EDITORIAL
600+ pages of Cabot’s ‘opus magnum’ and I thank Tony Cabot for relentlessly continuing to contribute to the canon of gaming law literature. Our one-on-one interviews have become a regular fixture of our editorial contributions. In this edition we turn to the supply side of the industry. During my long and enjoyable conversation with Daron Dorsey, President and CEO of AGEM, we took a deep dive into the world of tariffs and just how disruptive they are to the intricate supply chain of gaming machine production. We also touched on the black market in gaming equipment and on the role of sound regulation and enforcement in protecting consumers and tax revenues. I hope you will enjoy this one-on-one with a key person / key association from the gaming industry. While the IMGL Magazine features contributions from around the world, our current issue features a geographical hotspot on Central Eastern Europe, with the two EU Member States Poland and Romania as well as Ukraine. The authors from these jurisdictions have not shied away from the challenges their gaming industry and its regulation are facing, particularly in the case of war-torn Ukraine. Finally, our current issue also touches on the narrow and winding path to raising capital in regulated markets and the increasingly important role of specialized geolocation services in aiding compliance. Enjoy! Simon planzer@planzer-law.com
