At last week’s East Coast Gaming Congress<\/a> (ECGC) at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, a handful of gaming experts with a focus on iGaming gathered to discuss the future of online casino gambling. Titled “Whither iGaming,” the conversation focused on why iGaming has been so slow to expand legally into new states compared with sports betting’s rapid growth.<\/p>\n
