Bonus Round: An Eilers & Krejcik Gaming Podcast
Episode 14: Prepping for G2E with Rick Luthy at the Venetian
With G2E at the Venetian Expo, the Venetian and Palazzo casino floors are the first thing attendees walk through, and Rick Luthy's team touches roughly 600 of their 2,300 slots to get them ready. The VP of Slot Operations joins Bonus Round two weeks out from the show to talk about his perspective on what makes operating on the Strip different from a locals or tribal floor, and how his strategy as a buyer has changed over the years. Also in Rick's view, which 2025 releases actually delivered, and what he's watching from the mid-size and smaller suppliers.
