They address federal legislative and regulatory issues affecting its members and their employees and customers, such as federal taxation, regulatory issues, and travel and tourism matters.
The AGA also attempts to serve as the gaming industry's information clearinghouse, providing the public, the media and decision makers timely, accurate gaming industry data.
AGA members include major casino operators, financial and professional service companies, suppliers of gaming products, as well as representatives of state or regional gaming associations.
Each year the AGA sponsors a major gaming trade show, the Global Gaming Expo.
