The children’s classic, the Tortoise and the Hare : Robert Ambrose Instructor Gaming & Hospitality Center for Hospitality & Sport Management Drexel University

In the Daily Fantasy Sports model, the Hare had a statistical advantage; even if he didn’t win the race. We are in a defining moment where regulation, gambling and the current technologies, are locked in not only a semantic debate but a regulatory one as well.

The recent headlines in the news have raised questions about the operational model of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS.) The controversy, based on some employees’ alleged use of proprietary information to wager, has made DraftKings and FanDuel the poster children for regulation.

Mark Wayman, Founder and CEO of the executive placement firm The Foundation, LLC discusses executive recruitment

My name is Mark Wayman, and for the last eleven years I have owned an Executive Recruiting firm focused on gaming and high tech. Compensation starts at $100,000; last year I placed eight executives north of a million dollars.

This article explains the types of questions you can expect when engaging an Executive Recruiter, and why we ask those questions. I focus on executives in the $100,000 to $1,000,000 compensation category, however these answers are relevant at all levels. Every time a Recruiter submits a candidate for a job, their reputation is on the line, so there is due diligence to ensure the candidate is a strong match for the open position. Three important points to remember about Executive Recruiters.

California’s Bicycle Club Casino is reinvented with a new look, focus and mission. By David McKee

In its 30-plus years, the Bicycle Casino, in Bell Gardens, has led a colorful life. “The Bike,” as it’s known to players and locals, was founded in 1984 by George Hardie Sr. The elder Hardie, however, was not fortunate in his choice of financiers. His backer, Sam Gilbert, was alleged to have underwritten the Bicycle Club as a means of laundering drug money. In April 1990, a federal court in Miami, Florida, ordered the Bicycle Club to be forfeited to the government to satisfy a tax lien. Thus, the U.S. government would find itself for much of the 1990s in the piquant position of running a California card room.
