www.casinointernational-online.com Editor’s comment
London in February; what could be better? Oh, yes. Somewhere warmer, drier… But would ICE be the same if it were any other time of year and in any other city? Let’s not find out. Highlights of this issue include a superb article on problem gambling from Barnaby Page, plus a cracking interview with Johnny Ortiz and Sebastian Salat of Zitro along with our regular contributors. Possibly most exciting though, is Matt Broughton’s CIO section, undergoing a renaissance under his most excellent editorship and becoming an even more invaluable part of Casino International. Did I miss anything? Enjoy the issue.
