GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Blaine Graboyes, CEO, GameCo

The rise of skill games in the casino industry has been accelerating. As the second and third generations of the games hit the floor, research has shown that they are doing exactly what was expected: increase play from younger customers. Blaine Graboyes is the CEO of GameCo, one of the leading skill game companies. He explains the challenges that he has overcome in placing the games on casino floors, the reluctance of slot executives to experiment and the reaction of players. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October of last year.
