Inside Asian Gaming

INSIDE ASIAN GAMING | September 2010 10 The Asian Gaming 50 – 2010 The third annual ranking of the industry’s most influential people Some of the people in the Asian Gaming 50 – 2010 had easier starts in life than others. A few are casino gaming ‘royalty’ born into families already powerful in the industry. Most are self-made or corporate employees especially hungry for success. What they all share is this: they have kept going in their chosen career path and chosen industry despite setbacks, sometimes even seemingly against the odds. Notable new entries this year include faces from the nascent Singapore casino industry. There are also new names from the Macau VIP baccarat sector, reflecting its major contribution to the spectacular growth of Macau’s gross revenues. No matter what the backgrounds of the Asian Gaming 50 – 2010 , they have energy and vision and have helped to make the regional industry the exciting and vibrant market it is today. Those who have departed from the list and those who have not yet appeared on it can take some comfort. Their competitive spirit has also made a contribution. It has helped Asian gaming to be one of the most meritocratic business hierarchies found anywhere in the world.
