The Middle East is one of the few unexplored frontiers when it comes to the gaming industry, but what are the prospects for industry growth in the region?

Host Conor Porter is joined by his CasinoBeats & SlotBeats colleagues Joe Streeter and Danny Lee, dig into this topic on today's episode of iGaming Daily sponsored by Optimove, and put the spotlight on the Middle East and in particular the UAE, after Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts CEO and President, discussed the region at length at the J.P. Morgan Gaming, Lodging, Restaurant & Leisure Management Access Forum.

In the second half of the podcast, the guys discuss some recent big news at Entain around their legal challenge against Sports Entertainment Media BV and related parties involved in valuing its Netherlands subsidiary, BetCity.nl., before discussing themed slots in light of St. Patrick's Day in a Slots round-up.
