Caesars Interactive CEO Mitch Garber Believes The Power Of Water Can Unite The World

One of the most critical challenges of the 21st century is providing clean water access to billions of people around the world. Sustainable clean water is a vital component necessary to life and nearly 800 million people lack access to clean water while 2.5 billion are deprived of access to adequate sanitation. Caesars Acquisition Co. CEO Mitch Garber has joined forces with Cirque du Soleil and One Drop Foundation founder Guy Laliberté to create a powerful coalition working toward solving the world’s water access and management challenges.

One Drop Foundation

One Drop is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to ensure clean water is accessible to all. The foundation’s unique sustainable intervention model develops innovative water access and management projects that encourage resourcefulness to people in disadvantaged, rural and semi-rural regions of Latin America, West Africa and Asia. Mitch Garber CEO of Caesars acquisition Co, and Caesars Interactive Inc., sits on the board of directors of the One Drop Foundation and has raised in excess of $10 million dollars with the Big One for One Drop Tournament hosted by the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

One Drop Projects

One Drop supports clean water activities with a high social and environmental impact. Art and culture is used to mobilize people in impoverished communities to provide education about water issues. Access to solidarity financing is given to foster development of income-generating activities, thus making it possible to create jobs and stronger self-reliant communities. The Foundation currently has projects in Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, and Nicaragua.

One Drop Approach

Water To Live – One Drop provides communities with clean water access by creating the physical infrastructures needed, and endow them with indispensable skills and knowledge, to create a shared responsible effort in maintaining and managing the resource.

Water To Prosper – One Drop inspires economic activity by providing families and individuals with access to micro-loans. The income-generating activities from subsequent ventures help build sustainable communities around the world.

Water To Inspire – Communities are mobilized through social arts and shared beliefs to understand water issues more easily. This communication on a local level helps One Drop to quickly connect and convince people to embrace good water management practices.

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.
