Joe Brennan Jr.PANELIST
I think people should just get ready for this one to be a similar type of timeline.
Matt LandesHOST
All right, well, from a recurring theme in the form of states versus prediction markets to an emerging trend in the form of what may or may not constitute gambling, pack ripping has quickly become the hottest new product in gaming, as evidenced at recent industry conferences like G2E.
Matt LandesHOST
The mechanic is simple.
Matt LandesHOST
Pay anywhere from a few dollars to thousands of dollars to open a digital pack, watch a real graded card appear, and then keep it or sell it back for about 90% of its value.
Martin LyckaHOST
And also you happen to be living in different cities these days.
Martin LyckaHOST
Think of that G2E, your sort of, Alan was telling me we had a very nice dinner.
Martin LyckaHOST
We did.
Martin LyckaHOST
You crossed paths midway through the at-contact.
Martin LyckaHOST
Perhaps your planes clipped the wings to say I
Alon SegevGUEST
told you, Martin, we touched wings as we crossed the Atlantic.
Alon SegevGUEST
Yeah, Ron flew over to Lisbon and I flew over to G2E.
Alon SegevGUEST
So I'm spending half my time here in Barcelona, the other half in Vancouver, Canada.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And as I mentioned off the top and, you know, there were, I think there were probably, if I'm not mistaken, at least a dozen to probably 18 operators who kind of got in under the October 12th deadline.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And, You and I ran into each other at the Global Gaming Expo at the end of September, and you were pretty confident when we talked at that point that you were going to get licensed and that Stake would be ready to start operating in Alberta before the end of October.
Steve McAllisterHOST
Maybe just start, Chris, just what that looked like.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And again, we've everything we've heard from people we talked to in the industry, the glowing reviews of both AGLC and the Alberta Eye Gaming Corporation in this process and allowing operators to get into the market fairly quickly.

Steve McAllisterHOST
We've seen some recommendations from, I think it's the Canadian Association of Mental Health Addiction.
Steve McAllisterHOST
along with Griot Evidence Insights, where they're recommending that that bill be expanded to include iGaming, which is something we've been saying for a while now, that focusing on sports thing, advertising thing, kind of misses the plot a little bit.
Steve McAllisterHOST
But I think going back to your point again, and this is something we wrote in the newsletter the week of the Global Gaming Expo, was that every stakeholder, I think, needs to have... play a role in kind of reshifting, reshifting the narrative with that story and, and, you know, our, our further guardrails needed.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And again, I think if you talk to, to Paul Burns and the Canadian gaming association and others in this industry, you, you never want to, you never want to put regulators in a place where they, they start putting additional measures in place that you're not going to be happy about.
Paul BogerHOST
The online platforms where users wager on everything from football games to the outcomes of elections have stirred controversy for how they skirt state regulations that traditional gaming companies must adhere to.
Paul BogerHOST
They dominated the conversation at last month's Global Gaming Expo.
Paul BogerHOST
They'll even have their own dedicated conference next week, also in Las Vegas.
Paul BogerHOST
And now they're tying up the U.S. circuit courts.
ShawnHOST
All right, so Sigma Derby is coming back, Mark.
ShawnHOST
We didn't talk about this with G2E a few weeks ago, but they recreated the Sigma Derby machine, the same one that Derek Stevens had a big parade for.
ShawnHOST
And the big thing about this is there is a newer version of the horse racing made by a different manufacturer, but Next Gaming decided they want to sort of recreate the old Sigma Derby with all of the...
ShawnHOST
I don't know, analogness to it, the kind of janky horses instead of being smooth.
Rickard VikströmGUEST
That's what we gave to the industry.
Rickard VikströmGUEST
The first time we were here at G2E in 2021.
Rickard VikströmGUEST
We had two colleagues here.
Rickard VikströmGUEST
And we had the first meetings that signed two clients.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And we had to hear back from somebody there.
Steve McAllisterHOST
I did speak with Dr. Kershner at the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario at the Global Gaming Expo earlier this month in Las Vegas.
Steve McAllisterHOST
And and she said that Meta has been more responsive in terms of taking action against some of these these phony ads.
Steve McAllisterHOST
But I was going to ask you, I guess, Two part question, Kerry, like are you when you're doing the research, are you kind of parsing what what would be regulated operators and what would be black market operators? And then are you also looking at, for lack of a better term, traditional media versus versus social media advertising?

Steve McAllisterHOST
Okay, well, listen, we'll make sure we get that into the sub stack post so that we shout the message out loud and clear that you now have a title.
Steve McAllisterHOST
But on a more serious note, it's great to have you back.
Steve McAllisterHOST
We had a chance to spend a little bit of time together at the Global Gaming Expo a few weeks back.
Steve McAllisterHOST
You know, that week, I think you and I talked at that point about how crazy things were in the Canadian gaming industry.
Paul BogerHOST
The online platforms where users wager on everything from football games to the outcomes of elections have stirred controversy for how they skirt state regulations that traditional gaming companies must adhere to.
Paul BogerHOST
They dominated the conversation at last month's Global Gaming Expo.
Paul BogerHOST
They'll even have their own dedicated conference next week, also in Las Vegas.
Paul BogerHOST
And now they're tying up the U.S. circuit courts.
NickHOST
So, you know, it's a holiday I get behind, no doubt about it.
NickHOST
So, Dan, it was great spending some time with you at G2E.
NickHOST
I take it you had a good show?
DanHOST
Yeah, it was great.
NickHOST
So that's the same way it works with every trade show, it seems.
NickHOST
Yeah.
NickHOST
Okay, well, not surprisingly, Dan, all of this month's listener questions were about, you know, what caught our eyes on the G2E exhibition floor.
NickHOST
Once again, my time down there was a bit compressed.
Brett AbarbanelGUEST
But all the other ways that we take risks, that we gamble with different things in our life, and that's really important to IGI as areas of study.
Brett AbarbanelGUEST
So we concentrate ourselves very much in this gaming industry that we're part of and that we really enjoy being part of because that is... never static space yeah we always have something new to study which is fantastic and one of the things that I really emphasize for IGI for myself and for all my staff is that IGI is not an internal academic silo we are not doing good we're not contributing to the world if we try and keep everything within so we really emphasize walls outward external facing discussions so whether that's presenting at G2E, or SBC, or now I have to name them all, ICE, or NEXT, or any other.
Brett AbarbanelGUEST
I'm so sorry if I've left, and I have, I'm sure, many, many of these out, whether that is going and meeting with different regulatory agencies all over the world.
Brett AbarbanelGUEST
For example, in a few weeks, And I guess by the time this airs, this will have been a few weeks ago, I will be in Japan for a conference on academic esports.
