MINNEAPOLIS, April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Building off the record total and legislative attendance at its Winter Meeting three months ago, the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States today posted its agenda for the Summer Meeting, which takes place July 12-14 at the Radisson Blu Downtown in Minneapolis.

The robust agenda for three-day NCLGS Summer Meeting includes six legislative committee hearings that will focus on legal, regulatory, operational aspects related sports betting, lottery and casino (commercial and tribal), plus a keynote from Timothy Wilmott, CEO of Penn National Gaming, North America's largest regional gaming operator.

"We look forward to the ongoing discussion on these issues and much, much more."

The NCLGS Summer Meeting agenda includes:

• Six legislative committee sessions: Casinos, Emerging Forms of Gaming, Indian Gaming, Lotteries, Responsible Gaming, and State-Federal Relations
