“I think it's like a snow globe. And the snow globe has been shook up. And you cannot see what is going to be behind all the little glittery bits of snow that are right now circulating.” ~ David Briggs

In this episode, David Briggs, co-founder of GeoComply, discusses the evolving gaming industry landscape, disruptive technologies, and the final Challenger Series event that will take place on the Monday of G2E at Park MGM.
We talk about the origins of Challenger, created initially to bridge founder-investor knowledge gaps and share real stories on pitfalls, and the impact it’s had on current conferences.
Beyond Challenger, Briggs and I have a candid discussion on the gaming industry's current disruptions, regulatory challenges, and likening the industry to a shaken snow globe, with the legacy industry getting overshadowed by emerging technologies like prediction markets, sweeps, crypto casinos, and DFS 2.0.
When discussing the current industry infighting, Briggs calls for honest economic discussions on regulation, emphasizing product innovation over legal battles.
An interesting topic is how prediction markets can leverage non-sports bets, such as the Oscars or elections, that could thrive under CFTC oversight, providing strong PR value without the tentpole event betting volumes.
