Women’s Initiative in Lottery Leadership Seminar (WILL) • March 30, Thursday 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm: WILL Reception NORMALIZATION OF GAMBLING, BETTING, AND LOTTERY: If you wanted to go to a casino in the U.S. fifty years ago, you had to get on a plane and fly to “Sin City” Las Vegas. The proliferation of casinos has now brought casino gambling to within a half-hour drive of almost everyone everywhere. And it all happened in less than two generations. Over this same fiftyyear period, the U.S. went from having six state lotteries to having forty-five state lotteries. And now, the explosion of sports-betting, online gambling, and iLottery over the last few years has capped this transition to where betting in all its forms is as socially acceptable, i.e. “normalized”, as your typical consumer product or recreational activity. How is this monumental sea-change of social attitudes about gambling reshaping player behaviour, the regulatory environment, and the competitive landscape within which lotteries operate? How do we carve out the most relevant role for State Lotteries in this new consumer marketplace of gambling as a socially acceptable consumer product/recreational activity? • Conference Info & Details: www.PublicGaming.org • News website: www.PublicGaming.com • View video-recorded presentations: www.PGRItalks.com • e-mail: PGRIJason@gmail.com See PublicGaming.org for complete information and conference updates
