What do you enjoy most about being in the casino and gaming industry?
For me, it's a fact that everything is really fast-paced and there's always something exciting going on. So even when I was working at MGM Resorts, I was kind of in the heart of the action.
I got to bring entertainment to the masses in terms of casino events and any other sports events that are going on. At IGT, we provide slot machines for, I believe, 99% to 100% of all the casinos across the world. We are able to bring entertainment to the masses that way as well.
One of the other exciting parts is that we do get to work with some really large licensing brands like Wheel of Fortune, movies like Goonies, Sex in the City. These are things you wouldn't really think of working at a slot manufacturing company, but you still get a lot of really great exposure.
