“I have been reading Gaming Industry Observer since its inception because it is insightful, unbiased and provides a fresh perspective on the emerging trends in our industry. Gaming Industry Observer tells me what I need to know, not necessarily what I want to hear. I find that kind of honesty both useful and refreshing.”
-- Tim Wilmott, President & COO, Penn National Gaming
