PUBLISHER'S LETTER

PUBLISHER'S LETTER in Casino Design 2009. The issue opened by its publisher: what the editors chose to cover, what changed in the market since the last number, and why it mattered. 1 story. The rest of the issue follows below. Sections are the magazine's own: each annual was assembled out of departments that recurred from year to year, and the pages are kept at the addresses the issue gave them.

1 storie sit under PUBLISHER'S LETTER, all of them from 2009. The longest of them is Hard Hit.

PUBLISHER'S LETTER is one of 6 departments in Casino Design 2009; the others are Columns, COMPANY PROFILES, Departments, FEATURES and GGB Directory. The issue as a whole carried 6 stories, and all of them are listed on the Casino Design 2009 page. In order, the set runs Hard Hit.

What follows is the archive as the magazine left it, sorted rather than summarised. Headlines keep their original addresses, the issue each story ran in stays with it, and where two stories disagree about a property both are kept: the earlier one is what was planned, the later one is what was built. Reading them in that order is usually more instructive than either on its own, which is why nothing has been quietly superseded or removed.

The counts on this page are read off the archive at build time, not maintained by hand, which is why they are odd numbers rather than round ones. The same goes for the themes and practices listed above: they come from reading the text of the stories, so a firm appears because a writer named it in a sentence, not because someone attached a label afterwards. That makes the lists shorter than a tag cloud would be, and more reliable.
