Steve Rittvo is one of the quiet movers and shakers in the gaming industry. Since his entry into the gaming industry as Louisiana legalized the activity, his company, the Innovation Group, became one of the most dynamic and flexible of the consultants to the industry. Working first on gaming expansion in the U.S., the company participated in emerging markets, tribal gaming and international expansion. In fact, Rittvo’s latest efforts have helped the Cordish Companies reach an agreement to build a mixed-use gaming enabled neighborhood in Madrid, Spain. Rittvo’s departure from the Innovation Group has ensured the future success of the company as his expertise and his reputation remain with the excellent executives who are now in charge. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his offices in Colorado in November.
