Well not often I make it to a news paper. Today was an exceptional exception making when I made it quite accidently to Mir Novesti (РњР˜Р? РќРћР?РћРЎРўР?Р?) a popular weekly journal in Moscow

Our PR manager sprung a last minute oppertunity onto us to show Russia’s first ‘Narodny Artist’ (People’s Artist) Alexey Goman what a day in the life of a dealer in a casino is like. With no time to get together people to look like players I managed to get in a few photos and one of them became the lead photo for the aritcle.

Alexey was pretty amazed at our industry mostly how it differs from what people imagine as portrayed in the movies. There was no smoke, no agressive customers, plenty of women (young and old) playing slots and most of all nice, intellegent, polite young staff.

The clipping says that the punters (players) were at first suprised to see Alexey in the property and then confused when he put on a dealers vest. They crowded with much interest.

Still doesn’t beat meeting Bony M during a promotion in Shangri La but is up there with meeting Malikov, Penkin and Hi-Fi in previous promotions.
