It was back to school this week as Nick and I traveled to Stockton University to talk to the president of the American Gaming Association about the future of gambling and Atlantic City. Geoff Freeman sees a lot good going on in the city. From the Hard Rock announcement to the expansion of entertainment options, the city is in a good position to grow its share of the gambling market. And that includes getting a piece of sports betting, a prospect Freeman sees as likely given the country’s growing acceptance of gambling. After all, this has been a year in which an NFL team has located a franchise in Las Vegas (the same city that hosted a presidential debate in 2016). And, he points out, the man in the White House is a former casino owner. Freeman was at Stockton’s main campus in Galloway on Tuesday as part of the AGA’s marking of Responsible Gaming Education week, part of a two-stop tour.
