Keynote speakers include Daisy Ho, chairman, and executive director, SJM Holdings, Paulo Martins Chan, Director of the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, Zane Moi, Deputy General Manager, Head of Partner Ecosystems, Amazon Web Services, and Nadine Grinblat, CEO of the Australasian Gaming Council.

“Our twelve-year success in Macau demonstrates the extent to which ambitious businesses in the world of global gaming and entertainment trust G2E Asia to help them connect to new opportunities, explore fresh innovations, and conduct peer-to-peer exchange. The show continues to evolve, according to the changing rhythms of the industry, which is why it remains so relevant, and why the gaming and entertainment industry, throughout Asia, trusts G2E Asia as the right exhibition platform via which to drive business forward,” said Josephine Lee.

APE bets on innovation, new markets, to fuel growth

APE

Just over 18 months after listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Macau gaming machine distributor Asia Pioneer Entertainment (APE), is marking new milestones, with expansion into the fast-growing markets of Southeast Asia.

Last December, the company reached an accord with Glimex Philippines on a five-year machine rental agreement for APE’s ETG and EGM products from Konami and Spintec. In just three months, the two companies worked together to import 7.6 percent of the agreed products into one of the fastest-growing markets in Asia.

It has also reached a five-year financial leasing agreement with Siam Star Leisure in Cambodia, also for Konami and Spintec’s ETG and EGM products, with the two transactions bringing APE more than HK$30 million ($3.8 million) in revenue in 2018.

Although analysts remain optimistic that Macau will retain its crown as Asia’s premier gambling hub, growth is slowing in tandem with a deceleration in Mainland China’s economy. Most of the new developments on Cotai are now open, with the only major debut in the pipeline that of SJM Holding’s Grand Lisboa Palace later this year.

Elsewhere, development is continuing at a strong pace, with new resorts opening across the region. According to a report by Research and Markets, the gambling market in Asia Pacific is likely to record compound annual average growth of 7.31 percent each year through to 2021.

“Chinese tourism is expected to grow with progress on the Belt and Road Initiative that will improve accessibility to various parts of Southeast Asia,” APE CEO and Executive Director Herman Ng said. “We see a bright future for the casino industry and this is especially visible in Asian countries.”

“The APE team continues to work in a pioneering spirit with operators in Cambodia and Vietnam,” he said, adding the company is collaborating to introduce electronic table games (ETGs) into casinos in areas such as Poipet in Cambodia, as well as dealing with some of the major resorts in Vietnam.

APE has three main business lines. About 60 percent of its revenue comes from the sale and distribution of electronic gaming equipment, which generated HK$65.6 million last year. However, sales from consultancy and technical services are growing fast, with revenue gaining 26 percent, while sales from repairing and refurbishing equipment rose 15 percent.

“It reflects that there is a huge and increasing demand of consultancy and technical services and repairing services in the Macau gaming industry,” Ng said. “For companies that would like to enter the Macau and Asian markets, we are able to help with getting their products approved and provide professional consultancy service because we have localized experience, strong relationships and know the latest updates.”

Local knowledge is an invaluable asset in navigating Asian markets, especially the notoriously laborious regulatory process needed to get products into Macau.

As well as expanding geographically, APE and its key partners are striving to promote innovation to bring a different level of excitement to the casino floor. For example, it recently introduced Konami Holding’s arcade-style horse racing game “Fortune Cup” into two casinos in Macau. It is an electronic table game and the only one of its kind in the territory.

Konami is also introducing its Link Progressive and SAP games, which magnify the jackpot excitement. In addition, Bao Ni Fa from Jumbo Technology is a brand-new progressive linked jackpot, which contains three progressive levels as well as a Standalone Jackpot.

Moreover, the new virtual Blackjack from Spintec includes five additional side bets, creating more fun for players than traditional card games. Leading printer manufacturer Transact Technologies has also introduced their new Epic Edge TITO printer, offering 300 DPI print resolution, which is delivering a two-fold improvement over current printers.

All these innovative products above will be shown at G2E Asia 2019 and have already, or will soon be released in Macau.

APE’s listing on the Growth Enterprise Market was a game changer for the company, allowing it to inject more capital into the business and fuelling its expansion. In 2018, overall revenue gained 27 percent, while profit skyrocketed 350 percent.

“It was a very positive year for the company, and we are confident in maintaining the company’s steady growth in the future and maximizing returns for investors,” Ng said.

Focus on emerging markets

Sportradar will once again be in attendance at this year’s G2E Asia in what has been a compelling 12 months for the industry.

With the legalization of the US betting market, Sportradar will continue to focus its efforts on emerging markets across the world, including Asia, which has been tipped by some to be just as opportune.

Onsite at G2E, the company is looking forward to discussions with event attendees, sharing knowledge on how the US market continues to have repercussions on sports gaming worldwide. This will include key learnings from the States that have enacted betting regulations so far and, from this, the company can offer tips and tricks for bookmakers focused on the emerging Asian market.

Its signature solution, Managed Trading Services (MTS), which provides risk and liability management and user profiling on behalf of the operator, has been picking up at a rapid pace recently in Asia, with more and more interest coming from both existing and new operators. MTS is one of the most popular solutions in established markets due to its ability to help bookmakers of all sizes establish and operate a successful sports book.

This will be further explored at G2E Asia, as well as a new marketing and sponsorship solution, ad:s. A key part of their 360 degree betting portfolio, ad:s can enable Asian-facing operators to tap into various above and belowthe-line marketing opportunities, both within the region and globally. Ultimately, it provides the tools for operators to develop a recognized brand, reputation and trust.

Sportradar’s Gaming Solutions continue to grow in popularity in Asia too. The launch of the Asian Cup Virtual Football solution last year, for example, generated incremental revenues for client operators. This year, they are set to again add to our rich suite of Virtual Sports Betting offerings, and will launch Virtual Baseball and Virtual Cricket, two popular sports in Asia that continue to show increasing demand.

Modern twist on classic formulas

HABANERO

Boasting an ever-growing portfolio of more than 120 HTML titles, Habanero is quickly becoming one of the must-have suppliers for operators around the world.

Focusing on the creation of quality slots and table games that are both entertaining and immersive, a wealth of experience and talent is highlighted within all of its games, including latest release Magic Oak, which challenges players to add a little sparkle to their lives.

Unlike traditional slots, wins are paid when the same icon appears in blocks rather than lines, with wins paid when they meet horizontally and are vertically adjacent.

This modern twist on a classic formula is just one way Habanero keeps ahead of the latest trends and technologies.

This approach to gamification also features in Mount Mazuma which starts as a normal 5x3 title, with palm trees on row one and five as blocker symbols. Randomly however, blockers become unblocked, combining with up to 32x multipliers for more prize eruptions.

Habanero’s titles all feature the latest in high-end graphics and sounds and are created with certain markets in mind as the supplier continues to enhance its global footprint.

Take 5 Lucky Lions, for example. Players are given the chance to pick one of five lucky lions in the bonus round, all of which offer a different number of free spins. The lions operate as multiappearance wilds, as they seek to unearth good luck and fortune.

This use of vibrant colours also features in Hot Hot Fruit, a throwback to the early age of slots, when games were simpler, but with a modern Habanero-style twist.

Habanero is constantly making quality additions to its portfolio and players and operators alike should look out for upcoming releases Lucky Lucky and Wild Trucks.

X Stadium

IDNERD

X Stadium's revolutionary system by idNerd Studio brings customers back on the casino floor to engage in a way that traditional display systems simply cannot.

X Stadium makes the casino & gaming experience look and feel more gratifying than ever before, bringing customers into the seat unintimidated, excited and ready to drop their dollars.

Although there is still a charm to traditional table games, demand for ETG seats has been increasing since its debut in 2000.

The market still had yet to realize its full potential, however, until the arrival of X Stadium in 2017.

Operators that engage with idNerd’s flagship X Stadium product have the capacity to customize and tailor their ETG Stadium Game to meet any number of needs, whether it includes one or more of the following: branding, marketing, seasonal promotions, or - perhaps above all - increasing the Stadium Game ROI.

X Stadium’s latest installment at the LT Games ETG Stadium installation at Sands Macau Casino (April 2019) joins idNerd’s repertoire of successful installations at the MGM Cotai Macau, City of Dreams Macau, Savan Resort Laos, and Venetian Macau.

Future plans for installations across the Asia Pacific are imminent and idNerd Studio is happy to accommodate projects, big or small. Peter Wong, Founder and Managing Director at idNerd Studios, says, “The X Stadium advanced animations display system seamlessly complements any ETG seat, allowing us to bring Stadium Games into their true revenue-generating potential.

We’ve installed the system in landmark casino establishments and it’s extremely user-friendly. It is a true pleasure to see how every customer reacts to the eye-catching content and how it improves the overall ETG gaming experience.”

“Particularly younger demographics who are now frequenting Macau or casinos across the Asia Pacific are more invested in having a good time. How does a casino floor give the visitor that second-to-none experience? Stadium Games are revolutionizing what a casino experience can be, and idNerd is providing the most important face-to-face aspect of it: high-quality content that gets users in the seat and playing.”

Localized innovations

IGT

At G2E Asia IGT will present a range of gaming solutions that reflect the Company’s commitment to localized innovations, and an improving position in Asia.

Approximately 90 percent of the slot games that IGT will showcase will be marketapproved games.

Other standout games within IGT’s G2E Asia stand will include Golden Palace and Treasure Fury, the third title in the Fury family of games.

A key part of IGT’s revitalized portfolio is a strong line-up of standalone games for Asia. Marquee title Star Stax on the CrystalCurve cabinet will be a focal point, along with the Fortune Coin game. Both titles perform well in other gaming markets globally and have been adapted to meet market demands for Asia.

The company will showcase proven video core games such as Scarab, Temple of Fire and Mistress of Egypt on the CrystalDual 27 cabinet. Scarab is a top-performing game in markets around the world, and captivates players with engaging persistence mechanics that re-start every ten wagers. Cash Cove Deluxe and Cash Cove Monster Catch are additional must-play games from IGT. Both games build on the legacy of Singapore market favorite, Cash Cove.
