OIGA to Host 29th Annual Conference and Trade Show in OKC Aug. 12-14

Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association will host its 29th Conference and Trade Show at the Oklahoma City Convention Center Aug. 12-14. Nearly 3000 attendees, including tribal leadership, gaming executives and professionals, hospitality professionals and vendors, all coming together to do business, learn from one another, network and enjoy all downtown Oklahoma City has to offer.
“The industry we have built together is strong. From humble bingo halls established more than 30 years ago, Oklahoma’s tribal gaming has – thanks to the visionary leadership and hard work of many – become a powerful economic driver and job provider for thousands of Oklahomans in big cities, small rural communities and everywhere in between. I am profoundly grateful for tribal gaming and proud of all the good it brings,” said Matthew L. Morgan, OIGA chairman.
Long known affectionately as “the biggest little show in tribal gaming,” the Conference and Trade Show begins bright and early on Monday with the annual John Marley Golf Tournament at Lincoln Park Golf Course (sold out), an event which raises scholarship funds for folks who work in the gaming industry and their dependents. Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association established the John Marley Scholarship in 2008 to provide educational opportunities for OIGA member employees and their families. The John Marley Scholarships are dedicated to the search for knowledge and providing scholarships for eligible individuals to attend accredited colleges, universities, and trade schools in Oklahoma or other states. Since 2014, OIGA has awarded 64 scholarships.
The conference begins Tuesday at 8:30 am with the keynote address given by Paul Speirs-Hernandez. His topic: “Look Up: 5 Benefits of Putting Down Your Phone and Picking Up Your Potential.” After that, the morning will be filled with more conference sessions, followed by the ribbon cutting and opening of the trade show floor at noon, with a buffet lunch served at several stations on the floor. At 1:00 pm, scholarships and awards including the Chairman’s Award and Modern-Day Warrior Awards will be given during a presentation on the trade show floor.
Conference sessions have been strategically planned with topics and tracks for professionals in every facet of gaming and ancillary industries. Foundational subject matter ideal for younger professionals just starting their careers, or people new to gaming will include topics like “History of Oklahoma Tribal Gaming,” “Responsible Gaming,” and a roundtable forum discussion from tribal leaders.
More seasoned gaming professionals, or those in specialized areas of the industry will enjoy “What’s in Your Wallet,” an exploration of wallet options catering to the diverse needs and preferences of players; “Sports Betting Analytics and Beyond,” ideal for those who have already – or who plan to – add sports betting to their entertainment offerings. Now six years in, there is a large body of data available to analyze and use to aid in decision making. Another important topic area is safety.

Quixant to Exhibit at OIGA 2023 Conference and Trade Show
Quixant is going to participate in the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) conference and trade show, which is taking place in Tulsa from 15-16 August.
Developed to provide customers solutions that allow them to focus their efforts solely on content and enhancing their customer experience, Quixant’s range of game-changing solutions will be showcased at OIGA booth 1110.
Quixant believes that when bringing cabinets or kiosks to market, manufacturers’ focus should be on content and the customer experience, not developing and enhancing hardware solutions to build on and that they need the confidence that their solution is reliable and as powerful as their imagination needs it to be.
That’s why Quixant developed its ultimate range of hardware platforms – IQ, IQON, and QMAX – which have been developed with the requirements of the gaming and sports betting industry in mind. The platforms are designed to provide maximum performance based on budget, market, and product needs and come with Quixant’s market-leading software solutions as standard, which are designed to optimize product development and delivery and to expedite the time it takes to get products to market.
Along with its platform range, Quixant will also be showcasing its Quantum and Qinetic range of cabinets and kiosks at OIGA. Tailored to the requirements and legislation of all global gaming markets and the sports betting industry and powered by Quixant’s market-leading hardware platforms, they come with a comprehensive suite of peripherals. They are highly configurable and are available in a range of display and button deck configurations that can be tailored to meet each customer’s individual requirements, with expert technical support from Quixant’s in-house cabinet and kiosk design team.
Eric Walla, VP of business development at Quixant, said: “We are renowned for providing powerful and reliable hardware platforms with embedded software solutions to the industry, enabling our customers to focus on creating the best games and sports betting experiences on the planet. Speaking with customers and the wider industry in recent months, sourcing and developing hardware solutions is proving to be overly time-consuming, costly and distracts them from developing content and enhancing the player experience – the things that differentiate their products.”
Walla continued: “With Quixant, you can get your products to market faster, making them stand out from the crowd. We enable you to push what’s possible, adding the wow factor that doesn’t just stop customers in their tracks but keeps them coming back.”
He concluded: “Our team of gaming technology experts are always on hand to help integrate all elements of our customers’ products and to enhance the performance of their solutions. Our reason for being is to enable cabinet and kiosk developers to focus their efforts on delivering the ultimate content and customer experience. We help them to streamline the process, seek efficiencies and get their products to market faster. We welcome the opportunity to meet with manufacturers at OIGA who are looking to expedite the time it takes to get their cabinets and kiosks to market and deliver the ultimate customer experience.”

Sports betting and iGaming platform provider FSB will be showcasing their new state-of-the-art SSBT retail products at this week’s Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) event.
Supporting their sports, casino, mobile and multi-state PAM products, the retail kiosks add more depth to the full stack providers product mix.
The cutting-edge kiosks include a unique backend management set up which offers operators full visibility on real-time liabilities, access to remote terminal balance management data and a comprehensive suite of real-time reports that empowers customers to react and optimise their offering at rapid pace.
The multi-layered backend also gifts partners the chance to differentiate their front-end offering via a cutting-edge customisable display.
The FSB team head to OIGA on the back of a successful week at the North Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) event last month which saw the debut of their brand new US sales and operations team led by former Circa Sports Strategic Operations Manager, Mike Van Ermen.
Reflecting on this week, Van Ermen said, “We were tremendously pleased with how NIGA went for us last month. There was huge interest in our SSBT kiosks and I’ve no doubt we’ll see the same this week at OIGA.
“What sets these products apart from the market is the level of choice, control and transparency they offer operators. We’re all set for a busy week ahead at OIGA.”
