AGEM Key Board of Directors Actions l AGEM continues to have dialogue with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Attorney General’s office on account wagering and other issues contained within proposed Regulations 5 and 5A. Separately, on April 5, a notice was posted by GCB Chairman A.G. Burnett outlining new proposals ultimately designed to help speed up the approval process of new products or changes to products. AGEM members will have a chance to weigh in when a meeting with GCB Technology Chief, Jim Barbee, is finalised.
l AGEM approved support of two important educational initiatives recently. Te UNLV Center For Gaming Innovation received $10,000 funding that will go towards new equipment to aid student’s development of gaming innovations. For the third year in a row, a contribution of $10,000 was also awarded to the American Indian College Fund AGEM Scholarship. Tis worthwhile and very successful cause provides full scholarships for multiple students each year.
l AGEM members discussed the recent activity in Florida that could be promising for gaming regulations to be passed this year although the Senate and House bills have vastly different goals. One seeks to expand, while the other wishes to freeze gambling. However, the Florida Legislature is fast approaching its last regularly scheduled session day. Te state Senate and House are set to adjourn for the year on May 5, adding urgency in finding a resolution to the gambling dilemma.
l Te European Casino Association recently appointed Philip Easthill as Executive Director, who has been working with AGEM regarding EU initiatives that might impact members. A proposed directive on liability for defective products is currently in consultation and might change the rules that are decided at EU level. Of larger impact, there is also development of online gambling reporting standards. Tis would be a big step forward for European Standards and other technical specs, but has a likely timeframe of three-years of development once the European Commission has made an official request, expected mid-2017.
Events and Activities l Te Japan Gaming Congress takes place May 10-11 in Tokyo. AGEM members
approved a sponsorship of $15,000 to support the Congress and ensure that AGEM has a strong presence in this important new market.
l AGEM will be very visible at G2E Asia in Macau, May 16-18, in support of show partners American Gaming Association and Reed Expo.
l Te European Dealer Championship will be held May 8-10 at the Hippodrome Casino in London. AGEM is once again sponsoring this important event that brings together dealers from all over Europe to compete for the top prize.
