Interview with John Acres and Rich Fiore, Acres-Fiore

This week, the Global Gaming Business Podcast features an interview with John Acres and Rich Fiore, the principals in Acres-Fiore, which focuses on developing slot games and systems for the casino industry. Acres and Fiore have already made their marks in the gaming industry. Acres was the leader of Acres Gaming, which he sold to IGT and Fiore with Sierra Design Group, which was recently purchased by Bally Technologies. Both have played major roles in the development of player tracking, progressives, bonusing, the bonus wheel and other aspects of slot technology that are now commonplace. They talk about their company and products and their views of the future of the gaming industry. Fiore and Acres met with Global Gaming Business Publisher Roger Gros at their offices in Las Vegas in March.
