GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Chris Grove, Partner, Naruscope

Many experts believe that eSports is the next big thing in the gaming industry. That includes Chris Grove, a partner in Naruscope. His company is producing a conference at the SLS Las Vegas called eSports and Casino Resorts, October 25 & 26, designed to highlight how the two industries can work together. By bringing in experts from the eSports industry, Grove says the conference will present a different perspective from previous discussions about eSports at other gaming conferences. Also discussed is a new report released by Grove’s company on “skins betting,” a multi-billion-dollar enterprise on the edge of legality that accompanies the eSports phenomenon. He sat down with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the GGB offices in Las Vegas last week.
