Rank's David Williams on why the UK industry needs changes yesterday – and more!

To kick off, Fintan and Jon discuss salt in food. Yeah, we don’t know why either. Then they talk a bit about Optimove, which segues nicely into Clarion Gaming, because they organise ICE and Optimove are at ICE. I know right! And then they talk about listener messages; and the possibility of Gambling Files merch appearing, because it’s a thing now [0:00 – 22:01].

Then David Williams, Director of Public Affairs at the Rank Group, joins the hosts. They discuss David's appearance in a book and the excitement of being a character, something David and Fintan have both experienced, while Jon is merely a psychic dugong. The conversation then shifts to the need for gambling reforms in the UK and the urgency to implement them. They also explore the potential of sports betting in UK casinos and the role of the Betting and Gaming Council. The episode concludes with a discussion on the potential of event sports venues in the UK. The conversation covers various topics including paninis and sticker collections, favourite films and actors, arts and Bluey, neighbourhood connections, and a hypothetical question about Justin Fletcher and Jamiroquai [22:02 – 1:14:05].
