The American Gaming Association has just announced the newest inductees to its venerable Gaming Hall of Fame.
This year, the AGA is calling those selected the most diverse class of inductees to ever make the cut.
Here’s the list of inductees:
- Late gaming law expert Bob Faiss
- Former Las Vegas mayor and current Caesars executive Jan Jones Blackhurst
- Nevada gaming control board pioneer Patricia Becker
- The second-ever tribal gaming leader to be selected, Ernie Stevens
The 2014 class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony hosted by MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas on September 29th.
“We’re proud to recognize these men and women who have led the gaming industry as it’s become a job creating and economic development machine in Las Vegas, around the country and across the globe,” says Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the AGA.
“Bob, Jan, Patty and Ernie have moved gaming forward by guiding the industry through a period of incredible growth, by blazing a path for more women to assume leadership positions, and by advocating on behalf of tribal communities across the nation,” he concluded. “I look forward to celebrating their tremendous careers and contributions to gaming.”
