Taft Chicago partner Kimberly Copp will moderate a panel titled, “iCasino or Brick and Mortar: Roadmap to Future or Dead End?“ at The Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
The presenters will discuss the long history of casinos—an economic mainstay in the eastern United States for nearly half a century—compared to iGaming, which has been a presence for less than a decade. Panelists will explore which form of gambling has a brighter future—and which is more likely to generate greater revenue or advance public policies. In addition, speakers will discuss whether they believe these two verticals can work together to their mutual benefit to advance policies on issues that range from urban development to employment to tax revenue generation.
Panelists joining Copp to discuss these topics include Jeff Gural (Chairman, American Racing and Entertainment and Owner, Tioga Downs Casino Resort), Brian Hansberry (Group President, Gaming Division of Delaware North), James Hartmann (State Government Relations Director, FanDuel), and David Isaacson (Senior Vice President, Spectrum Gaming Capital).
