Welcome to the first issue of World Gaming magazine, the magazine for people who love to bet. Our purpose is to inform and entertain the betting public.

Our home base is Macau, so of course you’ll find plenty in the magazine about casino games like baccarat, blackjack and roulette. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg – our magazine is like a buffet of betting, with a little bit of everything.

We have a regular football column focusing on the English Premier League, a poker lesson from a professional poker player, articles on world sports such as golf and tennis, all the latest racing action from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and around the world, and restaurant reviews from our world class restaurant critic, The Panda.

We also have a regular Mahjong column jointly written by two Mahjong pros (from Hong Kong and Japan), and our high-roller lifestyle column written by The Dragon, which gives you a peek into how the rich and famous live. Every issue we’ll profile a professional poker player in the Asia region, and to top it all off we have an incredibly useful directory in the back of the magazine.

On top of all these regular columns, we’ll also have feature articles on what’s currently hot in the world of gaming.

I’m proud of the team of Chinese and Western contributors we’ve built up for World Gaming. We’re lucky to have James Potter as our Editor-in-Chief. James is one of the region’s most experienced sports, gaming and poker journalists. Besides our strong team of staff writers, you’ll see special guest writers too.

With the team of quality writers we have, I know that World Gaming will quickly cement itself as the premier magazine for betting information in the Asia region, and I hope you’ll eagerly await each issue. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we did putting it together!

From the Editor-in-Chief

Dear Readers,

Welcome to World Gaming Magazine. Our mission is to bring the exciting world of gaming to all of our readers and ensure that we keep you up to date with what is happening in Macau and all over the world. Our experienced team will also bring you valuable insights into gaming, sports, poker and the high flying lifestyle that will see you enjoy yourself on and off the tables.

We have a huge magazine this issue, and in the feature article I explain why Macau sits alone at the top of world gaming. We will also have a look at the awesome ability of China’s basketball champion Yao Ming and why Hong Kong Racing is leading the way when it comes to the sport of kings.

You will also enjoy all of our regular gaming segments that should help you clean up on the tables, and our good friends The Dragon, The Panda and The Tiger have all been busy out and about in the gaming world.

Happy 2010 to all our readers — and I look forward to wishing you all a prosperous New Year in our next Special Issue, out just prior to the Chinese New Year festivities.

James Potter
Editor-in-Chief
