Low Rollers Podcast, Episode 84: Gene Johnson On Cannibalization Claims
Weekly show also explores tendency to amplify shaky gambling polls and studies without first questioning why they're shaky
On the Aug. 27, 2026 episode of Casino Reports’ weekly gaming-biz podcast, presented in partnership with DraftKings Casino, I welcome Victor Strategies Executive Vice President Gene Johnson for a conversation covering the cannibalization debate, the outlook for iGaming legalization, the legality of sweepstakes casinos and prediction markets, Gene's outspoken business partner Victor Rocha, and more.
I also give a stern lecture to media and industry folks who blindly promote perplexing poll and study results, and I talk about my growing passion for NFL Best Ball, my frustration at always picking 10th, 11th, or 12th, and my shock at a draft in which Joe Burrow went No. 1 and Jahmyr Gibbs went No. 4.
