Gaming News 2 1 Wednesday, October 10, 2018 promote bacteria and fungi to grow, caus- ing bad foot odor, athlete's foot and toe- nail fungus. Shoes with no arch support, stability, shock absorption or cushioning can lead to a long list of issues, from minor fatigue to chronic foot ailments and con- ditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, Morton's neuroma, metatarsalgia and more, as well as hip and back pain and misalignment. All of the above can result in sick days and time off work for doctor's appointments and even surgery. Specifically for gaming industry jobs, if the footwear does not provide the necessary slip-resistant protection for the environment, it could lead to an insecure worker who doesn't feel comfortable to work at a fast pace, or worse, creates unstable footing that causes a slip, trip or fall accident, which leads to time-off work and a worker's compensation claim. Reduce your risk and your employ- ee's risk while significantly improving their productivity and longevity with a Lehigh CustomFit (Cont'd. from p. 1) Lehigh CustomFit managed corporate footwear program. From years of experience, Lehigh CustomFit is an expert in knowing the right shoes for every work environment and has built a completely customizable program that fits any company and every employee. Program implementation drives employee participation and therefore reduces one of the most common employee injury risks – slips, trips and falls. Compared to voluntary options, company subsidized and paid programs have shown to increase employee's wear- ing suggested proper footwear by 55 per- cent to 90 percent, which reduces slip and fall costs from 40 percent to 80 per- cent. This in turn reduces worker's com- pensation claims, the cost of insurance premiums and lost-time productivity.

That's not only AMERIND's vision, but the heart of sovereignty and why our team is so passionate about what we do. GN: What products and services do you offer? TD: We provide a robust range of prod- ucts and services, including property and liability coverage for Tribal gov- ernments and businesses, Tribal Workers' Compensation, individual homeowner and renter's coverage and employee benefits. Also, our AMERIND Critical Infrastructure helps Tribal communities obtain high- speed Internet. We continue to expand to meet the evolving needs of our Tribal members, while keeping Native communities safe. GN: What sets AMERIND Risk apart from its competition? TD: AMERIND Risk avoids a one-size- fits-all approach to insurance. We consid- er a Tribe's key risks and design an insur- ance program around those risks. Doing business sovereign to sover- eign with AMERIND Risk means saving money by avoiding state and federal taxes and fees. Our expense ratio is typi- cally 10-20 percent less than other insur- ance carriers. Saving Tribes money on insurance gives Tribes the ability to spend their money where it is needed most – their communities. With a 63 percent Native American staff, AMERIND Risk is personally invested in serving Tribes. We approach business as a person-to-person relation- ship. We treat every AMERIND client like a family member. AMERIND Risk (Cont'd. from p. 1) AMERIND is sensitive to Tribal cul- ture and tradition. Unlike many insurance providers, we insure mobile homes, and traditional homes. AMERIND Risk's Tribal Workers' Compensation (TWC) is a Tribal solution to state workers' compensation. Our TWC program offers excellent protection for employees at a reduced cost. Meanwhile, AMERIND saves Tribes time and legal expense by handling any workers' com- pensation litigation in Tribal jurisdiction. AMERIND Risk goes the extra mile to offer workforce safety training through our TWC program, and to educate Tribal housing authorities, homeowners and renters about safety measures to reduce risk. Prioritizing prevention reduces time lost at work, and helps control losses and rising premiums. GN: In what other ways does AMERIND Risk contribute to the sustainability of Indian Country? TD: Because 100 percent of our rev- enue comes from Tribes, AMERIND Risk "gives back" to Indian Country. We firmly believe in helping to grow and build Tribal communities. We allo- cate $500,000 annually for Tribal organizations, Native scholarships, out- reach and advocacy, event sponsorships and more. For more than 30 years, AMERIND Risk has stood by Tribes through hardships, helping communi- ties rebuild and flourish. AMERIND Risk is here for the long haul – as long as Tribes need us.

If a casino is looking to protect and capitalize on its player database, then it should select a sports betting platform provider that would supply the underly- ing technology and some, if not all, con- tent for them. While many platform providers provide slight differences in product and experience platform to plat- form, they, unlike Metric, do not allow for differentiation on the same platform. Metric is a B2B sports betting plat- form provider that prides itself on thinking like a B2C operator. Members of Metric's management team lead some of the mar- ket leading B2C brands in the industry. Metric has created a modular, multi- channel enterprise level sportsbook plat- form built to solve regulatory divergence with unparalleled multi-brand capabili- ties. The fully managed customizable platform allows casino operators to dif- ferentiate customer experiences based on a 360-degree view of the player. The cus- tomization extends from margins and pricing, event and market offering to individual bet limits and bet delays. Metric has integrated several content and pricing providers, allowing the casi- Metric Gaming (Cont'd. from p. 1) no operator unparalleled flexibility to select the content from the provider they want, maximizing customer engagement and profit, while delivering a sportsbook offering that is instantly competitive against established brands. In conjunc- tion with the pricing providers, Metric has built market leading proprietary golf and racing products. Finally, Metric has built a suite of innovative recreational product features such as a configurable cash out algorithm allowing the operator to differentiate the margin applied to cashout offers, and SuperLive™ markets bringing casino- style betting to sports. While the U.S. sports betting market is immature, errant decisions will be less costly to the operator. But as the market grows and regulations expand to allow more sports betting nationally, casino operators will need to clearly understand how to leverage their brands and player databases, and how to retain and maxi- mize their player.
