HANDHELD GAMING IN LAS VEGAS
As a new law permitting remote gaming on the premises nears, business gathers
The imminent arrival of the Nevada Gaming Commission's regulations implementing
A.B. 471, the legislation authorising mobile gaming on the premises of
Nevada land casinos, has prompted Cantor Fitzgerald to open an office in
the leisure city.
The new legislation was signed into law by Governor Kenny Guinn in June 2005,
and Cantor Fitzgerald played an important role in lobbying for the legislation,
which will empower Nevada resort casinos to offer their customer's casino games
such as slots, blackjack, poker, roulette and baccarat on mobile devices such
as PDA's and tablet PCs.
Two executive appointments were announced at the same time by Cantor. Ron Rushin
and Eric Fried, two experienced gaming executives, will oversee technology
and business development efforts. Cantor intends on providing gaming and wagering
services in Nevada following regulatory approvals.
Rushin joins Cantor Gaming as Chief Technology Officer and will be responsible
for ensuring that Cantor satisfies all gaming regulations. He will also oversee
efforts to ensure that all of Cantor Gaming's products are able to easily integrate
into customers' existing operations & infrastructures. Prior to joining Cantor,
Mr. Rushin was Corporate Director of Enterprise Systems Operations for Mandalay
Resort Group, Inc.
Fried joins Cantor Gaming as Vice President of Business Development and will be
focused on sales, marketing and business development opportunities throughout
Nevada. Prior to joining Cantor, he was employed with Wynn Resorts Limited where
he focused on business development efforts for Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau.
Cantor Gaming is making its presence felt in Internet gaming, too. Earlier this
year the company launched Cantor Online Casino and announced its intention
to provide white label online casino operations to the market.
