The latest issue of SBC Leaders Magazine, number 20, is published this week with a roundtable on igaming innovation that delves into whether the industry has become accustomed to a certain way of thinking, or if there’s more room for developments.
With a brand new addition to the editorial format, keeping with the magazine’s remit to pursue news and developments in new markets, the magazine now also includes a dedicated Canada section.
Additionally, the new issue delves into the divide between online and land-based gaming, as BetMGM’s Vice President of Gaming, Matthew Sunderland, highlights how it can be bridged in a way that ‘both parties benefit’.
Joining SlotBeats in an episode of Beyond the Reels is Relax Gaming’s Chief Product Officer, Simon Hammon, who discussed the company’s CasinoBeats Game Developer Award-winning title, Money Train 2.
On Evoplay’s third-person shooter slot title, Star Guardians, the company’s CCO, Vladimir Malakchi, explains why he believes the game’s features have helped elevate player satisfaction and create new experiences.
Readers can also find an interview with Shelley White who shares her journey into the betting industry and how the Canada-based Responsible Gambling Council is taking the lead in establishing a collaborative approach to safer gambling standards.
The issue’s front cover and big interview, meanwhile, goes to Glitnor Group CEO David Flynn who looks back on his time in the online gaming sector, offering up some predictions on where the industry will be in 10 years’ time.
On the North American front, SBC Leaders talks to Yahoo Sports’ Joanna Lambert who unpacks the potential of the New York market. IGT’s President of Sports Betting, Joe Asher, asks if sports betting is the next big opportunity for tribal operators.
Heading to Latin America, Hero Gaming’s Thomas Carvalhaes assesses the as yet unlocked potential of the Brazil market in advance of hotly anticipated moves to formalise a regulated gambling framework.
The Netherlands has been chosen as the new kid on the block for Leaders’ sports betting segment. As the last few years have shown, it has been a bumpy ride for the Dutch gambling industry. Peter-Paul de Goeij, MD of the Netherlands Online Gambling Association, explains more about the inherent potential in the market but warns it’s not for the faint of heart.
Physical copies of SBC Leaders will hit the newsstands at next week’s SBC CasinoBeats Summit in Malta and the magazine can be viewed online HERE.
