“We knew we had to launch an aggressive Internet marketing program to be competitive in our market, but we could never get any real traction until WSI arrived. WSI brings tremendous value to Mardi Gras Gaming because they worked hard to understand the essence of our positioning and focused on our most important revenue streams. WSI’s SEO program in particular has had a dramatic impact on our business".
