MEMBERSHIP NEWS
AGEM June 2024 Recap l Following the recent legislative developments in Brazil surrounding gaming, James Kilby of Vixio Regulatory Intelligence gave members an update of the current situation and what it may mean for the industry. On June 19, the Senate committee on Constitutional, Judicial and Citizenry affairs voted 14-12 to approve a sweeping gaming expansion bill to authorise land- based casino-resorts, bingo halls and video-bingo machines across Brazil. Several amendments were approved by the committee, including one to enable casinos to be developed alongside pre-existing resort facilities. Te committee vote, which had been postponed on several occasions following a May hearing, now enables Bill 2234/2022 to be brought up for consideration on the Senate floor where the Senate President has committed to holding a plenary vote on the bill, but not until after an upcoming parliamentary recess.
l AGEM Executive Director, Daron Dorsey, led a discussion amongst the members about recent legal developments in Mexico where some operators and suppliers received positive rulings on challenges to the reform decree passed in late 2023. Such decisions only apply to the parties involved in them, so the industry remains hopeful that the recent decision to consolidate the cases into designated courts will result in clearer guidance. AGEM continues to monitor the situation and will keep members aware of events as they occur.
l Daron Dorsey also provided an update on the recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule that comprehensively bans new non-competition agreements at the federal level. As expected, several companies commenced challenges to the rule in various courts across the US. On July 3, a judge in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction against the rule after finding the FTC lacked authority for such a rule. While this preliminary injunction and decision affects the parties involved in the case, many other court challenges and rulings are expected before the rule’s effective date in September.
l Event Vice President of G2E, Korbi Carrison, provided an update to members 90 days out from the event. She shared that all exhibitors should have received their Customer Invitation programmes, which provide unique codes for free passes and, as a result, customer registration is open and experiencing good activity. Te exhibitor manual is also now live and available online, giving details of customer support specialists who provide the first lines of support on all show issues. Exhibitors were reminded of the Good Neighbour Pledge, which provides guidelines when you can visit other exhibitor booths, as well as mindful planning of exhibits and communication amongst neighbours to share plans. In addition, Korbi shared this year’s planning to address logistical changes and efforts to ease the move-in / move-out procedure for everyone.
Forthcoming Events l AGEM is once again pleased to sponsor the European Conference on Gambling Studies and
Policy Issues (EASG), which takes place in Rome, Italy from September 10-13. Te EASG is the largest and most respected conference of its type in Europe and is expected to receive around 350 experts from over 40 countries globally.
