The ‘AcontecendoAqui’ website talked to Eduardo Fernandes.

How did the casino business for parties and events come about?
I always had the "surprise and enchantment" focus on projects developed for hotels and resorts I worked in. The constant search for innovation and pioneering the delivery of experiences, makes us open the range for curiosities and so it was with gaming. In 2011 I did an event for a car brand where the theme was Las Vegas, and there were tables in the set design. At the time when I occupied the position of entertainment manager at a resort that outsourced its entire operation, I saw that a full service of "casino games" could be a spectacular option. After a hard work of planning, production, training and we began to offer the services. It eventually gained ground and expanded to corporate and social events on an itinerant basis.

What is the profile of customers of Club Cassino?
At first the challenge was huge, as there was a lot of resistance from big brands to tie their name to gaming; even though our format is totally legal and in accordance with Brazilian law as the focus is exclusively on fun and relationship and not on betting. Today we already have cases of the most diverse as hotels and resorts, companies, fairs and congresses, brand activation, weddings, birthdays, malls and clubs. The games are fun, dynamic and easy to play. The atmosphere is nice relaxed, charming, elegant and hardly the tables are empty. All of this climate is extremely attractive and adds great value to the event, where we can cater from 10 people to 2000 or more.

Why is it "cool" to play with Club Cassino?
It is a good question. It gives me a chance for two lines of answer. Let's get the legality first. Club Cassino operates with fun, leisure and entertainment, having in its core business the proposal to take the casino experience and there is no "money bet" in our events. We are fully within the laws in force in the country. The business model is healthy, fun, timeless and with countless possibilities without any infringement or illegality. Best of all, it is very cool. If we ask the more than 100,000 people who have played with us the answer will be an echo of words like: Top, cool, fun, catchy, innovative, sensational, awesome, just like anywhere in the world, enchanted and so on. With an advantage: no one loses a penny!

How do you see the possible legalization of gambling in the country and what are the expectations of Club Cassino?
We are closely following all the movements surrounding the theme and building a stronger opinion in favor. We see numerous positive points among which we can highlight the strengthening of tourism and its trade, the large generation of direct and indirect jobs, and the robust collection for public coffers. In the negatives pointed out we highlight only the issue of addiction and the possible general "loss" by some gamblers, but there are already mechanisms to control this possible problem. We learn to lower expectations, but we see opportunities. They exist in the area of development, training of teams (croupies) and gaming managers, production and maintenance of equipment among many other fronts. We see with good and promising eyes this market.
