Season 2

We catch up with Games Global's legendary CEO Walter Bugno to ask "Hey Walter, if you were stranded on a tropical island, what would you want to have with you?"

He chooses:

  • 3 movies
  • 3 books
  • 3 albums
  • 1 song
  • 1 pet
  • 1 object
  • 1 dessert
  • …and advice: one piece to give to his younger self, and one from his younger self to his older self.

Walter is engaging as ever, and we hope you enjoy this offshoot episode while we prepare its own feed and landing page et cetera…

They turn customer data into soaring ballads of love that give you goosebumps, with tools that make businesses simply work better. Optimove , your support helps us make things that don't sound anywhere near as good as Whitney Houston's voice.

The Greatest Love of All sponsors are undoubtedly OddsMatrix Sports Betting Software Solutions – the industry go-to for sportsbook platforms and data feeds. EveryMatrix ’s software is so sexy, even Kevin Costner can't stay away. Down Costner, down!

Clarion Gaming wants to dance with somebody, wants to feel the heat with somebody, possibly at iGB LIVE! in London this July. Pretty sure Fintan will be there, perhaps Jon too, but Clarion will definitely be there.
