The club, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, earned promotion to League One having only been promoted from non-league last year.

Okonkwo stood out as a reliable presence between the sticks and kept 14 clean sheets in 36 appearances for the Red Dragons.

He also conceded just 30 goals in the league.

His performances saw him win League Two goalkeeper of the season.

Despite this, he has not been offered a contract extension by The Gunners and will leave the club as a free agent.

One Arsenal fan on X wrote: "Would have liked it if we managed to get some money from his outgoing from the club but hey it is what it is. Best of luck Arthur."

Another wrote: "Sensational goalkeeper.. He will definitely be a starter for any club that sign him."

While a third said: "He's served the club well, Good luck to him."

"But I will, very soon. It is about looking at all my opportunities and seeing which is the best for me.

"I've loved it at Wrexham and they will stay in my heart forever. It's more of a waiting game now and seeing what is the right move for myself."

He added: "I went to say my goodbyes at Arsenal the other day. That was tough, knowing I won't be there any more. I'd been there so long. But it does feel like the right time. The club is doing so well.

Gaming industry leaders tackle trends, challenges and the future

Top gaming industry leaders and stakeholders gathered in April for the 27th Annual East Coast Gaming Congress – a leading conference to discuss top issues facing the sector.

"This conference was founded in 1996 on a singular, timeless premise: We want speakers and attendees who can face gaming's future with knowledge and insight," ECGC co-founders Lloyd Levenson and Michael Pollock wrote in their welcome note. "For 27 years, we have scrupulously adhered to that goal, which is one reason why the East Coast Gaming Congress is now the longest-running gaming conference in the United States."

The annual two-day event, held at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on April 17-18, featured an exhibit hall; networking opportunities; panel discussions with gaming leaders; keynote addresses from 11 major industry CEOs; a keynote lunch address from Attorney General Matthew Platkin; the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to David Rebuck, former director of the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement; honoring the legacy of the late H. Steven Norton, a founder of the modern gaming industry; and more.

The panel discussion topics included:

Competitive-Climate Change: Gaming Heats Up in Eastern US

Gaming and Technology: Friends, Foes, or Both?

iGaming, iLottery, Lottery Courier: Finding Cooperation Amidst Competition

Responsible Gaming: Whose Responsibility?

Betting on Gaming: Where are Investors Looking?

During his remarks, James Plousis, New Jersey Casino Control Commission chairman, offered his perspective on the state of the gaming industry in Atlantic City and in the Garden State. "There's no question Atlantic City has some challenges – but we're stable and headed in the right direction," Plousis said, citing key stats such as gambling, internet gaming and sports wagering revenue, as well as occupancy rates.

He also stressed the importance of the redevelopment projects going on around the city. "Everybody is reinvesting – in new restaurants, upgrading rooms and suites, new convention areas, in arcade areas for children," said Plousis. "So, we are really investing in Atlantic City. And, truly, what we have going for us – is we have nine destinations. We have nine unique properties that people want to see."

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. welcomed the conference to the city once again. He addressed attendees just days after an explosive story broke – charges alleging that he and his wife, La'Quetta, superintendent of the city's public schools, physically and emotionally abused their teenage daughter. The couple maintains their innocence.

"I just want to say this – ladies and gentlemen. We've all seen news accounts of what's going on with myself, personally. And it's just that – personal," said Small. "But I pledge to each and every one of you – it doesn't change my commitment, number one to my family. And it doesn't change my commitment here in the Great City of Atlantic City."

Small said that the rumors of the demise of Atlantic City and its casino industry continue to be greatly exaggerated. "Again, my commitment is to the people of Atlantic City, the business and its partners," said Small. "And as I said on this stage in February 2024 – ain't no stopping us now."

He would tell reporters after his speech that momentum is at an all-time high in Atlantic City – and that should be the focus. "As my attorney stated, it has nothing to do with my job," said Small. "We are putting the city in prime position to win – and that's my focus each and every day. Things can be a distraction – but it's important not to be distracted."

Honoring DGE's longest-serving director

During lunch, Rebuck, who stepped down recently after serving 13 years as DGE director, reflected on his career while offering a look at the industry's future. The longest-serving director in DGE's history, Rebuck's work also includes 36 years of service to the state.

"This award is about much more than longevity," said Levenson as he presented Rebuck with the Lifetime Achievement Award. "His tenure was marked by extraordinary challenges that he met through a combination of leadership, vision and effort. He did not just implement sports betting and iGaming in record time – but he also created a template that other states could and should implement. Dave achieved that which was once nearly impossible. Under his leadership, the Division developed clear rules for implementing digital gaming while maintaining exacting standards for integrity. And in doing so, he earned the gratitude of the industry he regulated – and became a mentor to regulatory colleagues around the world."

Rebuck said the recognition was an acknowledgement of the dedicated effort by many others on his team throughout his storied career. "First and foremost, I remain very positive on the future for gaming success in New Jersey," said Rebuck.

But he said that is only possible if stakeholders remain focused on supporting both the Atlantic City market and the state's effort to add new gaming opportunities to its existing retail offerings. He noted that the gaming environment is a much different one, given the increasing regional competition in areas like Pennsylvania and New York – along with the rise of internet gaming and sports betting. Because of that increased competition, he stressed the importance of maintaining focus.

"And even with all of this competition – in all different forms of gambling as well as casino gambling," Rebuck said. "This industry in Atlantic City is stable today."

Rebuck credited the recent leadership of Govs. Phil Murphy and Chris Christie, along with legislative leadership, for supporting the competitive needs of the gaming industry and focusing on Atlantic City's economic development.

The former DGE director continued – reflecting on different parts of career, such as the implementation of internet gaming and sports betting, which he oversaw and New Jersey pioneered.

On responsible gaming, Rebuck believes that the state's public health officials must establish the right enhancements to existing services to meet the growing number of addicted, vulnerable gamblers – and not wait on the federal government or other states.

"We need to take the lead," Rebuck stressed.

He closed by noting that this industry is never dull and by expressing his confidence in the leaders gathered in AC that they would be able to continue solving the challenges and pushing the gaming industry forward in Atlantic City and New Jersey.

An 'important gathering' for NJ

Rebuck was followed at lunch by Platkin, who spoke glowingly about his former colleague and acknowledged how much he leaned on his expertise – as well as how much his presence is missed at DGE. "We've really benefited. You've all benefited. This city has benefited," said Platkin. "The state has benefited from Dave's leadership. We miss him. And I just want to give him one more round of applause. And I also have to thank Mary Jo Flaherty who has been named interim director. Mary Jo has more than 40 years of experience in the Division. And I'm just really grateful to her for stepping up in Dave's retirement." During the East Coast Gaming Congress, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin emphasized efforts the state is overseeing to encourage responsible gaming. – MATTHEW FAZELPOOR/NJBIZ

Platkin, who also spoke last year at the event, said he was honored to be back. "This is one of my favorite places in the world to come," said Platkin. "And I would argue no one has done more for this city and this region than you, Lloyd [Levenson]. And this conference is a testament to that. This is the second year in a row that I've been here – because of how important this gathering is to our state."

The attorney general emphasized how much the gaming industry has evolved over the last few decades. That evolution has accelerated over the last few years through technology and new offerings. "Today's gamblers can carry with them the glitz and glamour of Atlantic City non-stop, 24 hours a day," he said. "And of course with the expansion of internet gaming and the proliferation of smart phones, New Jersey residents can reach out and get a piece of the action anytime, anyplace — as long as they are in the state. That accessibility has without question been a boon to the industry. It has helped grow and been an economic engine for the state. But it's also come with consequences and risks.

"Indeed, for many – for too many, frankly – the temptation of gambling anytime, anyplace can be overwhelming and it can be all-consuming," said Platkin.

He pointed to a recent troubling study that found the rate of problematic gambling here in New Jersey rose to nearly 6%, nearly three times the national average, and that nearly 20% of problematic gamers are under the age of 24.

Platkin said that's why it's critical to recognize problem gambling and embrace responsible gambling. He noted that these are not just buzz words. "We're talking about a real problem that affects real people," he said. "It's true that the vast majority of consumers who engage in gambling can do recreationally as a form of entertainment. But for those who find themselves developing an unhealthy relationship with gambling – the impact is significant. Problematic gamblers often bet more than they can afford to lose. They feel like they need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same feeling of excitement."

Problematic gambling often includes chasing money following a loss – and can lead to borrowing money or selling possessions to fuel a gambling addiction. "All of this contributes to myriad financial problems for them, for their loved ones, for their households," said Platkin. "And it can also cause significant health problems, including stress and anxiety."

Platkin ticked off some of the efforts the state is overseeing and resources it's offering to address this issue. He also called on industry leaders to do their part to combat problem gambling through the Responsible Gaming Initiative that Rebuck spearheaded.

"And I also want to commend the industry. There are a lot of times as regulators – where you're pushing and pulling. And the industry, I think, by-and-large has recognized that this is not a problem that they want to fuel," said Platkin. "I think we have more to do. But I do want to commend you for your partnership in this effort. And, frankly, this effort – this work – that we are doing together has made New Jersey a national leader on responsible gaming."

And, frankly, this effort – this work – that we are doing together has made New Jersey a national leader on responsible gaming.– Attorney General Matthew Platkin

Platkin stressed that this is important work. "And as Dave said – it's work that must continue," he added. "So let me clear – we certainly expect you to pay attention to your responsible gaming issues. When your data reflects new ways of identifying problem gambling activities, we want to hear from you. Share that feedback with us. It can make us be more effective. And, most important, it can help us save lives. The trend lines here are clear. More and more consumers are signing up for your products every day – and that requires increased vigilance on the regulators' part and on the industry's part."

Platkin also hit on the aggressive marketing of sports betting and the prevalence of it in mainstream sports and on television and social media – something the attorney general described as unthinkable a decade ago. "Clearly, this is business – and beating the competition requires aggressive marketing efforts. I understand that. I'm not naïve to your motivations as leaders in the industry," he said. "And I know that competition has intensified, particularly in sports betting. But I urge you to be mindful of your audience – to avoid advertising in mediums where the primary demographic is our youngest residents. To try to avoid using images and likenesses or themes that target an underage demographic; that you educate your staff and your marketing affiliates on these requirements."

He also noted that Generation Z is the first generation to have a casino and sportsbook in their pocket that is ready and open for business as soon as they turn 21. "We need, collectively, to teach that generation about responsible gaming," Platkin stressed. "As you consider your business model and your efforts regarding responsible gaming, I challenge you to consider what you are already doing and what other steps you can take to help your consumers."

By continuing to take tangible, proactive steps – Platkin said New Jersey can remain at forefront of the gaming world. "I commit to you that the State of New Jersey, my office, the Division of Gaming Enforcement will continue to be partners in this effort," said Platkin. "We'll continue to lead the nation in ensuring that we have the best gambling environment in the country. I would argue the best city where you can go to have a good time and place a bet – in the country. But also, one that is safest for our residents – particularly our youngest residents. And that when somebody is in need of help, we put our tools and processes in place to help them."

Still, these talented women have not only been making their mark in the film and television industry but are also pushing the boundaries and redefining the norms.

The 10 women in the following list are known for their undeniable skill, but beyond acting, they are also insistent upon making room for other Black aspiring actors and advocating for them whenever they can. Here's a look into some of the remarkable young Black actresses under 35 who are taking the entertainment world by storm.

Dominique Thorne is a promising actress from New York City born on November 5, 1997. She is beginning her career in acting with less than five released projects to her name.

Her most notable character so far has been the role of Riri Williams in Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Thorne became a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with her brilliant and charismatic character. She is set to reprise her role as Riri in the upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart, as well as a new Avengers movie set to release in 2027.

Thorne's casting as Riri Williams not only signifies her talent but also a chance to see more representation for Black fans of this massive franchise. Her character is a great mix of unapologetically being herself while not falling prey to the typical trope written for Black characters. Riri is a young, Black superhero character who is relatable to many other Black teens, but is also a genius inventor.

Bailey was met with a polarized mix of support when it was announced she would take on the role of Ariel. Many made racist comments about the color of her skin. Despite this commotion, she showed that she embodies what it means to be a princess on and off screen, and aimed to uplift little, Black girls watching her in the process.

Only 19 people have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony — the hard-to-achieve, highly coveted EGOT.

But more than 60 performers are just one win away from joining the EGOT ranks, which includes the likes of Richard Rodgers, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Brooks.

Cher, Kate Winslet, Common, Helen Mirren, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Dick Van Dyke, Lily Tomlin and Julie Andrews are also among the actors and musicians who need only one award to have an EGOT.

Read on to see the list of performers who have won three of the four honors that make up an EGOT.

Adele

The singer took home an Emmy in 2022 for her variety special Adele One Night Only. The trophy joined her Oscar for "Skyfall" from the 2012 James Bond film of the same name, and her 16 Grammy Awards, including two for album of the year (21 in 2012 and 25 in 2017). She only needs a Tony to complete her EGOT.

Anderson-Lopez's path to near-EGOT is one structured by the success of her hit movie-turned-musical Frozen. The songwriter co-wrote music for the 2013 animated film, its 2019 sequel and the 2017 stage musical adaptation with her husband, Robert Lopez (who is himself an EGOT). As a result, she won an Oscar ("Let It Go") and two Grammys ("Let It Go" and best compilation soundtrack) for the work. She also won a second Oscar for "Remember Me" from Coco and an Emmy for "Agatha All Along" from WandaVision. She was nominated for a Tony in 2018 for Frozen, but lost to The Band's Visit.

The actress needs to win a Tony Award to qualify as an EGOT recipient. She won an Oscar in 1965 for best actress as the titular role in Mary Poppins. Andrews has won three Grammy Awards.
