Washington state hosts one of the most interesting gaming industries in the U.S. With tribal and commercial casinos, the state is often a beachhead in the gaming industry. Chris Stearns, a member of the Navajo tribe, and an expert in Indian gaming law, was appointed chairman of the Washington Gambling Commission in 2013 and recently reappointed to a term that will last until 2021. He has paid close attention to iGaming and possible implications in Washington state, as well as the spread of illegal gambling in the state. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
