I have
just returned from the Global Gaming Congress and Expo, know as G2E, which is
the gaming convention held each year in Las
Vegas. At this convention, which is not open to
the public, the casino equipment manufacturers showcase all of their exciting
new products, and slots. There were many new and great casino slots shown this
year, and I will write more about them in upcomning columns. In the meantime,
log on to my show “Great Casino Slots” at www.YouTube.com/LasVegasLiveTV
and you can see episodes of some of them. New episodes will be added soon.
Check out also my Casino Insider News pages, Gaming Insider pages, and Casino
Insider Videos pages.
