Inside Asian Gaming

DECEMBER 2018 INSIDE ASIAN GAMING 73 Allan Zeman On the radar In addition to the 65 people in the combined BIG 50, The Next 5 and the Ones To Watch , we also have a list of over 30 people who we consider “On The Radar”. This list is not published, but we use it each year to check for potential new people on the Power 50. If you think of a name you don’t see amongst the 65 published in this issue who you think should be on our radar for future years, please email our Managing Editor Ben Blaschke on bb@asgam.com , and we’ll consider adding them to our “On The Radar” list if they’re not already there. Ed Tracy CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Hard Rock Japan The former Sands China President and CEO is now Hard Rock International’s CEO of Asia, tasked with expanding the company’s regional portfolio including the No 1 target of Japan. Hard Rock is targeting a regional IR in Hokkaido and with the highly-respected Tracy at the helm is considered a very strong chance should the northern island win the confidence of government. Steve Wynn FOUNDER Wynn Resorts Shocking allegations of sexual misconduct aired in February ultimately forced founder Steve Wynn to stand down from the Wynn Resorts board and sell off his shares. At 76 years of age, it is unlikely he can ever make a comeback but don’t expect him to disappear into the ether – he recently launched legal proceedings against his former company for handing over privileged documents to investigators. ASIAN GAMING POWER 50 2 0 1 8 Allan Zeman CHAIRMAN Wynn Macau A legend in the Hong Kong business community, having built the famous Lan Kwai Fong entertainment district from the ground up, Zeman has also stepped into the void left by Steve Wynn’s departure in Macau. The company’s new Chairman isn’t heavily involved in day to day operations but he brings respect and an exceptional business mind for the crucial years ahead. ASIAN GAMING
