Committee on Responsible Gaming
Gambling on Campus - Good Fun or Real Problem?: One study has found that about 75 percent of college students gambled during the past year (whether legally or illegally), with about 18 percent gambling weekly or more frequently, whether on lotteries, card games, pools, sports betting, or games of skill. This session explores the extent and magnitude of student gambling on college campuses — and how the rapid expansion of legal sports betting may impact that activity on campuses.

Committee on Emerging Forms of Gaming
Sports Betting — The Results and Lessons after One Year: When this committee meets, there will be a full year of results from two states (Delaware and New Jersey) and many months' of results from at least four other states in the post-PASPA world of legal sports betting. What have other states learned from the early adopters from legal, regulatory and structural standpoints, and has the performance met expectations?

Committee on Indian Gaming
Understanding Impacts of Tribal Casinos: Although from customer-perception standpoint a casino is a casino, those owned by tribal governments can have substantially more important impacts than a commercial casino on their communities, on governmental budgets, and on their citizens. As a result, tribal casinos can have statewide impacts that policymakers need to understand when crafting not just gaming policy but other policies such as economic development, education and human services.

Keynote Luncheon
The Next five Years of Gaming
Timothy Wilmott, CEO, Penn National Gaming, and Chairman, American Gaming Association
 Tim Wilmott was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Penn National in November 2013 after having served as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer since February 2008. During his tenure at Penn National, the Company has aggressively expanded its operating base with the opening of new full service casinos in Kansas, Ohio (2 facilities) and Massachusetts, and the Company acquired existing gaming facilities in Nevada, Missouri and Mississippi. In addition, Penn National launched an interactive gaming division featuring online social casino games, and expanded into the retail gaming business in Illinois. Wilmott has served on the Board of Directors of Penn National Gaming, Inc., since September 2014. In addition, Mr. Wilmott is Chairman of the American Gaming Association.
In November 2013, Penn National completed the tax-free spin-off to its shareholders of Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc., which owns the real estate associated with 21 casino facilities. In December 2017, Penn National announced an agreement to acquire Pinnacle Entertainment in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $2.8 billion. The merger will result in Penn National having the most extensive geographic footprint and operational diversity in the gaming industry, with a combined 41 properties in 20 jurisdictions across North America and more than 30,000 employees.
Wilmott joined Penn National with over 20 years of prior experience managing and developing gaming operations in diverse regulated jurisdictions including Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey and North Carolina, as well as internationally.
Wilmott has a B.S. and M.E. in Industrial Engineering from Lehigh University and an MBA in Corporate Finance from the Wharton School of Business.

Committee on Lotteries
Are Lotteries Becoming Gaming Companies?: In their never-ending search for revenue growth, state lotteries are entering new spaces such as sports betting, igaming and fast-play terminal games — activities that have traditionally been the domain of gaming companies. This is causing states to make policy calls — such as who will be the provider of sports betting? — while setting up actual or potential legal collision with the traditional gaming industry, as seen in Pennsylvania.

Committee on Casinos
Is There Room for Expansion? With roughly 1,000 casinos of all types in 42 states, both legislators and industry operators are continually exploring whether their state can support more casino gaming. While casino expansion has meet disappointing results in some states, others have potentially lucrative untapped markets. Experts examine the key data points and factors that determine whether a market can support new or additional casino gaming.

Committee on State-Federal Relations
The US Department's January reversal of the Wire Act opinion as it applies to non-sports-betting gambling threatens to certain forms of gaming — such as online casino, online poker, historical horse racing and, perhaps, lottery — at time when gaming is increasingly reliant on internet technology. Meanwhile, the Department of Interior has been active in matters impacting tribal casinos, with situations in Connecticut and Massachusetts being prominent. Four experts discuss how the Trump Administration may impact the gaming industry.

UIGEA, the Wire Act, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and State-Regulated Sports Wagering in the US: Can these Cross-Jurisdiction Gaming Laws ever be Harmonized?
Experts from different gaming industry sectors will explore the multiple crossover regulatory and legal issues involved in the interplay between federal laws, including the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the Wire Act, and Indian gaming under IGRA, and state-regulated sports wagering in the US. The panel will focus on what efforts are being made to address questions like: what is a “business of betting or wagering” for purposes of federal law, where is sports wagering gaming “conducted” for purposes of US law, what constitutes the legal situs of server-based gaming, does the patron's physical location make a legal difference, is proxy play permitted, can state i-gaming/sports wagering laws include regulation of tribal i-gaming/sport wagering operations conducted on Indian lands, what will be the impact on tribal gaming compacts and revenue sharing provisions, how will gaming system designs be impacted and more.

Gaming's Evolution toward Entertainment: Two-Way Street?
As gaming evolves into a broader entertainment experience, non-gaming companies from sports broadcasters to entertainment giants may move into gaming. Examples include the owner of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards seeking to create sports betting lounges inside the host arena; Buffalo Wild Wings seeking to capitalize on sports betting; and, previously, Hard Rock International becoming a major prominent casino company. What are the implications for both gaming companies and entertainment companies — and for state gaming regulators and state budget officers?
