Gaming

There are few major gaming deals that transpire without the support of the internationally recognized gaming law group at Brownstein. We represent businesses and individuals who are seeking gaming licenses, liquor licenses, and related approvals from federal, state and local agencies throughout the United States. With a team of attorneys whose backgrounds include everything from gaming regulatory agency service to former in-house counsel, we bring signicant experience working with gaming regulators in most major U.S. jurisdictions.

Our gaming attorneys provide strategic guidance to our clients in structuring their major transactions to meet their operational and compliance goals and we assist in obtaining necessary approvals for public offerings, financings, business restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions.  We regularly and efficiently manage all gaming issues related to the acquisition and development of hotels, resorts, racinos, and casinos.

Leading the charge in the ever-expanding online gaming and sports betting markets, our attorneys completed many of the first online and sports betting transactions in New Jersey, helping to establish the framework of market access agreements that are now being implemented across the U.S.  We are uniquely positioned to advise the U.S. and foreign entities on the U.S. requirements to becoming licensed and operational. We counsel clients on transaction structures, technology platforms and regulatory environments associated with these emerging markets. We have strong working relationships with key gaming regulators allowing us to swiftly and efficiently solve regulatory issues for our clients in the biggest gaming markets in the country.
