Inside Asian Gaming

IAG APR 2020年4月 亞博匯 104 INDUSTRY PROFILE industry. I was pretty much a one trick pony working in slot operations for my entire gaming career. Wanting to stay in Macau, I reached out to Sega Sammy Creation because they were a well-grounded, growing slot manufacturing company that I had my eye on while working as Assistant Vice President of Electronic Games for Galaxy Entertainment at The StarWorld Hotel and Casino. I figured they could use the experience and perspective of a well-seasoned slot operations executive in their growing company. Turns out they saw it the same way. I was not disappointed as Sega Sammy Creation has a fantastic team of dedicated professionals. BB: What do you enjoy most about your job and the industry as a whole? DL: Since I know just about everyone in the Electronic Games segment of the gaming industry in Asia, introducing myself was not necessary! I like the travel (although the veteran salespersons of electronic games in Asia will tell you that’s the most grinding). The best part of the job is Sega Sammy Creation is based in Yokohama, Japan! Visiting Japan and working for such a professional Japanese business culture is inspirational and makes my job infinitely more enjoyable and satisfying. It helps that we have been very successful with our products like our Genesis Slant Stand-alone Baccarat. BB: What does a typical working day in the life of Dominic Laubach look like? DL: Well as with most of us in the industry before the coronavirus crisis, we would normally be on the road about half the time meeting with clients in various Asian countries, attending and manning trade shows and conferences. When I am not traveling, the days are mostly spent like any other job: emails, reports, scheduling travel and attending videoconferences and live meetings, along with lunches or coffees with Macau clients mostly in the afternoons.
