Bwin.Party begin recruiting as they sail confidently into the digital waters of the United States of America, with the opening of online gambling in New Jersey.
Bwin.party Digital Entertainment and its land-based casino partner, Boyd Gaming Corp’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, ticked the boxes that PokerStars could not, to ensure when the clock strikes 18:00 (EST) on Thursday 21st November 2013 they will be able to participate in a soft launch of online gaming in preparation for the real thing which starts on 26th November 2013.
The New Jersey era is the latest step, albeit a baby one, towards a United States that was once owned: lock, stock and two smoking barrels by Party Poker. The once mighty giant held a 41% share of the world’s poker revenue with 77% of that action coming from the people Uncle Sam just doesn’t want to play cards.
Is it going to be a return to the good times?
Well a lot depends on the personnel hired to steer the ship.
In a recent interview with Neal Wyman of Exeter Partners, a specialist in board appointments in the Leisure, Hospitality and Gaming Sectors, he told us how Sands China had hired his team in a task that eventually led to the appointment of Olaf Gueldner as Senior Vice Prez and Chief Marketing Officer for their business in Macau.
Bwin.party are also on the look out for some new blood to course through the veins of the new Atlantic City operations, except there is no old boys network or head hunters to speak of. Instead, they have advertised for the position of Front End Manager for Poker USA on their website.
So what attributes do you need to manage the performance of all poker and casino rooms that share US liquidity, namely PartyPoker and the WPT?
‘A results oriented and customer focused manager, with strong commercial awareness and analytical skills, you will have extensive experience of managing CRM and operations, ideally within the online gaming sector and ideally within poker and casino. “
- Previous responsibility for broad KPI’s and delivery of P&L.
- Established track record as team leader.
- Strong commercial awareness and analytical skills.
- Basic awareness of IT development processes.
- Experience of working in a global environment and operating in a complex and uncertain regulatory environment.
- Knowledge of online gaming products, particularly poker and casino.
You see Mr. Adelson online gaming creates jobs as well as raging teenage lunatics that are hooked on Melon Madness.
Neal Wyman believes if you want to be successful in your application for a job in the gaming industry you need to have a presence and awareness of who you are; and that a strong CV that stands up to rigorous scrutiny is as important as ensuring your digital identity corroborates your claims.
If this sounds like you then what are you waiting for. Head to the site and apply to be a part of the new wave of online gaming in the not so United States of America…but be quick, because the rumors are rife that Sheldon Adelson will be putting a stop to online gambling before it even starts.
Another Huge Mobile Slots Win for a Bwin Customer
Despite being one of the luckiest bar stewards alive, I offer no crash courses on how to get lucky. But if I were to hand out just one piece of advice it would probably be to open a mobile casino account at bwin and start playing the slot machines.
Life changing jackpots are dropping quicker than footballs in the hands of Joe Hart, with the latest one standing at €1,405,699, which was won when a 29 year old customer bet €16 on the game of Melon Madness from his iPhone.
“I was at home when I hit the jackpot. It felt great! I can’t believe how lucky I am!” said the man cannot believe how lucky he is.
Screw the Front End Manager for Pokers job. I’m going to carve out a career as a melon madness slot machine player.
