Video Poker 24/7 - Gaming Expo Starts With a Bang

Video Poker 247 - Gaming Expo Starts With a Bang

This year’s American Gaming Association’s Global Gaming Expo started off with a bang – literally. The historic New Frontier Casino & Hotel was imploded to make way for another Las Vegas mega casino to come in. The overseas gaming group needed the space to start building their new casino, and that means that history has to go.

With cranes and construction seemingly everywhere you go in Las Vegas these days, it would seem that each time you come to play your favorite video poker game, etc. the city will be completely different from the last time that you were there. Buildings going up, buildings coming down, it is an ever changing landscape.

However, as a way to kick off the Global Gaming Expo, demolishing one casino to make way for another could not have seemed more perfect. The expo is a chance for people in the video poker and gambling industry to get together to see what kinds of goodies the industry has to show for itself this year. They are assured to see new technologies as well as old ones revamped.

In addition to getting to walk around and see the newest video poker or slot machine offerings, there are also lots of seminars that can be attended that give some insight into the industry. There is talk of what is coming, who is going, and where they all think that the UIGEA might be headed. But above all else, it is a chance to see where the video poker, etc. industry is taking us.
