Readers, like you, called, e-mailed, and wrote to us with suggestions for articles, events and changes you would like to see in the Gaming Guide. We value all reader input, and respond to everyone, so please keep telling us what you would like to see. In 2007 we are planning an expanded web site, more pages and new features.
Southern California casinos are a unique group of properties that helped introduce signi cant casino changes world-wide. e were among the rst to introduce “ticket-in/ticket-out” play that rapidly became an industry standard. And Southern California casinos remain on the leading edge of casino technology and innovation. In the next few months, look for news about casino innovations coming to Southern California and how they will make your play more exciting.
At the end of this wonderful year, we want to remind you to keep your casino playing fun. Be a responsible player, and enjoy your time at the casino by always playing within your means.
