Brought to you by those mighty folks at GLI!

Another double-header from the UNLV Risk and Gambling conference, this time we talk with Shane Kraus about gambling addiction among the armed forces, and among veterans. It's an enlightening field of study, and we hope to welcome Shane back on the podcast soon to talk more on this. [2:22 – 40:59]

Then we meet the mighty Howard Stutz, reporter extraordinaire from The Nevada Independent; Jon gets to be a bit fanboy here, while asking the question: does the media play a role in reframing how gambling is perceived in the future? [41:04 – 1:14:00]

Back at the conference, we unexpectedly bumped into a proper couple of legends in the shape of Simon Thomas, top man at London's Hippodrome Casino, and Dan Waugh, a luminary at Regulus Partners.

We get in to all sorts in these conversations – the challenge of a safer gambling program at a land-based operation, a Handmaid's Take-style future for prohibitive marketing measures in the industry, and much more. Simon is 0:00 – 37:18, and you can hear Dan from 37:23 to 1:07:47.

Enjoy the episode!

This is the second episode from the UNLV conference on Risk and Gambling, and we find Dr Auer and Jon with Tracy Schrans, of Focal Research Consultants. Tracy was there when a new form of gambling arrived out of the blue in Nova Scotia, in the shape of electronic gambling machines. This means she has been part of evolving research around problem gambling and much more from a time when many televisions were still black and white. I'm kidding, I'm kidding… Tracy tells us about how things unfolded from that first installation and much more. Michael explains that Jon's girlfriend is definitely not real [0:00 – 51:19].

Then we meet the excellent Alan Feldman, Director, Strategic Initiatives & Distinguished Fellow, Responsible Gaming at UNLV International Gaming Institute. Yes, I copied that off the internet, but he really does hold that title. Alan talks about many things, like organising such an event, what it means for the UNLV, and how sports can hugely integrate with a community, among many other things [51:20 – 1:26:24].
