This year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) returns to Las Vegas, to take place at the Sands Expo and Convention Center from October 14 -17, 2019.

The conference and exhibition is presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by Reed Exhibitions, and is a staple of the global gaming industry’s calendar of events.

The show boasts that it is as being the largest gathering of global, commercial and tribal gaming professionals in North America, with more than 27,000 gaming industry professionals in attendance.

With expanded educational tracks and firsthand experiences with new products, G2E 2019 will cater to everything from traditional casino fare to sports betting and non-gaming amenities to digital products.

Returning to the show this year is the Sports Betting Symposium (SBS), which will gather experts from around the world to share their experience since the United States Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) last May, opening the gates for states and sovereign tribal nations to legalize sports betting and establish safe and effective frameworks for consumers.

“This is a monumental time for sports betting in America, and with so much progress since our inaugural Sports Betting Symposium last year, we’re excited to expand the program to explore the latest in this brand-new U.S. market and continued growth opportunities for states and sovereign tribal nations.”

The conference segment will also place a spotlight on the tribal gaming industry. On the Monday, D.J. Eagle Bear Vanas, the internationally-acclaimed motivational storyteller, leadership speaker and member of the Ottawa Nation will deliver a keynote speech.

“Tribal gaming is a true success story in communities across the country and an essential component of G2E’s educational program,” said Allie Barth, vice president of industry relations for the American Gaming Association.

“D.J. Vanas is a pioneer in the tribal community and is an asset to our tribal gaming educational program,” said Korbi Carrison, G2E’s event director. “We are thrilled to have him share his leadership and intuition with the world’s top gaming leaders at G2E.”

Also featured is the return of G2E Las Vegas’ “Innovation Lab”, a series of fifteen-minute TED-style talks and demo kiosks, where attendees can learn about cutting-edge technologies such as disruptive technology, new uses for existing technology, emerging trends.

“It’s important that we provide a platform to address key topics at G2E that may dramatically affect the gaming landscape,” said Barth. “Now in its fourth year, the Innovation Lab has evolved to inspire conversation and spark creativity on issues like artificial intelligence, cyber defense and more.”

The Innovation Lab will feature 20+ different sessions encompassing innovation and technology throughout the gaming ecosystem.

The exhibition also welcomes 90+ new exhibiting companies at its 2019 show. You can find out what the key suppliers are showcasing at the show this year in the pages that follow.

Betting Trends and Opportunities

DIGITAIN

The ability to offer differentiated pricing and risk across the board across multiple US states and through numerous channels is essential.

With competition for the US heating up, price competition is becoming closer than ever before amongst the major sportsbooks, and as a result, customers are increasingly starting to value their user experience as much as the price.

A sportsbook that can offer the most personalized, easy-to-use customer journey will see far more benefit to the bottom line than any discounted pricing strategy ever can.

Navigation, speed, and functionality are all essential for retention and differentiation. Digitain’s latest mobile tech promises to solve this problem – using React.JS, which provides a seamless UX across just about any platform or device available.

With today’s ever-evolving technologies; data is no longer about assessing risk but rather in taking that information and predicting what do with it. The ‘Netflix Experience’ that is emerging with today’s online customer journey means that a player expects offerings to be tailored to them, with exactly what they want, before it is even demanded – and this is where customer analytics come in.

Its importance cannot be underestimated. We’ve partnered with a specialist AI firm specifically for this purpose – not only to ensure we deliver some of the best predictive AI available in the industry but to ensure we stay miles ahead of the curve when it comes to development.

Data provision and evaluation to ensure this is provided is an essential part of what we do for over 100 platform partners, ensuring they can target the right players, at the right time – pushing content they are most likely to be interested in and removing that which they would rather not see. This again brings us back to the value of the customer in driving higher margins – customer experience – and the value derived from it is what keeps the customer loyal to your brand.

Without it, they’ll go elsewhere.

Pacquiao One Punch gives back to the community

GANAPATI

Here with yet another impactful game is Ganapati. The Global Gaming Awards 2019 nominee for Product Innovation, released Pacquiao One Punch KO, the official Manny Pacquiao slot game, in September 2019.

This slot truly strikes the heart and soul with part of its proceeds going towards the Manny Pacquiao Foundation, in an effort to help the children of the Philippines.

Pacquiao, a senator of the Philippines, is passionate about giving back to his country and the communities he grew up in – a sentiment Ganapati shares.

Pacquiao One Punch KO is definitely a game to try, with several of its elements symbolising luck and fortune – from the red and gold backgrounds, to the number ‘8.’ The number 8 is not only Ganapati’s lucky number, but Manny Pacquiao’s, with each of his three names containing eight letters, and his incredible title being the Octuple Champion.

Pacquiao One Punch KO is a 3x5 cascading slot game with 25 pay lines and 9 symbols. The official Manny Pacquiao slot game gives you the chance to punch your way to a fortune with this living boxing legend – the first and only boxer to win world titles in 8 different weight divisions.

Ganapati pleases yet again with its oneof-a-kind features: with cascading wins, the base game Multiplier can be increased up to 6x; the Free Spins round sees the Multipliers increased by 2, increasing the cascading wins potential to 8x. The knock-out feature of the game is the Octuple Champion Bonus round – 10 Free Spins triggered by 3 or more Bonus symbols – a tribute to Pacquiao’s success.

If there’s any ring you should jump into, it’s Ganapati’s, with Pacquiao One Punch KO!

Hao Yun Lai also includes a symbol-driven integrated progressive delivered through a new Pop n’ Drop Feature.

On the heels of high performance across the big-screen Concerto Opus cabinet, and growing momentum for its award-winning KX 43, Konami is further expanding its cabinet lineup with a never-before-seen, portrait screen machine.
