The annual World Gaming Congress and Exposition will be at the LV Convention Center next week, Sep. 23-25th. This is a show of international proportions that covers every aspect of gaming and its service industries. If you have never attended, try to make one because it really is a lot of fun and very informative to chipping. All the manufacturers have booths including some we seldom realize are very collectible. Bourgogne Et. Grasset (they are the plaque makers that saved Monte Carlo ) Abiatti, and others that we seldom refer to, are very interesting to see and talk to. Bally's, IGT, Green duck, Chipco are just a few that have great displays. We will be there on the 23rd and hope to run into chippers (Lueders for sure...) as we play the new table games and ASK for chips...ha...We will be at the Rio and brought some gaming guests from New Zealand the 21st thru the 25th.
