Global Gaming Business Magazine Launches

Posted on June 21, 2002

Global Gaming Business, a new international casino trade magazine, released its first issue for distribution at the Caribbean Gaming & Tourism Conference 2002 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Editor Roger Gros and Publisher Paul Dworin, with nearly 50 years of combined experience covering and serving the gaming industry, are the principals in Global Gaming Business, a publication that offers news, research and opinions. The website and an electronic daily newsletter will each launch during the summer. Global Gaming Business will also be involved in conferences and television and radio broadcasting.

The editorial features in the July 1 edition of Global Gaming Business cover a range of international gaming subjects. Writers review the state of gaming regulation in the Caribbean, the dramatic expansion of the French casino market, a synopsis of a recently imposed smoking ban in several Australian gaming venues, and a recap of California's hot tribal slots market. The issue also includes an exclusive interview with U.S. Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.).

"In addition to the excellent editorial content, we've been very fortunate to have received the advertising support of many of the leading suppliers in the gaming industry," says Dworin. "Our advertisers include the leaders in nearly every category of casino vendors."

Las Vegas-based Global Gaming Business will appear twice a month and will focus on the casino industry worldwide. The publication aims to be more timely than its competitors and also provide editorial content not found in any other gaming trade publication. Editor Roger Gros says one of the major goals of Global Gaming Business is to provide the industry with many different voices.

"We're very pleased to be able to offer some of the industry's most respected executives and experts, including American Gaming Association President Frank Fahrenkopf, Bear Stearns Senior Managing Director Jason Ader, Internet gaming expert Anthony Cabot, Michigan gaming attorney David Waddell, and many others," said Gross.
