The New Normal: A New Year, New Battles, and the Path Forward for Tribal Gaming​​​

Wednesday, January 7th, 2026 As IGA prepares for its presence at ICE 2026 in Barcelona and continues building the agenda for the Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention 2026, David Z. Bean, Chairman of the Indian Gaming Association, joins The New Normal to discuss the priorities shaping the year ahead for Indian Country. The conversation will address how IGA’s programming is coming together, the role of session submissions in shaping the conference agenda, and how the Association ensures its education reflects the real operational, legal, and market challenges facing tribal gaming. The discussion will also focus on IGA’s continued pushback against sweepstakes gambling and prediction markets, along with ongoing efforts to advance sports betting initiatives in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The conversation provides a clear, forward-looking view of how IGA is positioning tribal gaming for the year ahead and why these issues matter to tribes, operators, regulators, and industry leaders.
