Description

Right to the Source is back with some hasty calculations on Illinois’ tax grab, before Robin Harrison and Ed Birkin with a jazzy new recording setup turn the conversation to gaming regulators. 


Robin and Ed discuss how these industry referees are caught between political pressure from lawmakers and industry expectations, and whether regulatory goals actually reflect market realities. There’s also the catch-22 situation regulators find themselves in, when channelisation remains the ultimate goal despite any signs of the overall market growing being met with concern by many stakeholders. 


There’s even time to list some of the best referees. Who remembers Uriah Rennie?
