From the Rail
The Inside Track on Global Casino News and Industry Secrets.
Conversations with casino executives, insiders, and operators about how gaming really works
From the Rail is a long-form casino industry podcast. We don’t cover gambling like a highlight reel — we break down what actually drives casino success: economics, leadership decisions, regulation, technology, and player behavior.
If you want the why behind what’s happening in Vegas and beyond, this is the rail you want to be on.

In this episode, David and Scott welcome Mike Lawton, a retired Senior Economic Research Analyst from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, to discuss the evolving landscape of the gaming industry.
