Addiction 32: Simon Thomas and Dan Waugh at the (awesome) UNLV Risk conference

This episode is brought to you thanks to those benevolent wonders at GLI.

Back at the conference, we unexpectedly bumped into a proper couple of legends in the shape of Simon Thomas, top man at London's Hippodrome Casino, and Dan Waugh, a luminary at Regulus Partners.

We get in to all sorts in these conversations – the challenge of a safer gambling program at a land-based operation, a Handmaid's Take-style future for prohibitive marketing measures in the industry, and much more. Simon is 0:00 – 37:18, and you can hear Dan from 37:23 to 1:07:47.

Enjoy the episode!
