Gaming Industry Consulting

The gaming industry is a $90 billion a year industry in the United States. The industry has a presence in nearly every state in one form or another—commercial casinos, Indian gaming, lotteries, racinos, pari-mutuel wagering, charitable gaming, convenience gambling, card rooms, and bookmaking. New and expanded gaming opportunities are being considered in many states, especially in light of government budget shortfalls. Meanwhile, gaming operators, suppliers, and investors are grappling with an uncertain economy, tight credit markets, increasing competition, and changing legislative, legal, and regulatory environments.
