Entertainment has increasingly become tech-based, even forced as such over the last couple of years, with existing and new tech to evolve further over 2022. The Deloitte Media Technology sheet details that video streaming will shift to being lifetime centric as opposed to subscriber count focussed and that NFTs are set to drive new models of customer engagement in entertainment. Still, one of the biggest entrants to the US economy is a long-standing one in Europe: online gambling. Since 2018, states have been permitted to create their own regulated spaces for online gambling, with Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania all welcoming online casino entertainment platforms. Now, platforms like the Betway Online Casino can be played in the US.

They feature live-streamed table games as well as the latest video slots, which have features far exceeding that of your classic one-armed bandits. Industry analysts like the iGaming Business Website say that New Jersey’s online casino revenue hit $133.2 million in December 2021, which the state then taxes at 14.25 percent to pump money into other projects and jobs. Of course, the US is also home to many of the largest international entertainment companies that dabble in the long-standing forms of the medium. Comcast Corp. is the biggest with a net income of $11.5 billion, but just behind is The Walt Disney Co. with its ever-expanding collection of properties, with both of them heavily relying on tech to enhance their products.
