Graeme Levin has an intense passion for games and was born with a knack for identifying business opportunities.  His career in the games industry is remarkable, having published his own magazines, opened retail stores in prime Central London locations, launching one of the first iGaming portals, creating bingo software and even working in theatre and founding security companies.

This gentle and inspiring man has accomplished so much throughout his life, but his biggest achievements were always born out a love for games.

“I invented many games, but the two that saw the light of day, actually there were more, but the main ones, one was a cricket game which I invented with a friend of mine.  We had very enjoyable research sessions watching cricket for many months, recording the types of shots that are played and I developed a card cricket game which in its time was very advanced, now of course you can do this all electronically.  And the other one was a stock market game which was based on my experiences on the stock market.  I used to speculate a lot, so I eventually developed this game which I called Speculate.

“When I was twelve, or thereabouts, I said to my best friend who I invented the cricket game with, I said, ‘Arnie, my ambition in life is to have game shops which sell every single game’ and from then on my whole life was really committed to games- I fulfilled my ambition.
