SHINE 360

I always wondered what this was. I haven't tried it yet. So, what exactly is it?
It's a space where guests can experience the excitement of a “phygital” experience. Patented technology in the Shine 360° enables creation of one-of-a-kind 360 degree video, capturing each guest’s shining moment in the spotlight and instantly sharing it through Facebook, Twitter and e-mail. A growing trend in Europe, “phygital” marketing brings physical experiences to life in the digital world. You step inside and strike a pose as cameras capture a video of your shining moment. Guests enter Shine 360° and immediately are transformed into “digital celebrities” as 48 photos are simultaneously snapped in a circle around them. In seconds, the photos are seamlessly transformed into a 360-degree head-to-toe, back-to-front image. You can share your video with friends, or watch it again to relive your time in the spotlight.
Located in Casino of the Sky, across from the Arena Club entrance, this 24-foot wide installation captures users’ celebrity moments from every angle, creating a 360 video that they can immediately share with their social media ‘fans.’ There is no charge to use the booth; guests just need to be 21 years of age or older and be a Player’s Club member.

It's open every Friday & Saturday Night, 6pm to 2am

Finally, Congratulations.....
I like to concentrate on New England Gaming, but at this moment, I would like to look to AC and congratulate Jeff Hartman, previous President and Chief Executive Officer of Mohegan Sun from January 2011 until October 2012. I knew him through my career in education and his wonderful family, and through discussions about the PowerBonusing additions at the Sun.

Revel AC Inc. announced that it has appointed Mr. Hartmann as Revel AC’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, subject to regulatory approval. Jeff is a more than 20-year veteran of the gaming, hospitality and leisure industries, and possesses a solid understanding of Revel’s business, having worked with the Company on a consultancy basis since the beginning of 2013. I wish him and his family well, as well as Revel which seems to need a good person to bring it out of it's shaky beginning in AC.

That's all for now! Happy St. Patrick's Day.
