s I wait anxiously for a copy of Battlefield 3 to be delivered for my X Box, elsewhere in the world the focus is also truly on
gaming. Gaming and gambling have always tended to live in separate houses but more and more they are sneaking out the back and partying over the fence. The graphics, the roleplay, the fun – all are needed in both genres so just as gambling drifted effortlessly into social media so gaming and gambling will inevitably converge - that is an issue we will be covering increasingly in the future.
On the subject of platforms we are pleased to announce the launch of the Casino Life App – which is much more than just a “magazine on an iPad”. Subscribers get full access to an exclusive portal of casino industry information sourced, researched and harvested by a dedicated team of journalists - see our advert on page 4. The App is free – just go to iTunes or the App store to download it to your iPad and away you go.
We are still publishing a hard copy of the magazine and its quality will remain the same - although it will become more frequent and have more pages as we publish more interviews with key operators and attract more advertisers who want to reach their customers.
We are pleased to announce that Casino Life will be the International media partner of the European Casino Association Slot Summits throughout 2012. The first casino operator-only event is planned for Hanover in Germany March 13-15 with Panama following in July and France in September. The events give us unprecedented access to casino managers, slot and marketing staff whilst supporting the sponsors who include Ainsworth (UK), Austrian Gaming Industries, Bally Technologies, D-Systems, EGT, Gaming Support, IGT, Inspired Gaming Group, Spielo International and the Slot Academy.
As the International media partner we will be marketing and promoting the events through numerous channels – from traditional print to social media - and we hope to meet some of you at the Summits throughout 2012.
Finally, I welcome James Rutherford and Floyd Sembler to our team as renowned and respected professionals in the casino industry.
