LAS VEGAS– The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) will examine the present and future roles of US lotteries when NCLGS convenes its Winter Meeting, December 8-11 at Resorts World Las Vegas.

Lotteries across North America face a host of market innovations, from ilottery to courier services. Growth in these areas presents opportunities and challenges for lottery directors and state legislators. As ilottery and igaming continue to expand, will they complement or compete with casinos and digital gaming – and how will lotteries address issues related to the expansion of unregulated gaming machines in convenience stores and bars?
Georgia Representative and NCLGS Treasurer Al Williams will chair the Committee on Lotteries, which will include the following presenters:
- Gretchen Corbin, Chief Executive Officer, Georgia Lottery
- Timothy Lowry, Partner, and Chair, National Gaming Team, DLA Piper
- Matt Strawn, CEO, Iowa Lottery
- Sarah Taylor, Executive Director, Hoosier (Indiana) Lottery
The committee session will feature two NASPL (National American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries) Presidents: Sarah Taylor, who is current President, and Gretchen Corbis, who is the immediate past President.
The four-day Winter Meeting will include six NCLGS Committee presentations, two general session panels, morning and luncheon keynote addresses, International Masters of Gaming Law Masterclasses, 2023 igaming legislative preview, two evening networking receptions, and off-site tours.
As the only gaming conference that focuses on legislative decision-makers, the NCLGS Winter Meeting will attract dozens of lawmakers from across the country among the more than 300 expected attendees. Other attendees will include regulators, operators, suppliers, attorneys, lobbyists, media and other stakeholders to discuss all aspects of regulated gambling.
The Sports Betting Regulators Association, a project of the Association of Racing Commissioners International, will once again co-locate with NCLGS, meeting on December 8.
