U.S. gaming is no longer a niche industry; it is a major economic force. Commercial gaming revenue reached $66.66 billion in 2023, the highest ever recorded, and tribal gaming continues to contribute billions more, sustaining economies across many regions. This rapid expansion has intensified the workload for state and tribal regulators who must manage licensing, suitability reviews, background checks, compliance monitoring, and enforcement actions at unprecedented scale.
This is exactly where CaseXellence, Speridian’s intelligent low-code Case Management Platform, becomes essential. Purpose-built for public-sector and tribal regulators, CaseXellence provides the modern infrastructure needed to handle complex regulatory operations with speed, accuracy, and confidence. It also offers an ideal foundation for implementing Agentic Process Automation (APA), helping agencies streamline, transform, and engage across every step of the licensing lifecycle.

When Gaming License Management Runs on Legacy Processes
Despite rapid industry expansion, many regulatory agencies still operate with paper-driven submissions, siloed databases, and manual verification processes. These outdated environments create three persistent challenges:
- Slow, manual licensing cycles that delay approvals and strain administrative capacity.
- Fragmented investigative data spread across background checks, financial disclosures, and enforcement records, making it difficult to assess risk holistically.
- Limited transparency and auditability, which oversight bodies frequently cite when evaluating regulatory system effectiveness and internal controls.
These challenges become even more significant as new gaming segments, fantasy sports, esports, skill-based gaming, and mobile wagering, continue to grow across jurisdictions. At the same time, AML expectations for casinos and related gaming entities continue to evolve, increasing the need for accurate, timely, and technology-supported oversight. Regulators need more than basic workflow automation. They need systems capable of behaving “agentically”, routing work intelligently, elevating risks automatically, and supporting complex enforcement decisions in real time.
How Agentic Process Automation Elevates Gaming Oversight
Agentic Process Automation (APA) enhances regulatory operations by combining AI, rules engines, and event-driven workflows. This allows the creation of semi-autonomous “digital agents” that can:
- Pre-triage applications by type, jurisdiction, and risk profile
- Verify documentation completeness and flag inconsistencies
- Detect potential fraud or risk using predictive and pattern-based analysis
- Automatically trigger investigative tasks, hearings, and compliance actions
- Maintain a complete, audit-ready trail of all licensing activity
When applied to Gaming License Management, APA helps regulators reduce manual workload, strengthen compliance, accelerate decisions, and collaborate more efficiently with operators and vendors.
