The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) is the only organisation of US state lawmakers that meets regularly to discuss gaming. Its members chair or sit on the legislative committees that oversee gaming in their states, and the council states that it neither promotes nor opposes gaming but concentrates on how the industry is regulated. The NCLGS Summer Meeting 2027 is scheduled for 14 to 17 July 2027 at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, 900 Packer Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. NCLGS holds a Summer and a Winter Meeting each year; recent meetings have combined general sessions with committee sessions on lotteries, pari-mutuels, casinos, responsible gaming, sports betting and emerging forms of gaming, alongside keynote luncheons and networking receptions. Attendees are typically state legislators, regulators, tribal and other government officials, and gaming operators, suppliers and advisers. Non-legislative government officials are invited at a discounted Government rate, and legislators from Contributing Member States can apply for scholarships covering registration and travel. At the time of capture the 2027 edition page listed only dates and venue; agenda, speakers, sponsors and registration had not been published.

NCLGS elected Georgia State Representative Al Williams as its president, succeeding West Virginia Delegate Shawn Fluharty. Williams, who represents Georgia House District 168, had served as President-Elect.
It runs from 14 to 17 July 2027 at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, 900 Packer Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148.
