While focused on the US market, this discussion offers pertinent insights for Africa—particularly how regulatory shifts can influence visitor traffic and parallel industries such as iGaming.

Strategic outlook for B2B actors
Operators, suppliers, and African regulators could employ agile regulatory models —think special regulatory zones or adaptive pilots— to trial progressive norms before broader implementation.
Conclusion:
The regulatory debate in places like Las Vegas offers foresight for Africa: how calibrated flexibility can revitalise sectors, enhance user experience, and strengthen competitiveness. A critical trend for B2B stakeholders designing effective, forward-looking regulatory frameworks in emerging markets.
