Las Vegas conference will explore the esports opportunity for casinos

Much has been made of the potential opportunity that esports holds for the casinos industry in attracting the younger millennial generation, and moreover for the gambling industry in general.

Accordingly Narus Advisors is putting on a two day event in Las Vegas titled Esports & Casino Resorts which will explore this on October 25th and 26th at the SLS Casino and Resort. There is an impressive list of speakers confirmed for the event including Unikrn’s Rahul Sood, Global Head of Esports at WME | IMG Tobias Sherman, Director of Esports Operations at Twitch Nick Allen and many more.

John Caldwell, Partner, Narus Advisors said of the conference: “We see a tremendous opportunity coming between esports and casinos.  Early esports adopters in the land-based casino world are starting to see new customers arrive on property for new and different reasons.”

There is also a fascinating talk on the potential of virtual reality, gambling and esports on the second day.

Chris Grove, another Partner at Narus Advisors, said: “Our research leaves little doubt that casino executives appreciate the significance of esports, but are less clear on the optimal entry points into esports for their companies. Our goal at Esports & Casino Resorts is to provide the gambling industry with a practical framework for identifying and evaluating those entry points today.”
