Bally’s execs tout online growth, Chicago casino progress during second-quarter earnings call

Executives from Bally's Corp. were triumphant on Wednesday (31 July) in their presentation of the company's future prospects in Chicago, Las Vegas and online. The company reported $622m in overall revenue, a year-on-year increase of 3%.

American Gaming Association CEO on the rebirth and renewal of US gambling

Bill Miller could argue that his tenure has seen the most transformative period for the gaming industry since the American Gaming Association was established in 1995. He talks to Robin Harrison about sports betting, gaming expansion, Covid-19, safer gambling and the illegal market in this exclusive interview.

When Bill Miller took charge of the American Gaming Association (AGA) in January 2019, the US commercial gaming industry was poised for a period of explosive growth.
