INTERVIEW PART II The second part of our interview with Interblock’s Global CEO
Editor’s comment
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, G2E. It’s been so long! Just a year? It feels longer! You look great; I swear you look younger every year. The industry descends like a biblical plague on our spiritual home once again for the best part of a week’s worth of expo madness. What am I expecting? Sore feet, of course. Plus great product, fantastic people, and good times. One of the must-attend events will of course be the
pre-G2E meet and greet hosted by IAGA at the Wynn. It’s worth mentioning too that they are Casino International’s partners alongside the University of Nevada Las Vegas in our free-to-attend webinar series, details of which you can find on our website or by emailing me at the address below. It’s completely free of charge and our chance to share best practice with this vibrant and exciting industry. Oh, and don’t forget if you’re UK-based, the British
Casino Awards nominations have now opened at
www.britishcasinoawards.co.uk. Did I miss anything? Enjoy the issue.
