Casinos in chaos and the regulator's response

Scandals in the casino space often put regulators in the spotlight. And, depending how big and salacious the crisis, the resulting media circus can have harsh consequences for the regulator.

Dr Larry Barton, Distinguished University Professor of Crisis Management and Public Safety at the University of Central Florida, knows full well that regulators can be blindsided when ‘it’ hits the fan in the casino game. He will share his insights at IAGR2019. 

This is a critical time for regulators to look at the landscape of potential controversies and crises and ask: how can we be more effective in the public interest?
LARRY BARTON, KEYNOTE SPEAKER @ IAGR2019
