Inside Asian Gaming

IAG NOV 2019年11月 亞博匯 38 2019 POWER 50 BEN BLASCHKE Managing Editor, Inside Asian Gaming 本思齊 《亞博匯》執行編輯 BEN began his career as a sports journalist in Sydney in 1999 before his interest was piqued by the TV poker shows that frequented the airwaves late at night. He soon found himself not only playing the game but writing about it too – taking on the role of Editor for PokerNews Australasia and subsequently visiting Macau for the very first time in 2008. It was during this trip Ben learnt that a midday walk from his base at the old Grand Waldo to Cotai’s only integrated resort at the time, The Venetian Macao, was a shockingly bad idea. Nevertheless, when he was offered the opportunity to immerse himself in Asia’s gaming hub as Managing Editor of WGM in early 2013, he didn’t hesitate. In 2016 Ben became Managing Editor of Inside Asian Gaming and has spent the past three-and-a-half years delving ever more deeply into the business of gaming. He was instrumental in the launch of industry-leading daily e-newsletter, IAG Breakfast Briefing , in April 2017 Ben 於1999年在悉尼進入傳媒行業，當時他是一名體育 記者。此後他的興趣被深夜頻頻播出的電視撲克節目所 激發，很快便不僅僅是自己玩遊戲，而且開始寫作相關內 容——他曾擔任《PokerNews Australasia》編輯，並於2008 年第一次造訪澳門。這次旅行令Ben意識到從所住的華都 酒店步行去當時澳門唯一的一家綜合度假村澳門威尼斯 人是一個糟糕頭頂的主意。不過，當他在2013年初有機會 出任《環球博彩》的總編輯及有機會深入這個亞洲博彩中 心時，他毫不猶豫的便答應了。 Ben於2016年成為《亞博匯》的執行編輯，過去三年 半的時間裏，他更加深入地了解了博彩行業。2017年4月， 他協助推出了行業領先的每日電子通訊《亞博匯》早報。 DAVIS FONG Director of the Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming Professor of International Integrated Resort Management University of Macau 馮家超 澳門大學博彩研究所所長 澳門大學工商管理學院國際綜合度假村管理課程教授
