Gaming Americas Weekly Roundup – June 01-07
Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! It was again an eventful week at the USA, despite the still-active virus attack. Several gambling companies have restarted their operations and some others are on way to resume.
Here, we are going through the weekly highlights of the American gambling industry which includes casino reopening, new partnerships, award winnings, new appointments, and recent announcements. Read on and get updated.
Casino Reopening
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has revealed that he believes Atlantic City casinos could reopen by July 4, with certain restrictions in place.
The governor said in a radio interview that his administration is “trying like heck” to get the casinos opened earlier but said the task is enormously complicated to ensure the safety of gamblers and workers.
New Partnerships
Incentive Games has partnered with Full Engagement Sports (FES), a Las Vegas-based iGaming company, to launch its esport bracket-challenge game. FES will launch this game to its customer-base as a free-to-play prediction game with a view to offering pari-mutuel betting in the future.
Awards
NeoPollard Interactive LLC (NPi) has been nominated for Lottery Supplier of the Year by eGaming Review (EGR) as part of its upcoming 2020 B2B Awards.
NeoPollard Interactive delivers cutting-edge technology, a full suite of managed services, and top-performing game content to 50% of U.S. lotteries that sell products online.
Market Response
Table Trac Inc. has received a positive market response on its proprietary and patent-pending Dynamic Auto Social Distancing (DASD) solution.
DASD helps to automate social distancing at games and supports the enhanced sanitization protocols and guidelines in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Table Trac was the first to develop and deploy these advanced technology solutions in live gaming casinos to help safely reopen those casinos.
New Appointments
FansUnite Entertainment Inc. has appointed global gaming veteran Saxon Shadforth to its Board of Directors. Shadforth has more than 25 years of global leadership expertise and 15 years of experience as an online gambling executive. Saxon has previously worked at Activo in Montevideo, Uruguay, Yew Tree Services in Manila, Philippines, Riplife Gaming Technologies in Barcelona, Spain and Gateway Inc. in Sydney, Australia and Denver, Colorado.
The Louisiana senators have removed the chairman of the state’s gambling regulatory board on the final day of the regular legislative session. Ronnie Jones, chairman of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, was among 11 appointees selected by statewide elected officials to work in agencies or serve on boards who did not receive approval from the Senate.
Later, Governor John Bel Edwards appointed Lieutenant Colonel Mike Noel as the new chairman of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. Noel served with the Louisiana State Police (LSP) for more than 30 years.
Announcements
The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) has announced the important changes to its 34th National Conference on Gambling Addiction and Responsible Gambling.
NCPG has been closely following the Coronavirus-related health measures that have forced the cancellations of many public events. After weighing options and consulting with members, presenters, sponsors, other stakeholders and health authorities, the decision has been announced to split the conference into two sessions to provide the safest experience while accommodating the maximum number of stakeholders.
Compliance
Playtech plc has secured approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) to launch its casino products in New Jersey market.
Playtech will launch soon in New Jersey under its transactional waiver with bet365 and Hard Rock Atlantic City. Playtech expects to launch with further operators in New Jersey in the near future and has also started the licensing process in other US jurisdictions.
