Ep 272: Death, Taxes and Massachusetts Drama

iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, returns to the US for today's episode as Jessica Welman welcomes Charlie Horner to discuss a couple of major recent stories.

Thankfully, no deaths to speak of on today's podcast but life's two other guarantees are here. First up, Illinois recently announced a significant change to their taxation structure, with a tiered approach that places their top rate as the second-highest in the US. What's the deal? What's the likely impact, and will other states follow suit?

And in the second half of the podcast, Jess and Charlie dig into that MGC meeting. What was the meeting supposed to achieve? Where does this leave the operators that no-showed? And what's next for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission?
