PGRI - Past,
Present and a Look at the Future Public Gaming Research Institute is
in its 36th year of providing support to all companies with an
interest in the $40+ billion-a-year public gaming industry. In
response to the needs of the varied organizations active in this
industry, PGRI sponsors conferences, trade shows and publishes
research for the lottery industries around the world.
The Institute publishes the trade magazine, Public Gaming
International Magazine, a weekly cross-industry report, PGRI's
Morning Report update. PGRI sponsors 2 annual Conference and
Exhibitions - SMART-TECH and EXPO/ILAC. PGRI also conducts
proprietary research for companies in the lottery and gaming fields
through its Gaming Research Services Group.
| Our
mission is to help government sponsored gaming
around the world to grow and prosper. Opportunities
to innovate abound with new games, new distribution
channels, new ways to engage the players’ interest,
new ways to enhance entertainment value. What’s new
about PGRI is our commitment to advocating for
change, and delivering editorial and analyses that
address the challenging, and sometimes problematic,
issues of the day. While we continue to analyze the
games, promotions, and strategies that are working
best, we are also assessing the changing political,
legal, and regulatory environment.
Gaming professionals trust Public Gaming because
it is the oldest continuously published magazine for
the worldwide gaming industry owned by the Public
Gaming Research Institute - the first worldwide
information gaming source created in 1973. -
Award-Winning Editorial -Over the years, since its
inception in 1975 Public Gaming has been the
recipient of many editorial awards and accolades and
won a special industry award in 1999 - honored at
NASPL ‘99 for 30 years of service to the lottery
industry. Electronic Editions available from
December 2001.
Founders 1971: Duane & Doris Burke
Doris
and Duane Burke started what is today Public Gaming Research
Institute, Inc. (PGRI) in 1971 as a vehicle for helping people in
government and industry interested in using state lotteries and
other government sponsored gaming to raise money for good causes.
From the fall of 1974 to the middle of 1980 Duane was also the
registered lobbyist for the National Association of State Lotteries
and is credited with helping defeat Federal government efforts to
restrict the operation and growth of state lotteries.
PGRI is now in its 36th year of continuous service to this industry
of which it has been a part almost since the beginning of modern
lotteries in North America and throughout the modernization of
lotteries throughout the world. Its objective remains the same as
when the company was founded, to help the people and institutions
committed to raising money for good causes.
In 1999 the North American Association of State and Provincial
Lotteries (NASPL) honored Doris and Duane for 30 years of service to
the lottery industry.
In 2006 they
sold the company to their daughter, Susan and son-in-law, Paul Jason
who's objectives remain the same;
to help the
people and institutions committed to raising money for good causes
as well as to carry on the traditions of the company.
The company publishes Public Gaming International magazine and
PGRI’s International Morning Report and are organizers of two
lottery industry conferences –
SMART-Tech and International Lottery Expo & ILAC Congress.
