At the International Game Standards Association GSATS Technology Summit conference November 12-13 at Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino in Phoenix, Arizona, the organization welcomed new Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Mike Dreitzer, who gave the keynote speech.
Dreitzer said his plans are for the state to reclaim “the gold standard” in gaming and be a supporter of tech innovation.
“My goal is for the approval of technology to match the speed of business,” Dreitzer said during the keynote address. “NGCB’s fundamental values of transparency, consistency, and communication will be reinforced. Communication will be a two-way street. I would like to formally invite all stakeholders in the industry, operators, and suppliers to ask us about new technologies because we want to have that discussion.”
IGSA President Mark Pace said his organization was “thrilled and honored” to have Dreitzer address conference attendees.
“His commitment to the importance of standards was evident, as was his plan to amend dated technical requirements, bringing them in line with current technologies,” Pace said. “His desire to engage with the industry, being open to technical innovation, and supporting standards aligns with IGSA’s mission. We were pleased with the success of this GSATS conference and look forward to welcoming the wide range of companies with a stake in gaming once more in 2026.”
