Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

On August 12th, we had almost every GSA staff member present at a single event.  Typically, we send our teams out in smaller crews of three or four staff, but this production required 12 people.  For the event, there were ten Challenge Stations around the room.  Our client’s group was divided into ten teams, and they rotated their way around the room to compete in the challenges.  Each station required a referee to officiate the challenge.  An emcee facilitated the entire event, and a production technician oversaw all of the computer graphics, music, and sound effects for the event.  It was an absolutely FANTASTIC production that our client stated, “…far exceeded all expectations!”

I couldn’t produce an event like this without a great crew – and the GSA crew is simply the best! THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event a HUGE SUCCESS!

In future blogs, there will be a Spotlight Series on a different crew member so our clients can get to know the GSA Team.  The one thing that all of our clients agree upon that makes GSA stand out – our service.  We strive to go above and beyond what our clients expect, which helps us achieve our mission, “Game Show America is committed to providing professional, quality productions and outstanding customer service.  Our goal is to provide our clients with the best game show productions on the planet.”

So to my crew, THANK YOU!!!  It’s truly an honor to work with you, and with a crew like this, it makes going to work A LOT of fun!

Until next time, keep on playing!

Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

We just got back from an exciting event in Crystal River, Florida and literally have one day to catch up, and then we’re off to Grand Cayman!  We’ve definitely got some work ahead of us, but we’ve also scheduled some extra time for vacation while we’re down there.  You might think this is the R & R from the title of this blog, but it’s not.

The R & R I’m referring to is our all new Risks and Rewards stage game show designed for casinos.  We previously produced this show as Thrill or No Thrill for Harrah’s Casinos.  The response was incredible!  Now, we’ve given the entire show a facelift, adding exciting new technology, new graphics, new software, and even some new game play elements to make the show even more interactive than ever before!

Risks and Rewards Casino Game Show

Risks and Rewards will be hitting casinos this fall, debuting in Las Vegas and Wisconsin.  We’ve got an all new set that’s being constructed for this show, and we’ll be posting pictures as elements of the show are completed.  This all new show allows for a high turnover of contestants, with up to 50 people being able to win prizes at every show!  For player development and rewards programs, Risks and Rewards is absolutely perfect and is a definite REWARD for your casino’s bottom line.  Risks and Rewards…We’ll see YOU at the show!

Until next time, keep on playing!

Greetings and Salutations everyone!

We’re on our way back from Nashville where we had one of the best GSA Squares shows ever!  Our digital version was a huge hit – and we’re already planning our next Squares show.  Below is a photo from the event.

GSA Squares "Digital Edition"

This morning I picked up a USA Today newspaper and in the Money section was an interesting article on meeting planners cutting back on meeting expenses.  Here is a link to the article:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/travel/2010-04-13-conventions13_CV_N.htm

There are some great money saving ideas in this article.  Having your event at a less fancy hotel – cutting back on extra snacks and drinks – opting out of extensive decorations (chair covers, etc.) – and really focusing on the heart and soul of the meeting.  While a game show is something that many would perceive as “something extra” – it is one of the best training and motivational tools you can have at an event.

Because we realize that budgets are tighter and that every line item is being more closely looked at, Game Show America is doing our part to save our clients money.  Why spend extra money on additional audio-visual equipment or audience response?  At GSA, we include audio-visual with most of our productions, and we have a variety of audience response options available if you want 100% participation.  All of our shows come complete with on-site production staff and a professional game show host, making for a very efficient event.

Our next stop is Chicago for an exciting event with our new ARS Keypads, and then it’s off to California for a casino promotion.

That’s all for now!  Until next time…keep on playing!

Greetings and Salutations Everyone!

We’ve been on the road quite a bit since my last post, and we’ve got a lot of things going on behind the scenes too.  Here’s a peek at what’s been going on…

In March, we showcased our new set in San Marcos, Texas.  This is a fantastic new set that is now being offered with all of our turnkey productions.  It comes complete with two 9′ x 12′ or two 6′ x 8′ video screens and our new translucent backdrop with LED backlighting.  This set was built in-house and is standard with all of our turnkey game show productions.  The entire set is expandable from 40 to 60 feet wide and 9 to 12 feet tall.  Believe it or not, this all fits into a single road case – and it’s included at an investment that won’t break your budget.  For our clients who want to see the set in action, we have video footage available of the screen and backdrop animations.

Announcer and Host - Randy West

For some exciting hosting news…GSA has added a new celebrity host to our already incredible lineup of talent.  We are proud to have Randy West as a featured host of Game Show America!  Randy’s credentials include announcing for The Price Is Right (both on television and live in Las Vegas), Deal or No Deal, Weakest Link, Supermarket Sweep, and Card Sharks.  He has written a book on the famous Johnny Olson titled, “Johnny Olson – A Voice In Time”, and he is currently the announcer for The Newlywed Game in Hollywood.  It’s great to have Randy as a part of Game Show America.  Randy’s TV experience is guaranteed to add an even higher level of fun and excitement to GSA’s game shows!

Onto more show news…

We’re off again this week to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to entertain a class of graduating seniors.  Next week, we’re down in Nashville showcasing our brand new GSA Squares set (we’ll have photos of that show in our next blog).  At the end of April, we’re hitting the casinos in California for some exciting game show promotions.  May takes us back to Wisconsin for more exciting casino promotions – plus we’re headed to Texas for our annual Texas Rangers event.

As I stated above, there’s also a lot going on behind the scenes.  We’ve got some amazing new technology coming out soon – something that is sure to turn the audience response world upside down!  Information and photos also coming soon in future blogs.

That’s all for now!  Looking forward to seeing YOU at our next show!  Until next time, keep on playing…
