Many of you in the industry are well acquainted with my son, Adam Daniel . In recent months Adam has relocated to the Mediterranean island nation of Malta where he's joined the team of Chartwell Technology Inc. Chartwell is a leading developer and supplier of Internet gaming software systems to the online and mobile gaming industry with over 130 employees based in Calgary, Vancouver, London and Malta.

I certainly find Glyn Thomas’s, conscientiously conceived Casino Life Magazine deserving of a thorough peruse and a hearty heads-up. Small on bells & whistles, big on birds and content! I sincerely hope that Glyn’s mission statement stays-the-path and look forward to enjoying each edition with much anticipation. Congratulations on your recent relocation to Kiev Glyn!

Due to unmitigated, browbeating verbosity and the not so subtle insinuation, that either the Kray’s, Richardson’s, or even worse, the notorious Kemp Brothers of Spandeu Ballet will knock on my door in dead of night, I have relented, seen the light so to speak, and included this link to the “widely acclaimed”—to quote Steve Hand’s own inimitable, self-effacing words,  Scarab Casino Management web site.

For an in-depth, through the looking-glass view into the future of single-zero roulette, access CTL's—The Science of Winning— iWheel. No one individual has contributed more innovation and dedicated hard work to the evolution of contemporary roulette design, engineering and information technology than CTL Director and friend, Mr. Anton Churchill. "Phooey on those naithsayers who say you can't reinvent the wheel" 

Fat Tony Burch:  "Witty and irreverent ...Burch is an entertaining, well read scold in a culture that could use a good scolding." 

For anyone (gaming or otherwise) requiring comprehensive surveillance system consultation, installation, upgrades or service contact Mr. Tom Hutchison of Hi-Tek Security Systems. Tommy understands the practical and unique requirements of casino operators having worked his way up through the ranks of gaming operations in Scotland and the Bahamas prior to establishing his own company.  Hi-Tek’s new Plantation, Florida headquarters is well situated to provide full service surveillance solutions to the industry both on land and sea.

International Casino Services of Adelaide, Australia:

This is the innovative group of gaming management consultants / technicians who blazed the South East Asia, Melanesia, Western Pacific gaming trail beginning back in 1989. My own years spent with ICS proved to be some of the most interesting, productive and creative of my career.

Mr. Andrew Macdonald’s Urbino site is probably the most technically informative casino management resource on the Internet. This long running web site provides comprehensive executive tools, analyzers and what Andrew succinctly refers to as Bright Ideas. His focused articles and user-friendly access to gaming stock quotes is invaluable to anyone working in, observing or contemplating a move into Australasian, Macau or the soon to be Singapore casino industry. Don’t even consider a foray into the inscrutable world of S. E. Asia casino gaming without first a cursory examination of differential table limits, non-negotiable chip-rolling, and junket commissions.

Who can fault the continued relevance of Ian Sutton’s enduring, Gamingfloor.com, the long standing portal to comprehensive casino industry news, opinion and peer contact; certainly not I.

Searching for that Mediterranean bolt-hole to rusticate and ruminate after years of toil in the pits? Then let me introduce to you an old friend and colleague, Mr. Simon Smart. I was privileged to work with Simon——the quintessential cage professional——on various projects ranging from the ports of South Texas to the streets of Sarajevo. In recent years Simon has gone on to found Bristol based TGA – Casino and Hotel Management and TGA Telecom in the U. K., as well as his numerous real estate endeavors in Western Turkey. If Turkey were to once again legalize casino gaming we’ll probably all be lining up at Simon’s door. Nice thought…

Even the most intrepid of you casino reprobates must sooner or later lay your loaf down for a bit of kip. Before the inevitable approaches go visit the infamous cruise ship craps dealer/casino manager turned futon impresario of Fort Lauderdale, Mr. Paul “Tucci” Martucci and his lovely wife Karen (the power behind His Mancunian Majesty) at their plush emporium: The Futon Company, located on the North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale.

With sincere regards to all old friends and colleagues,
