I-Team: Gaming Expo Highlights Mobile Technology
LAS VEGAS -- The G2E gaming conference is happening this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center and it is the showcase for new slot machines, gambling technology and mobile gaming.
America is behind the times, pure and simple. Right now, millions of people outside our borders can bet on a football or a futbol game right from their phone. They can play slots for real money from their netbook. It is illegal here, but some companies are preparing for a future where Las Vegas is always at your fingertip.
Beyond the incessant clanging and kaleidoscope of the modern casino, the goal now is to make the casino come to you.
"Everybody here is losing business if they don't have an online presence," said Aegir Saevarsson with Betware Iceland.
Saevarsson says gambling should go where you go.
"They like to play it online, they like it play it on their iPhones," he said.
