From the CEO (#4)

Written by Andrew W Scott

It’s here! That exciting time that rolls around every four years. The countries of the world put aside petty squabbles about nuclear arms, terrorism and global financial doom and the real battle begins! It’s the stuff little (and not-so-little) boys daydream about: The World Cup. The world’s most watched sporting event – even bigger than the Olympics. South Africa 2010 is just days away, and of course, there is plenty of money won and lost on the games. It’s a huge time for sports betting.

We’ve even held the release of this special issue back to the last possible minute to have the latest, most up-to-date information we can. Our huge World Cup liftout tells you everything you need to know about the month-long carnival of football we are all about to enjoy. Rip it out and carry it around with you during the World Cup for instant expert status amongst your peeps!

World Gaming has more exciting news: now the gaming content you really want to read about is not just in Macau, but we’ve expanded to The Philippines too. Starting this issue, World Gaming magazine will be found in all 30 poker rooms in The Philippines and selected casinos and newsstands throughout the archipelago. Don’t be surprised to find us popping up in other Asian cities as the year progresses.

The World Cup is undoubtedly the main dish in this issue’s feast of gaming, but our smorgasbord also includes other fare of casino games, poker and lifestyle. Our craps article continues from last issue, we have our usual Mahjong column from Jenn and Puyo, and for those that like to relax we tell you all about the tranquil Altira Spa and Tacos restaurant, a little gem just a stone’s throw from MGM. And there’s much, much more…

Want to find an article from a back issue of World Gaming? Hit us up on the web internets thingy! www.worldgamingmag.com was always a bit of a mouthful so now you can also find us with the more succinct www.wgm8.com. That’s a saving of 10 keystrokes! Just image what you can do with the extra time. Easy to remember: WGM followed by everyone’s luckiest number. Go there and sign up for free website membership, go on, do it! Good things happen to people who do.

And keep an eye out for our next issue, it’ll be out before you know it, in late June…

Follow the dragon,
