The Big Picture:  Sometimes things don’t happen for decades, and sometimes decades happen in weeks.  The world is changing at warp-speed.  Following the pandemic, how do we think consumer behaviors will change and how will that impact the lottery industry … Are we prepared to optimize on the opportunities and navigate the challenges?   How will big-picture macro-economic/sociological/ cultural changes filter down to reshape specific industries … like retail, recreational gaming, and Lottery?  How might consumer lifestyles and player behaviour be permanently changed as a result of the pandemic?  And how have operational changes necessitated by the pandemic revealed new and better solutions, best-practices, and ways to operate that will continue on into the future?

The Big-Picture Roundtable Leader:

Gordon Medenica, Director, Maryland Lottery and Gaming and

Lead Director of Mega Millions

Panelists:

Richard Bateson, Chief Commercial Officer, JUMBO Interactive

Mandy Carter, Director of Retail Development, Scientific Games

James Maida, Chief Executive Officer, GLI (Gaming Labs)
