GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Victor Rocha, President, Victor Strategies

This week, the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Victor Rocha, the president of Victor Strategies, on his role as the chairman of the conference committee for the Indian Gaming tradeshow and conference scheduled for April 10-13 in San Diego.

The Indian Gaming tradeshow and conference is the highlight of the year for tribal gaming. Produced by the National Indian Gaming Association, the conference for this year’s show, being held on April 10-13 in San Diego, is like none ever offered before. Victor Rocha, the founder of Pechanga.net and president of Victor Strategies, explains why he responded to a request from NIGA Chairman Ernie Stevens to put the conference together. He says the 2017 conference focuses on the business of gaming because gaming continues to be the main economic driver for tribal casinos. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his offices in California last week.
