IGAMING INSIGHT The latest iGaming news and features
from the irresistible Matt Broughton I
t’s a fine, fine issue of Casino International you hold in your hands/have on your digital device. This month we feature
an interview with Elo’s Mike Sigona who tells us about the company’s new line of PCAP touchscreens. The company may be about to change the face of slots as we know it with the result of investment into their Chinese man- ufacturing plant. Elsewhere, we look at some of the premier companies in the field of casino seating, and also talk to Blaine Graboyes, the man behind GameCo and their refresh- ing look at skill gaming for casinos. GameCo is develop- ing arcade-style titles and machines for use in casinos, and they look fantastic. Well worth a read. And let’s not forget Matt Broughton’s iGaming sec- tion, 14 pages of wonderfulness.
Enjoy the issue! Feedback, as ever, to… Jon Bruford, Managing Editor
