Gambling is all about entertainment. A casino is a service industry, a restaurant, a bar, an entertainment venue, and a bank all rolled into one. Not only does this industry need people that work the gambling side of the business, like dealers and pit bosses, but it needs good old hospitality workers. The video game industry is slowly taking over the entertainment landscape because it enables people to take an active role in entertainment, and it does it conveniently. People are eager to experience new games, whether with their friends or solo. They have the opportunity to compete, explore, and become part of the community. Companies in this industry operate gambling facilities or offer gaming activities. Major companies include US-based casino operators Caesars Entertainment, Las Vegas Sands, and MGM Resorts, as well as Galaxy Entertainment and SJM Holdings (Hong Kong), Tatts Group (Australia), and UK-based IGT and William Hill.
