No matter where you’re from in the world you can’t help but be in awe regarding what Michael Phelps has done in the Olympics. I managed to catch a few of the races and it was quite exhilarating. While I like this blog to revolve around casino business I thought it was a worthwhile mention! What do you think?
It’s been a fairly hectic week for me in my new position. A few more people have been in touch with me via email or on Facebook and I am trying to slowly build a relationship with each and every one of them. It’s really important for me to hear feedback firsthand from people who are playing in our casinos and involved in this industry.
I am still doing some PR work but thankfully there is a great staff here to back me up. I am going to try and enjoy a nice relaxing weekend!
Although I am not officially supposed to announce this yet I just can’t contain myself! Right before the weekend I was notified by the management of the Jackpot Factory Casino Group that I would be getting an upgrade to my position. Starting this week I am going to become the Vice President of Player Affairs!
So what exactly does this mean? A large part of my job as the spokesman has been dealing with individual issues that players bring up either with support or casino management. I have always been a believer in doing everything and anything to help the customer. Well it was finally decided this would become an official position with the organization. I’ll still be involved on the PR side and retain the title of spokesman but I will concentrate a lot of my efforts on helping provide the best all around player experience any casino has to offer.
If you have specific issues you’d like me to look into or think are important please bring them up! The official announcement will come in a few days….
A few days ago I got a friend invitation for someone who has been playing at our casino’s for over 2 years! It was really exciting to “meet” this person out of the usual casino environment plus hear some feedback from them. This luck player actually was a winner in one of our big monthly promotions a few years ago and walked away with $2,000!
So once again, if you’re out there on Facebook and are interested in chatting it up with a casino spokesman just look for David Brickman!
Tomb Raider 2 launched two days ago across the Jackpot Factory and the response has been amazing. We’ve had thousands of players taking a spin so far and have paid out over $750,000 in just 2 days. This game is hot!
If anybody out there has had a chance to take a spin I’d love to hear some feedback!
Enjoy the weekend everyone…
It seems I have completely overestimated the Facebook usage amongst our players. Since I created the David Brickman account I haven’t really got too much usage out of it! Or maybe our players are out there but simply aren’t interested in “hanging out” with the casino spokesman?
Anyway, if you’re looking to chat about this industry in a more casual environment please feel free to look me up in Facebook.
Well the cat’s out of the bag regarding our imminent launch of Bingo but there is another very exciting development I’d like to share with everyone. Mircogaming, our software provider is going to be releasing an updated version of the Tomb Raider slot machine. It’s called Tomb Raider 2! (Hey, we didn’t choose the name!)
Tomb Raider has pretty much been one of the most popular games since its release so it’s a safe bet to assume the second version will be just as successful. The launch isn’t a secret but we haven’t even seen any images yet so it looks like they are trying to keep the whole thing hush hush. As soon as we get some images I’ll post them.
For those Tomb Raider fans among us, get ready for the next level of slots play!
Well, I’m back from Australia. After two amazing weeks of summer, it’s back to the reality of winter, but don’t think I come back empty handed. No, my trip to Australia was an eye-opening experience. The wildlife down under is absolutely stunning and it really gave me a perspective of how big – and diverse – this world really is. I know every year people come out with New Year’s resolutions like they’re going to try and lose some weight or go to the gym (that was mine last year), but this year my resolution is not going to focus on me. That’s correct. Rather than put the spotlight on me I’m going to try and make the world a better place. I’m going to be more involved in ecological issues that can and will preserve our world, so that in another 50 years when people visit Australia, they’ll see the same magnificent country that I saw. And just like the movie Pay It Forward, I hope my little contribution will have a big effect on the world.
We had a great time jumping around with some kangaroos… we even got to feed some of the little ones! It’s summer in Sydney so the weather is absolutely amazing. Today we’re off to Bondi Beach, which is considered world famous.
As far as news from the home front, I’ve heard 5 Reel Drive and Thunderstruck are on a payout streak… make sure to get in on the action while they are still hot!
Happy New Year from Down Under!
After traveling for what felt like 2 weeks we arrived safely in Sydney and I have to say it is beautiful here. We’re staying with some relative overlooking the harbor and the view is spectacular. We were welcomed with a traditional Australian feast… barbeque and beer!
Today we’re going to take some time to see some native wildlife- Koalas and Kangaroos.
Happy holidays!
