Bishop Woosley, former Director of the Arkansas Lottery, has opened a lottery and gaming consulting firm, Woosley Gaming Advisors.

As reported by Talk Business, the consultancy aims to provide advisory services to existing and emerging gaming, lottery vendors and North American lotteries.

Woosley spent eight years on the board of directors at the Arkansas Lottery where he also spent time working as the Procurement Director and Chief Legal Counsel before his directorship. 

A lottery industry Hall of Famer, Woosley was elected President of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries in September 2019 and served as Secretary of the Mega Millions Game Group Chair. 

Woosley Gaming Advisors has already gained clients in the industry, including companies in sports betting, in-lane print on receipt, courier services, risk transfer, convenience store, ticket pooling services, jackpot signage and video production sectors.

Woosley told Talk Business: “During my time at the Arkansas Lottery, I gained experience and skills that I feel will help my vendor clients position their products and solutions for the best results.

“My longstanding industry relationships will provide my clients access to decision-makers which is so important to vendors in this industry. I can also rely on my legal and procurement experience to help lotteries in the areas of procurement, security and contract negotiation.”
