On the 20th of December,1999, he came to VEGA with mahjong pro-players,

  Junko Takahasi and Taro Kaneko and studied "Three-players Mahjong".

  Mr. Sloper had worked at SEGA and Atari. He is actually working at Activision.

  Among many games designed in the past, "Shanghai"is probably the most well-known.

  At present he is engaged in the development and operation of five games.

  Lived in Los Angeles, this was his 14th visit to Japan.

  Five years as a Mahjong player, he practices four times a week and plays often

  in American style.

  He bets, but the rate is much lower than usual Japanese practice.

  He loves not only playing mahjong but "Mahjong-hai" itself.

  So he is a collector of antique "mahjong-hai"

  not only Japanese But also Chinese and America.
