Episode 13: VGTs, Casinos, and Online Betting in Illinois with Chris Altruda

Chris Altruda joined the podcast to chat Illinois gambling, including the possible sports betting tax increase, VGTs in Chicago, and whole lot more.

In this episode, I'm joined by the Steve Kornacki of gambling revenue, Chris Altruda, for a discussion on revenue, tax rates, and the many happenings in Illinois, and learn about Chris’s Mattress Mack connection.

Chris and I covered a lot of ground, and I even managed my first podcast edit to clip out Chris’s home inspection at about the 30-minute mark.

One of the fun parts of the interview was our conversation about covering the industry honestly and how people respond to constructive criticism, including us, the journalists covering the industry.
