The Future of Online Gaming to Be Discussed at 2012 East Coast Gaming Congress & Hospitality Forum
(firmenpresse) - ATLANTIC CITY, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 04/23/12 -- It is a question of when, not if, Internet gambling will be legalized in the foreseeable future, either at the federal level or the states level -- or possibly both. Whichever model is implemented, legalization brings with it myriad legal, regulatory and operational questions. Seven nationally recognized industry experts will address these questions at the 16th annual East Coast Gaming Congress, May 16-17 at the spectacular new Revel resort in Atlantic City.
Lloyd D. Levenson, CEO of Cooper Levenson, Attorneys at Law, a co-organizer and co-producer of the event, will moderate the panel, "Understanding the I-Gaming Frenzy." The session is sponsored by GTECH G2, and featured panelists are:

David Clifton, Partner, Licensing & Gaming, Joelson Wilson LLP, London

Eamonn Toland, President, Paddy Power North America
