Legal-Industry Advisor
Advisor to casino operators from the Dunes, Sands, and Riviera era through four decades of C-Suite and board engagements across America, Europe, and Asia.
Experienced Gaming Industry Advisor
Advisor, board consigliera, regulator, lecturer — and a customer at the table. Multidimensional knowledge of the gaming industry, since the late 1960s.
Wendeen H. Eolis has advised clients in the gaming industry since the late 1960s — initially as a legal-talent advisor to the Dunes Hotel, the Sands, and the Riviera in Las Vegas, then as a legal head-hunter for Caesars in the early 1970s.
At Caesars, she advised the Board of Directors on legal talent and outside-counsel costs. That engagement led to introductions and assignments for casino C-Suites and boards across America, Europe, and Asia over the next four decades.
As a New York State government official, her portfolio included commercial and tribal gaming issues. She has prepared white papers for law firms advising federal and international agencies.
And — she was a customer first. Counting cards expertly at blackjack tables before taking down pots at poker tables against the very best players in the world.

Policy Posture
What Wendeen supports.
Licensed, taxed, regulated gaming
Gaming companies operate best when they are properly licensed, fairly taxed, and meaningfully regulated.
Integrity of the games
Suitable protocols protect the games themselves — at brick-and-mortar tables, online, and across emerging formats.
Minors excluded
Effective controls keep minors out of the gaming environment. Non-negotiable.
Responsible play
Active programs discourage addiction and encourage responsible gaming — table-stakes, not afterthought.
