MITCH GARBER - DEALER TRAINEES PREPARE FOR LATE SUMMER OPENING OF HORSESHOE CASINO BALTIMORE

The late summer 2014 launch of Horseshoe Casino Baltimore is approaching fast and eager students with Baltimore City Community College attend a 12 week 240 hour dealer-training program at the Horseshoe Legendary Academy. Trainees compete for a shot at landing employment with the state of Maryland’s second largest Casino. The brand new gambling entertainment complex boasts a 122,000 square foot gambling floor where candidates strive to be one of the 300 chosen for the cream of the crop dealer positions.

Students are receiving one-on-one training at the table games academy in a four hour classroom set up with dealer tables, to learn the art of dealing. This is a dream opportunity come true for many local Baltimore residents who have been unemployed long-term and not at the top of the list with hiring managers. Future dealers have a chance at making up to $50,000 total compensation with tips, plus additional employee benefits and other perks.

Students who complete the course but are not among the chosen will still come out winners, earning a dealer’s certification that allows them to work all tables from baccarat, crap, roulette, blackjack, and others. The intense training course is proving to be both inspirational and challenging at the same time with a large group of students struggling with cleverly using their hands and simultaneously computing numbers. However, this is not stopping these tough minded pupils who are willing to put in the necessary hard work for a rewarding life.

Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber Expects More States To Legalize Online Gambling

At least 10 states are considering moving toward creating legislation that allows the implementation or expansion of Internet gambling. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Louisiana, Iowa, Illinois , Colorado, California, and Hawaii, have all introduced proposals with New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Iowa, California and Hawaii that already have bills pending. These recent developments in pro-online gaming come as no surprise to Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber.

According to Garber, it is only a matter of time before online gambling is adopted in most states. There is more movement in the pro direction with States like NJ providing hard proof that the online gaming industry can be responsibly regulated and yield successful results. In a CNBC interview the Caesars CEO he said "We look at it as the second domino wave of gaming. It started with Nevada and New Jersey with real, land-based gaming. This is the online version of that. Nevada first and New Jersey second. Other states come one at a time."

Recently at the 2014 IGaming North America Conference Garber emphasized that people have become used to doing everything online and gambling will follow suit because of the reality of the Internet. Understanding the legitimate concerns of legalized Internet gaming opposition, He pointed out that in his 21 years in the industry and billions of dollars in transactions the fears of money laundering and terrorism have not come to pass.

Despite the sluggish nature of the process of legalizing online gaming, Garber remains optimistic. He is confident once online and interactive gaming matures in states that opt to approve it, other governments will realize the incredible potential the industry has to offer and will move toward legalization.

Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber Wins The Great Online Gambling Debate

Everyone loves a title bout where the stakes are high and two of the best fighters square off for the ultimate glory of winning the championship and bragging rights – this was the scene at the 2014 IGaming North American Conference when Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber squared off with Sands Casino executive Andy Abboud to answer the question “Is iGaming the Problem or Solution?”

Intrigued spectators reacted with delight as both casino giants made their arguments to sway public opinion to their side. Garber seemed to have the upper hand throughout with swift logical responses to each of Abboud’s claims against making Internet gambling legal. Reactions to this highly anticipated bout were just as dynamic with Garber emerging as the clear winner. Below are some reactions from attendees:

“This is a conference about trying to develop regulations to make sure it’s safe. Once we work to build those regulations to protect the consumer, then I believe that Mitch’s argument prevails. Online sports betting is already working in Europe and it’s bringing in a lot of revenues. to those places. Why can’t we find ways to make it happen in the United States. ”
- Hon. Shawn Malone, Legislature of the US Virgin Islands

“Our organizational system here in the United States is leaning toward openness as opposed to closed environments, and as more-and-more people do want to pursue online gaming, the fact that it exists today and needs to be organized in a more lawful and recognized manner, I think it’s going to lead us in that direction over time.” - Matt Davis, MoneyGram

“ The biggest point Mitch Garber CEO made and it’s the point Andrew really had no argument against is that the customers are already there. The customers want to play online. In 15 years the number of people that want to play online is going to be a lot bigger than the number of people who want to go to a brick and mortar to play.” - Vin NaraYanan, Casino City Times & GPWA Times

Mitch Garber – The New Generation of Gambling Executives

The blazing debate about whether online gambling has a place in American commerce continues to be a hot button of discussion between industry professionals, politicians, and everyday citizens. Polarizing views on this topic are glaringly visible among the “old school” thinking of some land-based casino leaders resisting the “new school” mentality of catering to the online entertainment community and digital generation of consumers. Caesars Interactive Entertainment CEO Mitch Garber considers himself and his colleagues “The New Generation” of gambling executives, who are willing to take on the old school naysayers in order to follow their customers online.

With more people choosing to transact business online, educate themselves online, and even find love online, Garber feels the new generation of gambling executives along with legislators should create a regulated framework which allow adults to play online. Garber argues that new age gambling executives know their future generation of players will be coming from the online world and smart leaders should spend more time preparing for this new way of doing business, instead of opposing what most say is a natural transition for these players.

Mitch Garber is also the man behind the widely successful World Series of Poker® (WSOP) and asserts online poker created the poker boom as people know it today. Founder and former CEO of WPT (World Poker Tournament) Enterprises Steven Lipscomb echoed Garber’s sentiment during the 2014 IGaming North America Conference while acting as a moderator between the pro legalization Garber and anti legalization Sands executive Andy Abboud. Lipscomb recalled a time where land-based casino operators fearing the worst for the online gambling landscape changed their minds about online poker after seeing quantifiable results without incident from 2002 – 2010.

Many are betting that resistant land-based casino executives will eventually get the memo that online gaming is the future and will structure their business accordingly. For Garber and his team, this is an inevitable outcome and they will continue to take a proactive stance by making the necessary changes to their infrastructure that will accommodate gamers who prefer online entertainment. His management of six land-based casinos is also a testament to the convergence of online and offline businesses and the ability for them to co-exist in a complimentary fashion.

Mitch Garber: Spearheading the Movement Towards Legalization of Online Gambling Throughout the United States

On September 19, 2013, Caesars Acquisition Company became the second entity to offer real money online poker since its legalization in the state of Nevada earlier in February that year.  Mitch Garber, CEO and President of Caesars Interactive Entertainment and CEO of Caesars Acquisition Company, is positive that laws regulating online poker will change very soon, and more states will follow suit in the fight for legalizing online gambling.  Garber has likened the early stages of online gaming legalization to the early days of land-based gaming. Nevada, followed by New Jersey, followed by a domino effect across the United States and internationally.

In late 2013, Garber oversaw the IPO of Caesars Acquisition Co. (Nasdaq; CACQ), adding landbased casinos to the online/interactive portfolio. CACQ went public at $8.64 and now is a multi-billion dollar entity, which includes 6 casino properties, CIE, and a portfolio of bonds. Garber has repeatedly spoken about convergence and cross marketing to the next generation of Las Vegas customer who today is demanding to do almost every commercial activity they can do offline, online. The digital distribution of brands and the ability to have land-based visitors become familiar with our apps and play them at home, and to have our app customers come visit our casinos is an area Caesars is leading and can win over the long run.

In a CNBC interview during the NJ online-gambling field-test run, Mitch Garber assured the public that a proven model of online gambling success can already be seen in Australia and the UK, where online gambling does not cannibalize land-based casinos. In fact, Garber asserts that while online poker was growing in revenue pre-UIGEA, data shows land based gaming revenues simultaneously increased on the Las Vegas strip, and that WSOP main event participation increased tenfold. Garber sees California as the next most-likely state to legalize online poker, and points out that Caesars partnership with the Pachanga tribe in California, is a winning combination. Garber says that online gaming is a multi-billion dollar business, and Caesars is very “bullish” as to what this means. Albeit a slow process, the Caesars CEO sees bright prospects for pro-online gaming legislation to be adapted in several states.
