This week, the Media Mavens team sit down to talk with gambling mogul Stephen A. Crystal, the Founder of SCCG Management.             Founding SCCG back in the early ‘90s, Crystal has worked to make the world of gambling more accessible than ever. Crystal’s first foray into the world of gambling was through his expertise in land use permits, which he used to help instill riverboat casinos in Missouri, one of the first examples of legalized gambling outside of Lasa Vegas and Atlantic City. Now, in a world where gambling is more digital than ever, Crystal’s world has opened up exponentially, and he sees no signs of slowing down. “Within the next 2 or 3 years, you’ll have close to 30 states with some form of legalized sports wagering and/or online casino.”             With the Mavens Team, Crystal discusses the emergence of numerous sports betting apps, the still huge prevalence of illegal gambling (60% of thre gambling population estimated by Crystal) and how companies can bring in new technology to protect their customers.             Listen in to learn about “Rolling the Dice & Innovating the Gambling Industry” and the future of gambling!
