Online poker in California most likely isn’t coming this year, but that won’t stop some of the industry’s leading figures from discussing its future in the Golden State.
The inaugural iGaming Legislative Symposium, to be held Feb. 27, 2014 in Sacramento, will “identify the critical issues regarding the legalization of online gaming in California, and explore possible solutions and success scenarios that are applicable to jurisdictions nationwide,” according to a press release.
California is the nation’s most populous state. It also has the largest tribal casino industry out of any in the country.
The announcement added that the symposium will examine the key policy decisions that will be considered in California in 2014 for online poker.
Industry experts such as Geoff Freeman, President and CEO, American Gaming Association; Mark Macarro, Chairman, Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians; and Richard Schuetz, Commissioner, California Gambling Control Commission, will discuss topics such as:
What can California legislators, regulators, and operators expect with the pending legalization of online gambling? What are the political pitfalls and opportunities for making iGaming a reality in California? Who are the stakeholders that will participate in operating California iGaming? What are the potential regulatory options and how are effective regulatory regimes developed? How should California structure its iGaming tax policy and what is the most effective policy?
Right now, just Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey have legal online poker.
