There are many casinos in Malta, but Dragonara Casino is considered Malta’s premier casino. With 50 years of experience and a truly breathtaking location, it has become one of the biggest casinos in the world, and certainly one of the most recognizable. In that spirit, Dragonara is set to host the world’s first online gaming masterclass that is being held by the Totally Gaming Academy. The event will take place from the 1st to the 4th of September in Malta. The course will be presented by Igor Samardziski, the CEO of Nexus Gaming. Samardziski is someone who has been in the business for years. He started off as a web developer in 2000, later on founded Visual Innovation Studios, and was on many high level positions in many companies related to his current field of work. All these experiences led him to become the Chief Executive Officer at Nexus Gaming Intelligence. Nexus was started as a by-product. It came out of the need to create something from very little and in order to do that, they had to analyze everything in their business process and industry they operated in. As stated on their LinkedIn page, “Nexus is an aggressively expanding business within the Gaming Industry, based out of Malta, with international development hubs. The business is highly developed in both B2C and B2B services and requires a team that is highly proactive and career driven.” In the past year they have proven themselves in that field of business.

These kinds of events are rare, as everyone tries to keep their knowledge for themselves. This is why events like these are essential for the business. Smaller businesses have little opportunities to improve and learn from the best and Igor has been a big help. There were many attendees that were just starting out and this will definitely motivate and help them to build a healthy and sustainable business plan. Let’s hope that more places can be the hosts for the next year and the years to come. Making this an annual event could create a great hub for all the people in the industry. Furthermore, it is a great way for smaller companies to build business relations with the big names in the industry. For some, it is a great learning opportunity to send employees for further education and improvement. So, learn from the best to become the best and never stop learning.
