Indian Gaming Tradeshow to feature industry leaders, launch sustainable gambling zone

This year's Indian Gaming Tradeshow, featuring the Digital Play Summit (DPS), will showcase "more of the industry's most high-profile operators than ever before, alongside a formidable line-up of its major providers."

Companies like IGT, Everi, Konami, Playtech, Chalkline, Continent 8, and GBank, as well as sports betting giants DraftKings and FanDuel, will be exhibiting at the Anaheim Convention Center, California, from April 8-11.

For the first time, the 2024 event will also demonstrate tribal gaming's adherence to player protection with the launch of a Sustainable Gambling Zone (SGZ).

The SGZ will be a focal point for collaboration where companies can discuss best practices, learn about the latest research and discover innovations in the area of harm prevention and long-term business and industry sustainability.

Presented as a physical area on the DPS show floor, it will feature kiosks where organizations committed to responsible gambling and players' health will exhibit their services, products and tools.

The SGZ is supported by IGT and endorsed by the National Council on Problem Gambling, Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health and The International Center for Responsible Gaming who were also among the first groups to confirm their presence with a kiosk.

The initiative, previously known as the Consumer Protection Zone at ICE London but unique for a North American gaming event, invites other organizations that put responsible gambling at the core of their practice to show their support.

Further exhibitors, sponsors and supporters of this key event in the industry calendar are expected in the next two weeks, all set to explore the incredible opportunities for growth in tribal gaming.

"We're delighted to have compiled such an expansive list of exhibitors as our stakeholders play a vital role in moving this industry forward, and positive progression is at the core of everything we do at the IGA," Ernie Stevens, Jr, Indian Gaming Association Chairman, said.

"A key part of that is everybody working sustainably and progressively. The Sustainable Gambling Zone at Digital Play Summit is the perfect vehicle for that message and is a fantastic initiative. We're excited to welcome exhibitors and visitors new and time-served to Anaheim to discover more of what we stand for and how working Indian country offers the opportunity to reap tangible rewards," he added.
