A slew of policy changes and new policies from the second administration of President Donald Trump could represent sweeping changes for many facets of life in the United States. The gambling industry might not be immune from many of the impacts.
Those impacts could include workforce shortages, energy issues, and difficulties in securing necessary components for gaming technology. Industry officials are currently taking wait-and-see positions on the matters.
When it comes to policies that could affect gambling licensees in the US, three policy focuses are central to the conversation. Those are:
- Immigration and the legal status of hospitality workers who may be undocumented
- Environmental policies and their impact on energy availability
- Economic policies that could limit availability of electronics
