G2E Las Vegas 2026

Format

G2E runs three days on the Venetian Expo floor with the AGA conference programme alongside. Expo hours: Tuesday–Thursday, conference content begins Monday with industry committee meetings. About 350 exhibitors, 27,000 attendees in recent years.

The exhibitor floor splits visibly into three zones: land-based slot-machine manufacturers (Aristocrat, IGT, Light & Wonder), online iGaming platform providers (NeoGames, GAN, Playtech BGT, Pariplay), and the payments + compliance vendors that span both.

• State regulators on speaker panels: New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, Ontario (AGCO)
• Land-based operators: MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Wynn, Boyd, Penn Entertainment
