I constantly get told that there's only bad news here. Visitors are always welcome to send on good news, even if you've already posted it on Facebook!

Jobs, well paid ones that offer a future, are classed as good news. However they go in the Employment section on Gamingfloor.biz

Casino/Gaming Jobs and Vacancies

Another question I often get is... why do you charge for Job listings ?...there would be alot more if it was FREE. The answer is: Do you work for FREE ?
(If the answer is yes, then come and work for me, I'll take yer :) )
Also would you really want to work for a company that does all it can to avoid paying for advertising ?. As a employer if they're so strapped for cash my recommendation is that they really should be in another business.

NAME: Mark McGuckin
MESSAGE: I am saddened to hear about Dale Matthews. I worked with Dale for Tilley in Mexico just three years ago and previously with him, Wilf and Ian on NCL in L.A. in the 80's. R.I.P. Dale, it was a pleasure.

2nd October.
At the time of typing I'm in transit and on my way to G2E. All being well I should be at the Casino Reunions get together at the Palazzo on the 5th. I also hope to see some of you at the show of course - but that's business !

Talking about business
It's become increasingly clear over the years that Gamingfloor.com as a Ltd. company requires additional firepower especially on administration/secretarial and website/news update fronts. So it could be that after G2E I'll be looking for 1 or 2 individuals to work remotely. We'll see...
All potential candidates need are excellent computer skills, knowledge of website construction, preferably multi-lingual, casino experience and dedication. 
Maybe that's you ?
