California Sports Betting OutreachShiva explained how the Operator Conference has gone so far from his perspective.

“Given the huge number of tribes and geographic differences, we have created an online model that is favored by the majority of tribes. It's very difficult to do. So I think the hub-and-spoke model has the most potential for California probably more than any other model we've seen so far. ” running through them.
