SBC is gearing up to launch its debut Earnings & More:Capital Markets Forum event at the iconic New York Stock Exchange on May 6, offering 200 attendees a blend of learning and networking opportunities with leading experts.

This exclusive event, organized in collaboration with Earnings+More, aims to unite top minds from investment banks, M&A, and strategic advisory firms, alongside financial analysts and senior decision-makers from the gambling industry. Together, through a series of conference sessions, they will discuss pivotal trends shaping the betting and iGaming space in the United States and globally.

Conference Sessions

As the era of readily available capital wanes, private equity finds itself under pressure to validate its value proposition. Experts Adam Rosenberg (Senior Advisor | Gaming & Leisure, Blackstone), Joel H. Simkins (Managing Director, Houlihan Lokey), Nanette Heide (Global Chair, Private Equity Group, Duane Morris), and John Decree (Analyst, Global Commercial Real Estate Services) will dissect the specific contributions private equity can make to the gaming industry by evaluating its industry-related historical performance. Among other topics, the ‘Private Equity and Gaming’ panelists will elaborate on which companies they identify as promising targets for private equity involvement, both in the public market and among privately owned enterprises.

The ‘Billion-dollar Babies: The Swing to Profitability’ panel will explore the implications of the shift towards profitability and the rise of billion-dollar EBITDA giants for the rest of the United States’ online sports betting and online casino industry. The panelists will answer questions such as the repercussions the substantial profits amassed by sector frontrunners will have on others in the field, as well as how those earnings are going to be utilized. Andrew Fabian (Investment Banking – Global Technology Group, Citi), Barry Jonas (Managing Director, Truist Securities), Cassandra Lee (Senior Associate, Bettor Capital), and Chad Beynon (Senior Equity Analyst, Macquarie) will also discuss whether the industry will witness increased merger and acquisition activities, among other key discussion points.

As the trend of European companies struggling to penetrate the North American market prompts questions about their ongoing aspirations, the ‘Safe European Home: What do Withdrawals from North America Say about Future Ambitions?’ panel will delve into the associated challenges of the companies retracting their presence from North America. With concerns over wasted capital and failed ventures looming large, Ramy Ibrahim (Managing Director, Moelis & Company), Matt Sodl (Founding Partner & President, Innovation Capital), and Robin Chhabra (CEO, Tekkorp) will discuss strategies for assuaging investor apprehensions and articulating future plans. Scott Longley (CEO, Clear Concise Media) will moderate the session.

As the trend of continuously expanding portfolios with bolt-on deals becomes more challenging, the ‘No More Worlds to Conquer: What Happens When the Bolt-On Deals Dry Up?’ panel shifts the discussion to the future of M&A activity. Sandford Loudon (Partner, Oakvale Capital), Thomas Nicholls (Managing Director, Strategic Advisory Group, PJT Partners), Adam Berger (Partner, Duane Morris), and James Brodie (Head of Interactive, International, MGM Interactive) will zoom in on the quest for value-enhancing deals in Europe and beyond and analyze whether the era of the bolt-on juggernaut is nearing its end, with such opportunities dwindling and shareholders growing increasingly wary of costly expansions.

While the spotlight has largely been on the expansion of sports betting in the United States, the slower progress of online casino legalization at the state level has received less attention. Panelists Davis Catlin (Managing Partner, Discerning Capital), Josh Swissman (Consultant, GMA), Lauren Seiler (Founder, Global Gaming Advisors), and Eric Hession (President, Caesars Digital) will discuss the opportunities in the online casino field and the potential rewards that operators can capitalize on during the ‘Short-term memory: Have investors forgotten about iCasino?’ panel. Caroline Ponsetti (Communications Strategist, Invariant) will moderate the session where one main question will be answered: are investors tuned in to this long-term potential?

Once the conference session concludes, attendees will be invited to join Networking Drinks directly on the Trading Floor at 6 pm.

Secure your spot at the Capital Markets Forum with a pass priced at $300. Availability is limited.

Conveniently timed, the event precedes the SBC Summit North America, the foremost iGaming & Sports Betting Event in North America, scheduled for May 7-9 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey. This ensures convenience for those interested in attending both events.

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in gaming, sports betting, iGaming, and emerging gaming technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Slot Check, Inc., a real-time slot performance intelligence platform delivering actionable machine-level insights directly to players and operators.

Through this partnership, SCCG will provide global business development, advisory support, and strategic distribution services to accelerate adoption of the Slot Check platform across commercial and tribal gaming markets. SCCG will facilitate introductions to casino operators, loyalty platforms, and strategic technology partners within its global network to support commercial deployment, integration opportunities, and long-term market expansion.

Slot Check delivers real-time slot performance analytics at the individual machine level, empowering users with detailed insights including Return to Player (RTP), Payout to Player (POP), win-per-spin metrics, jackpot performance, volatility profiles, machine trends, and multi-timeframe data ranging from hourly performance to 30-day analytics and since-last-jackpot reporting. It’s sports analytics for slots.  The platform enables players to sort, filter, rank, and track every machine on a casino floor while also tagging favorite slots and monitoring personal play history.  The player engagement Slot Check creates increases visits, coin in, and actual win – and every other KPI in between.

Designed as a progressive website application for seamless deployment, Slot Check provides casinos with a player engagement tool that enhances transparency, increases time-on-device, and supports loyalty-driven gamification initiatives. The platform can integrate within existing loyalty environments, positioning it as a force multiplier for casinos seeking to modernize the slot floor experience without requiring native app distribution.

“The slot floor remains the financial engine of the casino, yet player-facing innovation has historically lagged behind other verticals,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Slot Check introduces a powerful layer of transparency, engagement, and data intelligence that aligns with the modern player’s expectations. Through our global operator relationships and distribution platform, we’re excited to help position Slot Check as a leading innovation partner across commercial and tribal gaming enterprises.”

In addition to global business development, the partnership includes a coordinated marketing and lead generation strategy leveraging SCCG’s media assets, newsletters, and sales channels. Slot Check will receive ongoing brand visibility across SCCG’s weekly newsletter reaching more than 33,000 global gaming executives, as well as inclusion in targeted articles, outreach campaigns, and technology innovation discussions designed to expand awareness and drive enterprise adoption.

Slot Check’s platform introduces a new dimension of slot floor intelligence by presenting ranked lists of performance insights, leaderboards, trend tracking, and advanced machine analytics that empower both players and operators. By combining detailed performance transparency with loyalty-linked engagement potential, the solution supports casinos seeking measurable lift in slot engagement, targeted promotional strategies, and enhanced guest retention.

“Slot Check has truly flipped the script and the results for those casinos bold enough to engage with us is INCREDIBLE!” states Grant Stousland, Founder & CEO, Slot Check, Inc.  “We are excited to partner with SCCG’s global distribution network as they help us scale to the next phase of our platform’s growth.”

As the gaming industry continues to evolve toward data-driven personalization and digital engagement, the partnership between SCCG and Slot Check represents a strategic alignment between real-time performance analytics and a global advisory platform capable of accelerating enterprise adoption across diverse gaming markets.
