GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: George Papanier, President & Chief Executive Officer, and Phil Juliano, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Twin River Management Group

Twin River Management Group got its start in a little casino in Rhode Island and today is growing into one of the largest regional operators in gaming. The recent purchase of Caesars Entertainment by Eldorado Resorts was something of a catalyst for the growth of the company. Twin River was able to buy several properties in different areas of the company at bargain prices to lessen the market share of a Caesars-Eldorado entity. CEO George Papanier and senior marketing VP Phil Juliano explain how the company plans to capitalize on these new properties, including Bally’s Atlantic City, which they bought on the cheap at just $25 million. They spoke with GGB Editor Frank Legato over the phone in July.
