The Louisiana gaming industry has gone from bad to good, and much of that credit must go to Ronnie Jones, who has been chairman of the state Gaming Control Board since 2013. Before that, he was a key member of the State Police, investigating ownership and incidents involving the riverboat gaming in the state.

He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
