Martin Lycka's Safe Bet Show

The latest episode of Martin Lycka’s Safe Bet Show is out and features Aaron GlynWilliams, Chief of Staff at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).

Martin and Aaron discussed the similarities between his previous roles lobbying for transport in Toronto and his current work with OLG, how changing consumer behaviour is shaping OLG’s offering and why the globalised nature of the gaming industry means that regions can learn from each other.

The duo also spoke about the “strong multicultural fabric” of Ontario and why operators need to remain culturally relevant as Ontraio’s gaming market becomes open to an increasingly diverse player base.
