Everyone loves a title bout where the stakes are high and two of the best fighters square off for the ultimate glory of winning the championship and bragging rights – this was the scene at the 2014 IGaming North American Conference when Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber squared off with Sands Casino executive Andy Abboud to answer the question “Is iGaming the Problem or Solution?”
Intrigued spectators reacted with delight as both casino giants made their arguments to sway public opinion to their side. Garber seemed to have the upper hand throughout with swift logical responses to each of Abboud’s claims against making Internet gambling legal. Reactions to this highly anticipated bout were just as dynamic with Garber emerging as the clear winner. Below are some reactions from attendees:
“This is a conference about trying to develop regulations to make sure it’s safe. Once we work to build those regulations to protect the consumer, then I believe that Mitch’s argument prevails. Online sports betting is already working in Europe and it’s bringing in a lot of revenues. to those places. Why can’t we find ways to make it happen in the United States. ”
- Hon. Shawn Malone, Legislature of the US Virgin Islands
“Our organizational system here in the United States is leaning toward openness as opposed to closed environments, and as more-and-more people do want to pursue online gaming, the fact that it exists today and needs to be organized in a more lawful and recognized manner, I think it’s going to lead us in that direction over time.” - Matt Davis, MoneyGram
“ The biggest point Mitch Garber CEO made and it’s the point Andrew really had no argument against is that the customers are already there. The customers want to play online. In 15 years the number of people that want to play online is going to be a lot bigger than the number of people who want to go to a brick and mortar to play.” - Vin NaraYanan, Casino City Times & GPWA Times
