From the Editor:

I’M WRITING this Editor’s Note in Las Vegas from a vibrant and busy G2E. It’s the first G2E I’ve attended in a number of years, and what struck me most about attending a gaming trade show - along with the need to view the latest gaming products and trends - was the invaluable role a trade show plays in the ecosystem of the gaming industry.

Often the intangible ROI from a gaming event extends beyond the simplistic definition of slot machines sold, deals done and bottom-line profit. It extends to networking, keeping updated with new developments and creating lasting business relationships. As I took in the atmosphere at G2E, the big talking point was sportsbetting - which is now live in 5 states across the USA - and the infusion in energy and business that this new development is bringing to the industry in America. This exciting development has energised other sectors of the industry too - spurring new growth and developments.

Another major theme at this year’s G2E has been the realisation that technology will be a huge factor in improving operations for casino and gambling operators, as well as Integrated Resorts and Hospitality sectors. Hotel and casino operators - and that shared middle ground of integrated resorts - need to realise that they are sitting on vast amounts of data that can be used to improve customer loyalty, and that the technology now exists to easily analyze that data, and use technologies like AI, Business Intelligence and IoT to improve operational efficiency, profits and increase sustainability goals.

You will probably be reading this at ICE Africa - where the pan-African gaming community will be gathering for the first pan-African gaming trade show, the likes of which have never been seen before. A fully African event brought by the professional team that does ICE London, and that will offer the best of what Clarion does well - great conference content, top-level delegates across all sectors, and a diverse mix of gaming suppliers and manufacturers looking to service the burgeoning African gaming industry.

Another important factor that makes ICE Africa unmissable - is the need to create among gambling operators’ junior to middle level-management (the folks who don’t normally to get an opportunity to travel to London or Vegas with their senior managers or CEO’s) the product knowledge, skills transfer and relationship building for the future that often only resides with senior staff and is found sorely lacking when those senior staff move on.

This show represents the gaming business interests of 24 African countries and 89 nations worldwide - what a great way to begin the journey to building the knowledge and relationships that will prove to be invaluable to your gaming business.

It’s ICE Africa Show Time!

SUNCOAST recently opened the opulent ‘Art Deco’ inspired Salon Privé, located on the upper level, with 180 degree sea views. The level of craftsmanship and the trend setting design make the Privé a world class gaming experience.

This however, is only one aspect of the development that has been underway for the last 18 months.

Suncoast’s new Salon Privé marks the Beginning of a New Era “THE JOURNEY so far has been a long road, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now just a few months away,” comments Mike Dowsley,” SUNCOAST Executive Director, “we are now firmly focused on the logistics that are required for the completion of the project which is scheduled for early December.”

Suncoast’s significant redevelopment has resulted in job creation and unique opportunities. This development is testimony to Tsogo Sun’s continued commitment to economic growth in Durban. Once complete, the development will provide Durban with a multitude of new entertainment options that will include retail, dining and event facilities at SUNCOAST, an attraction for both local and international visitors.

The project started with the refurbishment of the Wimpy, then the expansion and refurbishment of the Mugg and Bean. This was followed by the opening of Billy G, now a very popular buffet restaurant amongst Durbanites. The food court and take-away restaurants received a facelift while the existing gaming floor was Continued to page 4

“There is no doubt that we, and our guests, have experienced some challenges with continuing operations while conducting the refurbishment, but it will all be worth it once this exciting project is complete,” says Louise Howell, SUNCOAST Marketing Manager, “We have recently publicised the opening of Durban’s new Barnyard Theatre in early December and this will be accompanied by the introduction of seven additional restaurants as well as The Suncoast Globe, our new events facility!”

Work is currently underway in the retail section and the construction teams are getting to the final phases for completion of the casino floor.

On completion of the project SUNCOAST would have increased its floor space

to 46 306m² with an improved offering including 22 restaurants & food outlets, the Barnyard Theatre, updated and enhanced children’s entertainment facilities, a 2200m² multi-purpose event facility and increased underground parking. For the gamer, there will be a total of 1850 slots and 71 tables.

As always and throughout this journey the Suncoast team continue to focus on innovation and continuous improvements to service, ensuring that Suncoast isn’t just a world class product but also a world class experience.

“We are grateful for the continued support of our patrons during this period, and we are sure that they will agree that the end result will certainly be worth the wait.

Durban’s most loved entertainment destination is taking entertainment to the next level,” says Mike Dowsley.

GLI Africa brings Africa’s with Unparalleled As the continent turns its attention to the first ICE Africa trade show, it’s interesting to note the event’s tagline: “Africa’s first gaming event to bring 21 African nations under one roof.”

GLI AFRICA® shares the same philosophy. As a premiere testing laboratory GLI brings Africa’s gaming nations, and indeed the world, under one roof with unparalleled solutions for regulators, suppliers, and operators.

GLI ® has been providing world-class customer service on the continent for more than 15 years. Since it opened its first lab, the company has grown to more than 50 staff members, from testing and certification engineers to regulatory experts. Now the experts will be on stand #1101 at ICE Africa to discuss the full portfolio of services provided. Gaming for Africa recently caught up with GLI Africa for a preview.

“Some people think of GLI as just a test lab. While that’s a critically important service we provide, it is just one of the dozens of services we offer to regulators, suppliers, and operators that help maintain the public trust and help the gaming industry remain competitive with other entertainment offerings,” said Devon Dalbock, general manager for GLI Africa.

Dalbock oversaw GLI Africa’s recent move to its new, larger location in Gauteng, South Africa. He explained the reason for the move this way: “Quite simply, our clients’ demands for our services outgrew our current structure, both in terms of the physical location and in the number of staff. We moved to our new location to keep pace with demand, which required more staff across the range of services we offer as well as more testing space. This also allowed us to increase our capacity and further reduce testing turnaround times.”

That expansion also had a positive impact on the local economy.

“GLI is committed to our host communities around the world, and as we expanded, we made hiring locally a priority. This is also good for our clients because it gives us the ability to provide a world of services with local insight.”

A key piece of ICE Africa will be sports betting. The gambling market for South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria has an estimated worth of

08 I Gaming For Africa I

October / November 2018

$37 billion, with 2 million individuals expected to use online sports betting regularly. That means providing players with the latest technologies is as critical to success, as the testing and regulatory structure which accompanies it.

Today, the mobile and retail devices and systems used in African sports betting primarily come from suppliers in Europe. Until recently, these suppliers needed to be concerned with a variety of standards governing the devices and systems. That began to change in August 2018, when GLI released its new GLI-33: Event Wagering Systems technical standard. GLI-33 represents the most highly developed set of technical requirements and practices available for sports wagering systems.

The standard was developed over the course of a year, and GLI dedicated 75 Technical Compliance staff, Regulatory Service staff, and Supplier Services staff to pool standards and knowledge from across the globe. Those included portions of the documents from South African Bureau of Standards (SABS); the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI); British Columbia Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (GPEB); Danish Gambling Authority; Nevada Gaming Commission and Gaming Control Board; Northern Territory Racing Commission; Spanish Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ); Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission; and Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation.

“Existing regulations were very good; however, there were certain discrepancies and variations that could have stood in the way of supplier innovation and end-user acceptance. We collaborated directly with regulators, technology providers, and operators to ensure GLI-33 represents the most highly developed standards and best practices in existence today. This will help suppliers, such as those in Europe who sell into the African sports betting industry, by providing one common standard to develop and test to,” Dalbock said.

The new GLI-33 Standard has added a great deal of clarity in numerous areas. For example, it eliminates subjective criteria in analyzing and certifying Event Wagering Systems, giving both suppliers and regulators an equal baseline for evaluation, while also distinguishing between local public policy and independent test laboratory criteria. The standard also helps regulators to ensure wagers on events are fair, secure, and able to be audited and operated correctly so that the public trust is maintained.

Among its many areas, the standard examines best practices

Gaming Nations together Industry Solutions

concerning three major areas of event wagering technology: point-ofsale wagering devices, self-service wagering device, and remote wagering devices. The standard then examines and puts forth best practices applying to operators, suppliers, and to players. For example, one chapter is dedicated exclusively to player account management, including player registration and player account controls, such as age and identity verification, privacy, self-imposed limits and others.

The GLI standard was deliberately written to easily accommodate future evolutions in technology. Sport and event wagering technologies will continue to change, and regulators must also be willing to evolve in methodical, reasoned ways that simultaneously allow for the embrace of new technologies while protecting and maintaining the public trust.

Upon its release, several regulatory bodies and industry experts immediately adopted and/or endorsed the new standard, including the Choctaw Gaming Commission of Choctaw Mississippi, the West Virginia Lottery, Cherokee Tribal Gaming Commission of North Carolina, and Global Market Advisors.

“GLI-33 is just the latest example of why regulators, suppliers, and operators turn to GLI for their sports betting needs. Customers across Africa and around the world rely on GLI because they understand we are the subject matter experts and have deep market knowledge, including local knowledge and localized relationships with regulators,” Dalbock said.

GLI’s services to the sports betting industry include testing and certification, ISS audits, penetration testing, and cybersecurity solutions.

“Of course our clients can benefit from each of these services, not limited to sports betting,” Dalbock said.

Perhaps the most urgent need common to regulators, operators, and suppliers is cybersecurity. “Data is money, it’s as simple as that. No one would place $1 million on a restaurant table and then just walk away. However, metaphorically speaking, that is exactly what regulators, suppliers, and operators of all sizes are doing with unchecked and unmonitored cybersecurity. “ “Criminals today are smart, savvy, and dedicated to their craft, which means security must be embedded in every organizations’ core business framework. Cybercrime is growing every day in scope and number of victims, and that equates to threats to private or intellectual property. The increasing fallout associated with security incidents such as reputational risk and damage to customer data, makes ignoring these risks a financially and operationally risky game,” Dalbock said.

Among GLI’s many cybersecurity offerings are its Security Operations Center, which offers security as a service. This center, also known as the SOC, provides a broader piece of mind with features such as: 24×7 monitoring, security event detection, and security incident response (detect, protect, respond).

Actionable intelligence where staff analyze and correlate events from

multiple source logs through a highly advanced and Gartner Magic Quadrant-leading Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution: IBM QRadar.

Threat intelligence with the ability to correlate and respond to important systems including intrusion detection systems, endpoint protection solutions, firewalls, servers, and other key systems. For example, the SOC team can identify and investigate suspicious network traffic by relying on real-time security data analytics.

The ability to supplement a company’s internal security team by offering around-the-clock network security monitoring.

“Cybersecurity isn’t a game. The threats are real and can cause large and lasting damage to a company’s financial statement and its reputation. For the larger gaming industry, this is also a question of the public trust, and when that is eroded anywhere through cybercrime, it sends large waves of impact throughout the entire industry,” Dalbock said.

In addition to its work for regulators and operators, suppliers are a key area of support for GLI. Indeed, the company is globally known as the “export expert” because its supplier services are designed to help suppliers take their products to jurisdictions worldwide, such as European suppliers who bring their sports betting products to Africa.

“Our message to suppliers is clear: Wherever you want to take your product, we have a solution to get you there. GLI is the only lab that can take suppliers everywhere in the world. You could literally throw a dart at a world map, and if there’s gaming in the country where the dart lands we have a solution that can help because GLI is the only private lab whose certifications are accepted in every jurisdiction.”

GLI Africa’s statistics underscore how its local commitment blends with the company’s global reach: • GLI has provided almost 1,500 projects for the African gaming industry, 304 so far in 2018.

• GLI certified nearly 2,000 reports since 1989; 197 so far in 2018 • GLI has completed 2,947,716 requests to more than 475 jurisdictions globally since GLI’s inception “We test right the first time, saving suppliers money, and our quality testing means suppliers get to market faster, all for less money and with less risk,” Dalbock said. “The reason for all of that is what truly separates GLI from other independent test labs, and that is our quality, our people, and our commitment to our customers. That is what GLI Africa has been known for over the last 15 years, and we are grateful to each of our clients who have supported us.”

17 Dealers Go Head to Head in the Tsogo Sun Dealer Championship at Garden Route Casino To celebrate the seventh annual Tsogo Sun Dealer Championship, the host property, Tsogo Sun’s Garden Route Casino, was transformed into the MS Garden Route with a nautical theme for the event. The Championship which took place on the 19th of September 2018, saw 17 dealers from all 13 Tsogo Sun casinos around the country coming to compete for the coveted top spot in this competition.

THE DEALER Championship got underway at two roulette tables and two blackjack tables that each had beautiful beach-themed layouts and were sponsored by TCS John Huxley.

Managers from the various casinos within the Tsogo Sun group tested the skills and knowledge of the 17 dealers who were then scored using an online app that was specially created by the Tsogo Sun IT Development team.

At a glittering gala dinner in the Bravo Lounge, the top five dealers were called upon to present a prepared speech and also answer an unprepared question. In first place was Tebogo Mokwa from Silverstar Casino who took home

R10,000; Sinazo Madlanga from Hemingway’s Casino who walked away with the R5,000 second place prize and Danie van der Merwe from Caledon Casino in third place who won R3,000. “The bar is raised higher every year and this is a reflection of the high calibre of dealers we have in Tsogo Sun. No longer is the job purely about technical skills, but customer interaction and knowledge of the property have become a minimum requirement. Tsogo Sun dealers are on a par with the best in the World,” said Steve Hight, Director of Gaming for Tsogo Sun. Hayley Brugger, Gaming Manager at Garden Route Casino, says: “We are very honoured

to have hosted the event that has become a highlight of the Tsogo Sun calendar. I am especially proud of my team who made this event spectacular for those attending. Lastly a huge thank you to Nicci Smith and her team at TCSJOHNHUXLEY for once again supporting the event.”

Nicci Smith, TCSJOHNHUXLEY Managing Director Africa further comments, “Once again, we are privileged to be a part of this significant annual gaming event in which we can celebrate Tsogo Sun’s most accomplished dealers. Congratulations to Tebogo Mokwa and thank you Ryan and Hayley for hosting a spectacular event.”

No Room to Hide for Illegal Gambling says NorthWest Gambling Board THE SOUTH African Police Service (SAPS) working hand in glove with the North-West Gambling Board have clamped down on two Illegal Gambling operations in the Rustenburg Local Municipality in the Bojanala Platinum District.

The operations have been fronting as Internet Café’s while various methods of Illegal Gambling operations were taking place behind closed doors.

The raid which was conducted by SAPS uncovered and confiscated over one hundred and fifty (150) computers used for diverse Illegal Gambling modes. The Chief Executive Officer of the NW Gambling Board, Mr. Nathan Oliphant says this is a step in the right direction in dealing with the scourge of Illegal Gambling in the province.

“Our problem with Illegal Gambling transcend the revenue we lose to these rogue operations. Our concern is that these sites have been a haven for criminal activities such as money laundering, human and drug

trafficking. Police must act on these people and there shouldn’t be any place to hide” said Oliphant.

The North-West Gambling Board loses close to thirty million rands in taxes and levies per annum due to Illegal Gambling operations. Mr Oliphant maintains a more robust approach is needed to deal with Illegal Gambling.

The Board is currently on a massive media campaign aimed at educating unsuspecting punters about the dangers of gambling at unlicensed gambling operations. Among others the initiative includes Responsible Gambling campaigns and a radio drama on Illegal Gambling to caution the public to be safe and gamble only at licensed gambling operations. The radio drama is currently running on four community radio stations across the province.

DRGT™ makes a Grand Investment in Africa DR Gaming Technology™ and Grand Parade Investments establish DRGT™ Africa

Charl Geyser and Hassen Adams shake hands on a deal well done, and the creation of DRGT Africa.

IN A mutually beneficial transaction, that meets the strategic expansion and investment goals of privately-owned global gaming and jackpot technology systems solution provider DR Gaming Technology™ and JSE-listed investment holding company Grand Parade Investments, the companies have acquired Simplicit-e Gaming Solutions and established DRGT™ Africa.

‘We have enjoyed significant success over the last 5 years in Europe and Africa, as well as in Latin America, and the Caribbean, where over the last 10 months, in addition to our regional office in Lima, we have opened a further three offices in Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay’, said DRGT™ CEO, Jurgen De Munck, ‘...,at the same time, we were also looking to invest directly in Africa. Simplicit-e Gaming Solutions, our existing African distributor, presented the perfect opportunity to do just that.’

GPI in turn, remains a strategically opportunistic investor, particularly in respect of renowned global brands wishing to invest and operate in Africa. With its shareholding in both GrandWest Casino in Cape Town and Golden Valley Casino in Worcestor, as well as its stake in national Limited Payout Machine (LPM) operator SunSlots, a further investment in the gaming sector made perfect sense, specifcally considering DRGT™s systems and jackpot bias. ‘We see this venture as a vertical integration of our gaming assets, and look forward to leveraging our new systems investment across our existing gaming operations portfolio’, said GPI Executive Chairman, Hassen Adams.

With the expansion of the South African (and African) gaming sector, particlularly in the electronic bingo sector, DRGT™ has been able to entrench itself more and more as the systems service provider of choice through its relationships with the Gold Rush Group, Millionaire’s Gaming Africa and Caesars Entertainment’s Emerald Resort and Casino, not to mention the significant South African success across Sun International of its Duma, Sun Striker and Lion’s Share wide-area progressive jackots.

As the supplier of arguably the world’s largest number of possible jackpot configurations, including mystery and linked progressive jackpots, the extension of the Company’s slots jackpot success to tables was the obvious next step. Over the last 24 months, DRGT™ has developed, tested, and had approved what has now become the most profitable Tables Jackpot game on the African continent. BlackJack11’s is a fast, simple and easy to learn side-bet game that is presently performing exceptionally well across both the Sun International and Peermont Casino Groups, as well as in other venues across the globe like the Hippodrome in the U.K., as well as Grand Kaz in the Seychelles, Monterey in Mexico, and a number of casinos in Belgium and Cyprus.

‘For all intents and purposes, Simplicit-e will continue to operate as 18 I Gaming For Africa I October / November 2018

is, but as DRGT™ Africa’, noted Charl Geyser, the founder and Managing Director of Simplicit-e Gaming Solutions, ‘....we will continue to service all of our clients as before, and look forward to leverging our new relationship with DRGT™ and GPI; building on what we have already created, whilst leveraging GPI’s continental relationships, and the amazing ‘player first’ products DRGT™ continues to develop’.

De Munck added: ‘Charl and I have a long-standing relationship, he’s been our African distributor for almost a decade, and the transaction made perfect sense to both of us. Our investment and global presence will assist what was Simplicit-e Gaming to now grow at an even faster rate; both he and Hassen have amazing associations and networks across particularly the African and Australasian continents, and that aligns perfectly to our global strategy’.

The transaction remains subject to all relevant local Gambling Board approvals.

National Gambling Amendment Bill presented to Portfolio Committee Softer stance on online gambling from ANC Portfolio Committee members THE DTI presented the South African National Gambling Amendment Bill to the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry recently. While government is still officially opposed to legalising online gaming, of particular interest during the parliamentary session was a possible softening of attitudes around online gambling.

“The dti maintained their view that online gambling should remain illegal however there appeared to be a major shift in thinking amongst the ANC members of the committee who felt that online gambling should be regulated and that the dti should review their position on it,” says Adheera Bodasing of Polarity Consulting, renowned gambling law expert and former member of the Gambling Review Commission.

The draft bill seeks to: • Amend the National Gambling Act, of 2004, so as to amend certain definitions.

• Reposition the National Gambling Board to be a National Gambling Regulator.

• Transfer the regulation of bets on the national lottery, foreign lottery, lottery results and sports pools to the National Lotteries Commission.

• Prohibit dog racing and bets on dog racing.

• Strengthen the regulation of casinos, limited pay-out machines and bingo.

• Provide for the procedure for the forfeiture of unlawful winnings to the National Gambling Regulator.

• Provide for broad -based black economic empowerment in the gambling industry.

• Recognise self-regulation in the horseracing industry.

• Impose gambling advertising restrictions.

• Regulate the electronic form of bingo.

• Enhance the powers and duties of the Adheera Bodasing gambling inspector.

• Provide for matters connected therewith.

The Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry has called for written submissions on the National Gambling Amendment Bill. The committee also intends on holding public hearings on the Bill. The purpose of the bill is to amend and delete certain definitions in the National Gambling Act of 2004, to transfer the regulation of bets on the national lottery, foreign lotteries, lottery results and sports pools to the National Lotteries Commission.

Public hearings have been scheduled for 30 and 31 October 2018.

TCSJOHNHUXLEY develops exciting new progressive side bet in partnership with Tsogo Sun The new spectacular Privé at Suncoast Casino, which was launched on 31st July 2018, boasts a five-star experience including an exclusive open-air sundeck with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean.

Tsogo Sun has ensured only the finest finishes and service is on offer.

The casino also presents the very first tables in the world to feature the new and exciting Blackjack Elite progressive.

POWERED BY TCSJOHNHXULEY’s popular bonusing system, Blackjack Elite will be available exclusively for customers to enjoy in the Tsogo Sun estates.

Fortuna Dougherty, Tables Manager, Suncoast Casino says “It has only been a few weeks since the launch of the Blackjack Elite Progressive and it has already returned very positive feedback from our valued customers. This is also an exciting new offering to our out of town guests over the busy upcoming festive season”.

The Blackjack Elite side bet gives players the opportunity to win one of five different jackpots or pay-outs, with the top progressive, which starts with a base value of R100 000, being won when both the Player and Dealer are dealt a Blackjack of the same suit. The Jackpots are also able to climb even further as they are also linked across multiple tables within the Privé, including mystery Jackpots that are randomly triggered to any player who has placed a valid Blackjack bet and a Blackjack Elite progressive side bet.

Steve Hight, Gaming Director, Tsogo Sun commented “When we decided to develop a new progressive Blackjack side bet for use across our estate, the collaboration with TCSJOHNHUXLEY was a natural extension to our ongoing partnership and use of their bonusing system. TCSJOHNHUXLEY supported the development through their relationship with overseas expertise and their understanding of our requirements. This extended to support and assistance in receiving GLI and NRCS approvals – a one stop service – thank you to Nicci and the global team of TCSJOHNHUXLEY”.

Blackjack Elite can now also be found at Silverstar Casino, Blackrock Casino, Hemingway’s Casino and Gold Reef City Casino.

Montecasino stays ahead of the gaming game Changing consumer trends and a tough economic environment for the majority of the population impacts many industry sectors. Gaming is one of them, says Kamal Parbhoo, Montecasino Slots Manager. “To stay ahead of the game, we must constantly monitor and manage every corner of the casino floor to ensure optimal turnover and maximum customer enjoyment and entertainment.”

Kamal Parbhoo Slots Manager at Montecasino

THE MONTECASINO gaming floor (https://www. tsogosun.com/montecasino/gaming) is divided into three sections – the main casino floor, the smoking casino, and the Privé (https://www. tsogosun.com/montecasino/gaming/salonprive) for high rollers – with a total of 1 700 slot machines (https://www.tsogosun.com/montecasino/gaming/slots), which account for about 70% of the casino’s revenue.

Parbhoo has a staff of 182 and is responsible for ensuring that the slots department achieves its targets and maintains growth, and that it remains in line with Tsogo Sun’s strategic objectives, while also maintaining ‘game integrity’ for players.

He says trends in slots playing have shifted over the last few years, which is driven by our customers who ultimately dictate the supply

and demand on offer, primarily to higher volatility slots games where the stakes tend to be a bit higher and the wins bigger. “Overall, the cost of a spin, which is variable and based on the customers risk versus reward strategy, and the number of lines on slot machines have increased, which has impacted turnover in the casino. The trick for us is to make sure that we have the right balance of machines in the right positions at all times,” says Parbhoo.

It remains fascinating that some of the older slots games – Geisha, Queen of the Nile, Pompeii – have continued to have high appeal on the casino floor for decades.

In the Privé, which accounts for a large percentage of the casino’s turnover, the ‘entertainment’ value is on big wins from the slots machines, rather than on the games, the graphics, the stories, and the flashing lights and ringing bells.

The smoking casino too, attracts the more serious gamer and is a popular area, with only 25% of the floor space, which is according to gaming legislations. “Regulations restrict the space we can allocate to a smoking section, which means we need to optimise every square centimetre to make sure it delivers a great experience and that we have the best product in the area and as much product as possible.”

“As with all businesses, we need to prioritise on our budget and available capital to make sure that we are getting the optimum returns. Based on close analysis of monthly stats, we make decisions to eliminate inefficiencies throughout the floor, which are where our customers are not playing due to no longer enjoying a particular product,” Parbhoo says.

Another area that is an absolute non-negotiable and is crucial to the casino’s ongoing success is compliance. “Gaming is an exceptionally regulated environment and we need to stay on top of compliance with every machine all the time, or we run the risk of compromising our gaming licence. Every machine must be set exactly according to what we applied for – it means that we are strict with our self-regulation and conduct our own internal audits to make sure there is no chance of human error.”

Parbhoo, who has been Slots Manager at Montecasino since January 2015, first joined Tsogo Sun at Suncoast in 2002 as a Surveillance Specialist. He worked his way up to Slots Manager at Suncoast in May 2011, before moving to Montecasino.

He says, “I have been fortunate to have played a role in the transformation of the gaming floor at Montecasino, which is fresh and appealing and accessible, and with the Privé, which in my mind is probably the most valuable piece of gaming floor per square metre in this country.”

Parbhoo adds that with a complex such as Montecasino, Tsogo Sun’s flagship entertainment destination, the business must be viewed holistically. “All the offerings and management of the property work together, with different events and attractions bringing feet in, who are then likely to extend the entertainment into other areas, such as in the casino. Likewise, a massive casino promotion offering big prizes will bring players in, who are then likely to stay for a meal or a drink. Being aware of the ‘big picture’ of events, offers, festivals, and promotions at Montecasino ensures smoother planning in the casino.”

Nigerian Colossus Daar Group Signs Partnership With Btobet BTOBET CONTINUES to increase its global presence, with Nigerian communications colossus Daar Group partnering with BtoBet to enter the Nigerian market with its “234bet” brand. Thanks to this strategic partnership, DAAR aims to become a leader and a point of reference to the local betting and gaming industry.

Raymond Dokpesi, owner of 234Bet, has stated that BtoBet’s advanced technologies coupled with its vast experience in the region made them the ideal partners to launch their operations, and in due process this has considerably reduced the time to market. He further added that Daar Communications’ vision to establish itself as a leader in its field shares common ground with BtoBet’s reputation as one of the major players in the industry, constantly striving to

not only improve its technologies but also to anticipate the industry’s future scenarios.

He further added that “partnering with BtoBet and making use of their advanced platforms will enable 234Bet to place the player at the center of its operations, offering them the best possible betting experience.”

First African-owned Racecourse Launched THE RANDJESFONTEIN Training Centre in Johannesburg has been bought by powercouple Tumelo and Celeste Matsose and has been rebranded The Bull Ring - a stylish new racecourse, restaurant and event venue in Randjesfontein, Midrand.

This tranquil space nestled in the heart of horse country north of Johannesburg is set to accommodate a host of events. Horse racing enthusiasts will flock to enjoy the fixtures that will be added to and complement the horse racing calendar, while corporates can rent the race track and land as well as the chic new restaurant, The Bull Ring Grill and Bar, for events ranging from car launches to year end functions or sporting events.

The 150 seater Bull Ring Grill and Bar boasts a stylish industrial chic look and an extensive menu, which caters for all occasions – from business lunches and after work drinks and tapas, to chilled family dinners and nights out with the boys. Or if you are in the mood for a tantalising cold one and a great vibe, you can enjoy one of the best craft beers Jozi has to offer, Bullish Craft Beer – always on tap and ready to compliment any meal.

Dynamic husband and wife duo, Tumelo and Celeste Matsose, recently bought

what was previously the Randjesfontein Training Centre with a view to turning it into the hip and happening space that it has now become.

“We envisaged a lively locale where people could mingle and have fun in a relaxed outdoor setting out in the country and away from the city. One of the things we loved about the property is the sheer size of it, which provides the flexibility for clients to use the space in a vast variety of ways. They can utilise the existing infrastructure of the Grill and Bar, spill out into the more casual beer garden terrace outside, or we can bring in infrastructure to host massive events on the expansive lawns and racetrack,” says Celeste.

“We have ambitious plans for The Bull Ring and look forward to hosting many thrilling events here. Think Pimms and lemonades or vast coolers of champagne on ice, as the well-heeled enjoy a day at the races, or families and friends enjoying the weekend Farmer’s Markets we have planned,” she adds.

The Bull Ring Grill and Bar is open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays, and breakfast, lunch and dinner on weekends and public holidays. The premises is fully licensed and the extensive menu is reasonably priced. www.thebullringsa.co.za

Nigerian Government Fury as Illegal Operators Siphon Off a Trillion Naira Annually Vows to Stamp out Illegals The Nigerian Federal Government has started moves aimed at putting an end to the activities of illegal lottery operators, which leave losses amounting to more than one tril ion Naira annually. To this end, the federal government through the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) is to police unauthorized online games.

NATIONAL LOTTERY Regulatory Commission is also considering on one hand to enlist the help of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to monitor the payment settlement services to unauthorized lottery operations; and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on another to ban illegal lottery and gambling activities on GSM networks. It will be recalled that Mr Bello Maigari, acting executive secretary, National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has last week raised alarm over the activities of illegal lottery operators.

Maigari, said that there were many lottery operators in the country without a licence, adding that this has resulted to leakages in terms of what they were supposed to remit to the trust fund. “Nigerian government is losing more than one trillion Naira every year because of illegal operators. There are a lot of illegal operators in the industry and these are part of the reasons why there are leakages. Some are conducting this business without being regulated and there are chances that such proceeds will be channelled towards crime, fraud and money laundering,” he said.
