The Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga (RGCS) is a premier intensive forum that uniquely bridges the worlds of horse racing and modern casino gaming. Held during the historic summer racing season in Saratoga Springs, the conference serves as a critical analytical hub for decision-makers navigating the complex legislative and commercial intersections of these two massive industries.
Host: Spectrum Gaming Group and Dickinson & Avella.
Focus: The conference centers on synergy and legislative evolution. Key sessions analyze national trends in sports betting, the integration of horse racing with digital gaming platforms, and New York State’s specific regulatory landscape. It addresses critical issues such as federal oversight in racing (HISA), the future of “racinos,” and the economic impact of gaming expansion on traditional agricultural and sporting sectors.
Format: Hosted at The Saratoga Hilton, the event is strategically timed to coincide with the world-class racing meet at Saratoga Race Course. The program features high-level panel discussions, keynote addresses from state officials, and exclusive networking events that allow attendees to experience the “Summer Place to Be” while conducting high-stakes business.
Audience: The forum brings together an influential mix of state legislators, regulators, gaming operators, horse racing executives, and legal counsel. It is an essential gathering for stakeholders invested in the New York market and national gaming policy.
