I
Editor’s letter
know I often talk here about what a good issue it is of the magazine, but have I ever led you astray with those words?
No, I don’t think so. With that in mind, the highlight for me this issue is our interview with a representative of Incredible Technologies, who explained their quite brilliant inno- vation where the slot player chooses the volatility of the machine. Check it out, it’s really something special – it’s on page 36. Also we have a look at the Italian VLT mar- ket, and the potential for Greece to open its doors in a similar way, on page 40, with an update on CMS prod- uct on 30, and a chat with up-and-coming testlab Enex on 28. Add to that the evergreen Sharon Harris on 10, Ricki bringing the goods from Latino America on 12 and a superb Macau Business interview on 20, and I think my praise for the issue and all of our contributors is vindicated…
