SUPPLIERS SPECIAL REPORT

MGS 2018 Showcasing intellectual entertainment

The MGS Entertainment Show makes its return to Macau on November 13-15, 2018, at the Venetian Macao Cotai Expo Hall A and B.

With over five years of development, the event attracts more than 15,000 visitors each year, with more than 162 exhibitors coming from the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industry in Asia.

The theme of the show this year is “New Era— Innovative Technology & Intellectual Entertainment,” highlighting the entertainment and leisure needs of integrated resorts in Asia.

According to Jay Chun, chairman of the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association, the expo will be made up of seven major sections: leisure technology; gaming equipment; an integrated resort procurement fair; environmental protection and sustainability; hotel supplies; fire safety and E-sports.

Over the years, the exhibition has also become known for showcasing companies outside of the traditional gaming industry.

This year, the event brings forth leading innovators in Asia’s science and technology industries.

It is made possible by MGEMA’s new event coorganizers, which include the Nam Kwong Culture and Creativity Industry and China National Machinery Industry International.

“There is no doubt that both companies have great potential in promoting the MGS Entertainment Show. Nam Kwong is one of the largest exhibition organizing companies in Macau with intensive exhibition experience locally and abroad. China Machinery International has made remarkable achievements in mechanical technology,” said Chun.

Two major forums will also be held at MGS 2018, including the “MGS Summit 2018” and “Global Digital Entertainment Summit 2018.”

The “MGS Summit” will discuss the status of Macau’s gaming concession rebidding process and the enactment of the Japanese Integrated Resort Act - and will invite government officials, senior managers of gaming organizations and economic experts to join the discussions.

The Global Digital Entertainment Summit 2018 will invite well-known tech gurus from Asia, such as the marketing director of Net Ease Game, the vice president of Lenovo Group, the MI VR team leader and other professionals to share the latest developments on e-sports, blockchain and AR/VR technology.

Over the next few pages, you will find our 2018 MGS Supplier Special, where we highlight the key gaming-related suppliers at MGS, giving you a sneak peek at the products they will have on show.

“It’s all about what’s inside”

ARISTOCRAT

The Link segment comprises one of the most important product types in Aristocrat Asia’s portfolio and is a key engine to any successful gaming floor across the Asia-Pacific region.

To breathe further innovation into this segment, Aristocrat is showcasing a range of different approaches to the link segment at the Macao Gaming Show this year, to suit a variety of customers and players.

At MGS 2018, we are excited to debut our latest link family– Gold Stacks 88. Gold Stacks 88 presents an Asian All Star cast. Led by Baby Choy Sun Doa, Dragon, Peacock, Foo Lions & Panda. The characters cheerfully award players with exciting jackpots and more ways to win on offer, using Aristocrat’s Extra Ways math model.

At launch, we will have two titles available: Dancing Foo and Lunar Festival. Both titles are highly Asian-centric, themed with Chinese New Year meaning, to bring the Prosperity and Wealth to your players.

In addition to Gold Stacks 88, the Lanterns family and Fast Fortune will also be featured at this year’s show. Lanterns Link delivers Persistent Wilds that award Jackpots and entry into the Free Games feature with players able to wager an ante-bet to activate additional floating Wilds during gameplay. These floating WILDs stay on screen for a number of spins and can explode into adjacent reel spots, adding to the excitement.

Fast Fortune 5 Dragons Gold merges the fan favourite 5 Dragons Gold math model, allowing all jackpots to be awarded at any bet level, and at any time, with an additional sixth reel for added enjoyment.

“Our global teams of designers, creatives, mathematicians and engineers are united behind one goal: to create innovative games and cabinets that help our customers provide their guests with the best player experience and entertainment possible” said Chris Rowe, Aristocrat Managing Director Asia-Pacific.

We look forward to carrying this momentum forward further in the coming months and invite you to celebrate the unveiling of a number of key Linked progressives and other products on display at the Macao Gaming Show this year.
