DC LOTTERY SCHEDULES IGAMING COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS
September 30, 2011
The D.C. Lottery announced today that it has confirmed the dates for the rescheduled iGaming community outreach meetings. The meetings scheduled in the 8 Wards of the District along with the ANC Chairs are part of a larger commitment to give the public a platform to voice their concerns and opinions about internet gaming in the District of Columbia following a June 29, 2011 public hearing.
“I look forward to kicking off the community meetings and garnering input from District residents on the most beneficial approach to shaping an iGaming program for the District. Our goal is to educate residents, constituents, and stake holders alike on what internet gaming is, what it isn’t, and highlight the potential benefits this new gaming platform may have in the District of Columbia. I want to ensure that residents have the appropriate information they need to make a well informed decision on the impact of internet gaming in the District and in their communities,” said Buddy Roogow, Executive Director of D.C. Lottery and Charitable Games Board.
The community meetings along with the ANC Chairs meeting will commence in mid-October and conclude shortly before the Thanksgiving holiday. A revised community meeting calendar has been made public on the D.C. Lottery website
