Impressario Casino, the carnival & circus-themed operator, also known as “The Greatest Show on Earth”, has been shortlisted four times in two of the most prestigious upcoming Award Shows. Impressario casino secured two nominations at the EGR Awards (the “Oscars” of the gaming world) in the categories “Rising Star” and “In-House Product”. Two more nominations followed at the prestigious SBC Awards in the categories “Rising Star” and “Innovation”.
Ioannis Lagos, one of the strategic minds behind the brand, and a 25-year industry veteran, answers a few questions, on the occasion:
– So, you did it again and again?
Yes. You know, when Robert Smith of the legendary Cure sang the anthem “A Forest” in the eighties, he repeated the word “again” exactly 21 times at the end, and more than 30 times in live shows, and I know, because I’ve seen them live. So, we did it again, and again, and again, and again, which feels very exhilarating for us! And don’t forget that these shortlists increase our tally to 8 awards and distinctions, at only 1 year of age.
– There must be a secret formula for this.
Yes, and we call it “DIG”. That is differentiation, innovation, and generosity. DIG is not just an acronym. It’s our compass, and our engine. Check Impressario’s graphics and our content. Check our emails, our pop-ups, and our social media. Take a look at our VIP Program. Go through our promos. Discover our innovations and endless generosity. This is all the result of DIG. The world is full of cookie-cutter casinos. But you know what? We eat them for breakfast.
– What’s in it for the future, then? More inspiration?
Nothing but work. You know, when Picasso was asked about inspiration, he said “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” That’s exactly our mindset. We’ll keep working, keep creating, keep pushing. More differentiation, more innovation, more generosity. And if the awards keep coming along the way? Well, that’s just the encore to the Greatest Show on Earth!
