Tom Lambeth from VP Capital talks with former AFL great and Cerutty Macro Fund founder Chris Judd about game developer Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL).

Mr Lambeth hopes the company will continue to focus on its core business of developing games – mobile & pokie – rather than platform.

“US gaming – as you and I have spoken about offline – is just going nuts in terms of demand,” Mr Lambeth said.

“It’s a bit like we saw with sports betting and wagering in the US a few years ago.

“We think it’s on a path to deregulation.

“And so with that framework you have got 7 states currently that have deregulated iGaming. And then meanwhile, the entire country has still got land-based casinos operating.

“It’s a very ripe environment I think for growth.”

He said while land-based was growing at single digit levels, digital gaming was growing at around 25% a year.
