The Nevada Gaming Commission convened on September 25, 2025, to discuss significant developments regarding Blueberry Gaming and its partnership with Catalyst Capital Group. The meeting featured key executives from both companies, including Blueberry's CEO Andrew Burke and Catalyst's Managing Partner Newton Glassman, who addressed previous concerns about responsiveness during the licensing process.
Burke and Glassman both issued apologies for delays in providing necessary documentation, attributing the issues to initial mismanagement of the licensing process. Glassman acknowledged that he had relied too heavily on others for information gathering, which led to the delays. He emphasized that once he became more directly involved, the responsiveness improved significantly. Burke echoed this sentiment, stating that the team has learned valuable lessons about the regulatory expectations in Nevada.
The meeting also highlighted Blueberry's growth trajectory, with Burke presenting the company’s expansion from 66 licenses to 194 jurisdictions, and a revenue increase of four times since 2020. He expressed pride in the company’s commitment to Nevada, noting that being licensed in the state is a significant milestone for both the company and its employees.
Commissioners expressed enthusiasm for Blueberry's contributions to the local economy, noting the company's commitment to community involvement and job creation. They also raised questions about the governance structure of Blueberry, particularly regarding its board composition and decision-making processes. Burke confirmed that the company currently has a single board member, Jim Riley, and acknowledged the need for a more robust governance structure as the company continues to grow.
The meeting concluded with a positive outlook for Blueberry's future in Nevada, with commissioners indicating their support for the company's licensing application. The discussions underscored the importance of compliance and responsiveness in the gaming industry, as well as the potential for Blueberry to become a significant player in the Nevada gaming market.
