Brett Abarbanel is the top dog at UNLV’s International Gaming Institute, succeeding Bo Bernhard.

Boasting almost twenty years in game operations, ethical gaming practices, public outreach, and the chronicle of gaming, he’s poised to elevate IGI to unprecedented levels. He’s especially enthusiastic about partnering with colleges, government bodies, charitable organizations, and industry giants to expand upon IGI’s already distinguished standing.
