Gaming Industry Observer Renews Support for Global Gaming Expo
Leading Newsletter an Official Show Publication for Fourth Year

Norwalk, CT, April 12, 2004—Global Gaming Expo (G2E) announced today that Michael Pollock’s Gaming Industry Observer has again signed on with the trade show and conference as an official G2E publication. 

Published in Atlantic City, NJ, Gaming Industry Observer tracks and analyzes trends that impact the gaming industry. Global Gaming Expo (G2E) is scheduled for Oct. 5-7, 2004 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with the G2E Training & Development Institute being held Oct. 4.

Read by casino managers, suppliers, attorneys, regulators, financial analysts and other industry influentials, Gaming Industry Observer tracks and interprets gaming industry trends, analyzes new gaming technologies, and studies the implications of pending industry regulations. In the past six years, the publication has won three national awards from the Newsletter Publishers Foundation.

"Gaming Industry Observer has been a strong supporter of G2E since it was founded as the premier event on the gaming calendar, and that support grows stronger every year, as G2E gets better every year," said Publisher Michael Pollock.   

“The support of Gaming Industry Observer helps us reach the senior industry professionals who attend—or should attend—our show,” said AGA President and CEO Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., organizer of G2E in conjunction with Reed Exhibitions. “In addition to sales and networking opportunities, G2E gives attendees insight into gaming industry operations and trends, which is an objective we share with Mike Pollock’s publication.”
