Vixio X AGEM: Global Gaming Suppliers Seminar 2026 Key Takeaways

In August this year, Vixio had the privilege of co-hosting the fourth annual Global Gaming Suppliers Seminar in Las Vegas along with our colleagues and partners at the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM).

This exclusive event gathers senior legal and regulatory professionals to discuss critical regulatory issues for gaming suppliers, both within the United States and globally.

This year’s seminar kicked off with opening remarks from Mike Dreitzer, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Chair Dreitzer updated executives on the NGCB’s modernization initiative to streamline regulatory compliance for gaming equipment suppliers in Nevada, the state’s legal battle against prediction market platforms, and the regulator’s new guidance regarding iGaming operations in international markets. 

Vixio’s chief analyst James Kilsby then gave an overview of the fluid regulatory landscape for prediction markets, sharing insights into the key legal and policy fronts for gaming suppliers to watch in the coming months, including:

• The potential timing and scope of a Supreme Court ruling
• How tax is a key policy battleground to watch in 2027
• Why congressional action is unlikely — but not impossible
• The CFTC’s pending rulemaking initiative and its implications
• How global gaming regulators are approaching prediction markets

The seminar concluded with a panel discussion moderated by AGEM CEO Daron Dorsey that saw James and Brendan Bussmann of B2 Global Advisors share their expert perspectives on gaming expansion initiatives and pending regulatory changes in the U.S. and key global markets such as Brazil, the UAE and Japan.
