News
General industry news, posted as it lands: openings, expansions, renovations, licences and the moves that change what gets built. It runs on its own clock, separate from the magazine's reported features — those are filed by subject in Architecture, Interiors, Gaming Floor, Hospitality and Development, and the full run of annual issues from 2008 onward stays live at its original addresses. Where a news item touches a subject the archive has covered at length, the relevant background is one link away in the Design Index.
2 stories sit under News. The longest of them is Top Sports Betting Platforms in South Africa.
A news item here is short by design: what happened, where, who is building it and what it changes about the property. Anything that needs drawings, a budget breakdown or a walk through the floor belongs in the annual, and that is where it goes. The desk does not rate operators, does not publish bonus offers and does not report on playing anywhere. Where a story turns on a number — a room count, a floor area, a build cost — the number comes from the announcement or the filing it appeared in, and the item says which. In order, the set runs Top Sports Betting Platforms in South Africa and Best Swedish Mobile Casino.
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 Reading them in that order is usually more instructive than either on its own, which is why nothing has been quietly superseded or removed.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.
