About Matthew O'Connor

I have witnessed the continued evolution of the iGaming industry since the late 90s, and to see where it is at now compared to back then always fills me with delight. Regulation has improved, the quality of the games is on another level, and the sheer volume of games we now have access to is amazing. It makes me wonder what the industry will look like in another 20+ years. As you might expect as part of the team at LiveCasinoCentral, live casino games are my favourite. Roulette is usually top of my list but I have to admit that live gameshows offer a fantastic casino experience as well.
