Zitro has officially joined the American Gaming Association (AGA) as its newest member, where the supplier will now participate in advocacy efforts, exchange best practices with fellow gaming entities and contribute to policy discussions.
"This is the right moment for us to take a more active role in the industry conversations around gaming in the US," Zitro USA CEO Derik Mooberry said.
"The gaming landscape is evolving fast, and the AGA provides an essential platform where suppliers and operators can tackle challenges collaboratively, from advancing responsible gaming to navigating complex regulatory frameworks. We're eager to contribute our international perspective to these important discussions."
Zitro stated the decision comes at a "natural time for the company," given its recent expansion throughout US gaming markets. Since its original launch in 2007, led by Founder Johnny Ortiz, Zitro has expanded its casino portfolio to over 50 countries across the globe.
"We're delighted to welcome Zitro to the AGA," AGA SVP of Membership and Events Maureen Beddis said.
"Their innovation, expertise and commitment to our flagship event, G2E, are valuable additions to our membership, and we look forward to partnering with them to continue to drive the industry forward."
