Here at IAG we’re always delighted to receive feedback from our readers. It comes through a variety of channels such as our LinkedIn page, in-person industry events or even just plain old email. Such feedback helps to shape our thinking on industry coverage.
We recently received some feedback to the editorial of the May issue of IAG, which was written by our Managing Editor Ben Blaschke. The editorial, titled “Japan: Is something better than nothing?”, lamented the fact that what we will ultimately get in Japan will likely be so much less than what could have been.
Here’s the feedback, slightly edited for brevity and clarity:
“I am from Japan, based in Las Vegas and have been in the gaming industry since 2005. Personally, I also have a ‘not very optimistic’ view for Japan. Recently, I came across Mr Kenichi Ohmae, a globally famous management consultant, who is also skeptical about MGM Osaka. As well as doubting MGM’s ability to attract enough high rollers, he describes the casino industry as a twilight industry, very different from an emerging industry.”
