The February 27, 2014 inaugural iGaming Legislative Symposium at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel is expected to draw in state legislators, tribal and commercial gaming operators, internet gaming specialists and gaming regulators.
Online gambling legalization, regulation and taxation will be a top topic of discussion.
"The importance of fair taxation and strict regulation in a new industry like online gaming cannot be overstated," said Victor Rocha, owner and operator of Pechanga. "The 2014 iGaming Legislative Symposium was created to look at these and other important issues facing California in the next legislative session. Our goal is to provide solutions to these complicated issues."
"California has been a focal point for the implementation of Internet gambling for many years," added Joseph Weinert, executive vice president of Spectrum Gaming Group. "Considering the current size of its Native American gaming industry and its sheer market size, events in California could profoundly impact the size and structure of iGaming throughout the United States."
