www.casinointernational-online.com CONTENTS Editor’s comment
I’m writing this with a week to go before I charge up everything I own and jump on the plane to Las Vegas. It’s been great to see everything coming in for our G2E previews in the last couple of issues, but I’m more excited to see everything ‘in action’ once we fi nally push through the doors of The Venetian Expo and christen our show shoes on the no doubt appalling carpet design these expo fl oors always seem to have.
I have a horrible feeling when we all return from G2E every shop window will have fake snow on it and Christmas will be in full swing (it’s always weird to see Santa toys sat next to pumpkins – I wonder if we’ll ever get Halloween, Christmas AND Easter sold to us in the same month? I reckon it’ll happen by 2028 for the record).
If I could urge you in any direction this issue, I’d send you off to Page 36 where you’ll fi nd the latest from Better Change’s Founder Victoria Reed, as she picks apart self-exclusion. I’m a cynical git, so I often fi nd the ‘responsible’ options offered by gambling companies are only there so the company in question can say “Look - we’re trying to help, honest” when deep down all they really want is as many players to play for as long as possible regardless of their success or failure (see: I told you I was cynical). Victoria examines exactly what self-exclusion is, and well as highlighting the benefi ts, limitations and effectiveness of the initiative.
Other than that, I hope I’ll either see you in Vegas or have already seen you in Vegas and you’re now safely back home struggling with jet lag. I hope you have/had a great show, and can get some sleep.
Enjoy the issue.
