LINWOOD, NJ--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2014) - For the third time in six years, Inc. magazine named Spectrum Gaming Group to its annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
Spectrum, an independent research and professional services firm that is active on five continents, was ranked at No. 2,214. Spectrum previously achieved this recognition in 2008 and 2009.

"To achieve such recognition three times in the span of six years is an extraordinary honor, and demonstrates that adhering to those principles is the best possible business strategy."
Spectrum Managing Director Fredric Gushin went on to say, "Inc. magazine has previously noted: 'A focus on integrity has allowed Spectrum to thrive.' That remains our focus, and is the essential ingredient in our success. This is a tribute to the experienced professionals who work with us, and to our many government and private clients, who believe in us."
