GMB – In what fields does Spectrum work in the
gaming industry?
Fredric Gushin - We
are a global consulting firm that offers advisory services to governments in
search of gaming regulation and formation of control structures to ensure clear
rules both for governments themselves and for operators and therefore for
players, who will have the necessary security to enter a gaming room. We
operate in Europe, Asia, the United States and the Caribbean.
In which countries is Spectrum currently
present?
We act in more than 40 countries, guiding, investigating and helping
governments to maintain transparent and clear operations, defined in their
internal rules.
What can Spectrum do for Brazil?
Brazil is now
starting to take its most important steps towards the adoption of complete
legislation for the sector and regulation is fundamental, so that the activity
develops in a serious way and produces benefits for the country and the whole
society. It is important to establish good practices for a sector that is
beginning to be designed and we have all the technical and professional
capacity to guide the government in the direction of the industry to flourish.
It is a critical issue to have a good regulation so that the activity attracts
investments and becomes a world reference, since Brazil has continental
dimensions and has been seen as one of the emerging markets more attractive for
the gaming industry.
Do you believe that the country is in
the right moment to approve a gaming law?
I think so. The country has been discussing the theme for a long time and
in the current stage we recognize that the country is going through exactly the
moment of adjustment of the theme of regulation to soon have the activity
approved.
