GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Rich Emery, President, Thalden Boyd Emery Architects.

This week, the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Rich Emery, the president of Thalden Boyd Emery Architects, on the approach his firm takes when designing casinos for tribal and commercial clients.

Casino design is a very competitive field. The desires of the owners of the casinos often are often at odds with market research and design principles. The experts at Thalden Boyd Emery Architects have completed dozens of projects that have both satisfied the owners and produced profitable and efficient buildings. Richard Emery is president of the firm, who has spent the past 32 years designing hotels and casinos in gaming markets throughout North American and overseas. He understands not only the elements of casino design, but the need to evaluate the market and to create a product that appeals to those markets. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
