www.casinointernational-online.com COMMENT Managing Editor: Jon Bruford Editor’s comment
It really feels different, now I’ve been relegated from the contents page into the news. I look around and nothing seems the same… So much change, yet so little. I mean, my location has changed, but I’m still talking out of my arse. Speaking of which, if you haven’t tuned in to my podcast yet, I’d appreciate you listening. The Bruford Files is a series of interviews with gaming industry fi gures, and we don’t always talk about work. We’ve had some titans on, including Roger Snow, Gavin Isaacs, Tom Nieman, and we have some good people lined up for future episodes. Self-publicity aside, the world is gradually starting to re-open and the future is looking decidedly brighter for those businesses that were able to hang in there. It’s not over yet, of course, but so many countries are doing great things with vaccination programs, it’s impossible not to feel optimistic. Personally, I have my doubts as to whether G2E will be an actual international event this year, but if I can get there, I’ll see you there. I think we’re all ready.

FEATURED PRODUCT: NOVOMATIC DYNAMIC Link
Meet the new boss
Amanda Vance recently took the reins at Synergy Blue; she took some time to answer our questions about her appointment and the future of this exciting company
An exciting multi-game mix comprised of fi ve titles and a 2-level Linked Progressive introduces fresh and dynamic gaming thrills on the casino fl oor. Flames of Glory, set in Ancient Rome; the Asian
theme Red Dream; the magical Snow Kingdom plus the fruit-style game titles Dazzling Stars and Stars Up each come with a distinct Expanding Reels Feature and the Golden Spins for maximum progressive wins. The dynamic reel layout of this set of titles
expands in reaction to certain symbol-triggered game events, activating extra reel positions or rows, respectively for the current spin, and thus increasing win lines and chances for the Golden Spins Progressive feature. Bold gameplay, enfl aming features and dynamic reels as well as attractive Progressive prizes are set to leverage excellent performance for each player position.

Casino International: What has been your path to Synergy Blue? How long have you been in gaming? Amanda Vance: In 2012 my tribe, the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, bought a majority share in Synergy Blue as a way to augment our investments. The tribe also runs Augustine Casino which opened in 2002, the Augustine Energy Commission (a three- megawatt solar fi eld on tribal land) and Temalpakh Farm, among other holdings. Our businesses are headquartered on our native land in the Coachella Valley, California. The goal of the casino, our fi rst modern-day business venture, was to create economic self-suffi ciency for our tribe as well as to generate meaningful long-term employment for the surrounding community. The tribe gainfully employs more than 400 team members with our casino, employees of the Augustine Gaming Commission, and others working in tribal endeavors.
