Next Stop Pennsylvania! Nearly 200 years ago, the Pennsylvania Railroad became one of the most important economic drivers in the nation. As NCLGS makes a stop in Pittsburgh this summer, Pennsylvania can lay claim to being one of the most sophisticated, diverse and important gaming states in the nation. It has everything from brick-and-mortar facilities to a vibrant horse racing industry to iGaming to online and retail lottery and even distributed gambling. Our regulatory and political heavyweights discuss the Pennsylvania gambling story and – most importantly – lessons learned while implementing these many verticals of gaming.

Whether it's called Real Money Video Games or Skill Gaming, legislators, regulators, and operators are taking notice of this growing and mostly unregulated market that competes with casinos and online gaming companies.

“Just the facts, ma’am,” is a catchphrase attributed to the famous “Dragnet” police detective Joe Friday. So what are the facts when it comes to gambling and economic development? It has been more than five years since legal sports betting spread beyond Nevada. The casino and iGaming industries continue to expand. Are the gambling companies living up to their part of the bargain in raising revenues for states and acting as economic development vehicles. What are the facts?

9:00 a.m. – 9:50 a.m.                          Committee on Lottery: The Future of the Ever-Evolving Lottery

In 1612, the Virginia Company of London was authorized by King James I to run a lottery to help finance shipping to the Jamestown colony in Virginia. The Puerto Rico Lottery (Lotería de Puerto Rico) was first authorized in 1814 by the King of Spain and was enacted into law in 1934. This was followed, many decades later, by the New Hampshire Lottery in 1964. By the 1980s, a large number of states followed suit and started getting into the lottery game. Multi-state lotteries, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, entered the market in the mid-1980s – then smaller states banded together to increase the size of jackpots, which attracted more players. What is the future of the lottery? What do the next 10 to 20 years look like? What types of companies are disrupting the business? What are the opportunities and challenges for lottery directors throughout the nation? What’s next?
