T Editor’s letter


his issue we welcome former Executive Director of the European Casino Association Glenn Cezanne


with his new column EU Bytes, sift- ing through the wehat and chaff of the many directives wheeling around the EU that may affect gaming. It’s well worth a read and we look forward to sharing Glenn’s news for many issues to come. Elsewhere in the issue, we have a lovely interview with


Caesars EMEA head about their approach to responsi- ble gaming, a wonderful piece in conversation with the remarkable Joanne Iverson where we learn about the influence she has had on the world of women’s rowing, even to the extent of being a driving force behind its emergence as an Olympic sport in the 1976 Games – and being the U.S. womens’ team’s first manager. I think it’s a damn fine issue, and I’m delighted to


give a look at the life of one of gaming’s pioneering women and one of our great characters in Joanne. Enough of my burble. Enjoy the issue.
