It turns out that the road to regulated sports betting and online gaming in Alberta has hit a pothole or two.

Tom Nightingale of Canadian Gaming Business reported Monday that more time is needed for the provincial government in the land of the Oilers and Flames to meet with various stakeholders with potential skin in the game of a legal gambling marketplace. For further context on this story, Jessica Welman – the editor-in-chief of both SBC Americas and Canadian Gaming Business – made her return to the Gaming News Canada Show.

Welman joined GNCS host Steve McAllister before getting on yet another plane. . . this time to Las Vegas for this week’s Global Gaming Expo, to provide her insight on a few topics, including:

· Some key takeaways from the recent SBC conference in Lisbon

· Teeing up G2E this week

· The buzz around sweepstakes in the U.S. of A. these days, including her recent conversation with Novig co-founder/CEO Jacob Fortinsky

· The latest on efforts in the Canadian Senate to pass a bill which would create a framework for sports betting advertising in our home and native land

· And other matters pertaining to legal gambling in the U.S., including what’s happening (or not) in California, Texas and Florida.
