#2 Turning the Tables Casino Agents in the Hot Seat

What do casino buyers really want to ask agents? We asked more than 200 casino buyers across North America to submit their toughest questions—anonymously. The best made it onto our onstage roulette wheel, where a panel of veteran agents will answer whatever the wheel lands on, live and unscripted. Honest questions. Candid answers. A fast-paced conversation you won't want to miss.
