GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Lawrence Vaughan, Chief Operating Officer, South Point Poker

This week, the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Lawrence Vaughan, the chief operating officer for South Point Poker, the newest entrant into the online poker field in Nevada, just days after it launched.

The online poker market in Nevada expanded recently when Michael Gaughan’s South Point casino entered the market with Real Gaming, the third online poker room to go live in the state. Lawrence Vaughan, the chief operating officer for South Point Poker, talks about what it took to get the system up and running and why South Point decided to opt to build their own system rather than partnering with an existing iGaming operator. He talks about the Nevada market and some of the strategies Real Gaming is going to employ to bring players to the site, and how the legendary South Point customer service will extend to the online gaming field. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the South Point offices in Las Vegas in March.
