If you’re curious, here’s another podcast interview that I’ve done in the past few weeks, with American Casino Guide:
For the January podcast Steve interviews David Schwartz, Director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. They discuss some of the materials contained in the Gaming Research collection, plus they talk about some of the unique documents and artifacts that are featured on the Center's web site.

I mostly talk about the Center for Gaming Research website, so if you haven’t checked it out, now you’ve got a personal tour. I’ve been spending most of my time since I did the interview sprucing up the jurisdictions section. There’s four projects there: converting the existing pages to the new CGR page format, which is wider and centered (in line with the eventual UNLV web standard); getting ready to add material from the 2009 Nevada Gaming Abstract; adding more states to the mix; and adding lottery statistics to states with lotteries. It’s time-consuming, but I’m making some progress.
