Players Network is looking for an upbeat, knowledgeable slot machine “expert” to host a new television show Winners and Jackpots in Las Vegas. Players Network President Mark Bradley says the show will focus on how winning a mega slot jackpot changes the lives—for good or bad—of ordinary people.

“Our host needs to have an engaging personality, be energetic, telegenic, and most importantly, have a credible expertise of slot machines and an appreciation of the people who play them,” Bradley said. “He or she doesn’t have to have model good looks. He can be a Jimmy the Greek character as long as he has credibility, personality and hosting ability. He or she can be a casino employee, an expert slot player, or even a previous big winner.

“As an on-camera host this person must be comfortable in front of the camera, be able to use a teleprompter to impart scripted insights, tips and strategies about slot machine play, and be able to do impromptu interviews with slot manufacturers, players and big winners. Because our host will be representing companies with gaming licenses, he or she will have to possess good moral character, have great rapport with the public, and be a master of ceremonies at live and televised events.”

To  be considered, send a headshot and resume to Players Network, 4620 Polaris Ave, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 or email info@PlayersNetwork.com.
