I
t’s almost here – ICE 2018. And what does that mean? It means my column where I talk about how it’s almost here, is here. I genuinely look forward to ICE, not least this year because of our involvement in the British Casino Awards on the first evening of ICE. If you haven’t heard, it’s at the Hippodrome Casino in central London, and promises to be an excellent evening celebrating all that is great about the British casino industry. You can find out more at www.
britishcasinoawards.co.uk In other news, this issue boasts many ICE
previews from some of the industry’s finest suppliers, among a wealth of features and columns from around the world. Like ICE, we pride ourselves on being truly international, with coverage from our partners and writers in Asia, Latin America, North America and Africa. I hope you enjoy this issue. As ever, please email any feedback to
jonbruford@yahoo.co.uk Hope to see you at ICE! Jon Bruford, Managing Editor, Casino International
