SUPPLIER SPECIAL REPORT 57 JADE ENTERTAINMENT
Passing GLI evaluation with flying colors
A
s the world continues to adapt and embrace the so-called “new normal,” we are at the stage where technological advancement is taking off and it is no secret that the gaming industry is capitalizing on it. Throughout the pandemic, we have seen an overwhelmingly positive response to remote gaming. And being one of the major players in the industry, JADE Entertainment and Gaming Technologies is constantly living up to the promise of delivering an improved personalized gaming experience. With more than 10 major sports events happening right now, NBA and PBA ongoing, Jade SportsBet will only keep growing thanks to the retail outlets resuming operations as the cities open up and the mobile technology that allows players to enjoy remote play. Just this month, Jade passed the Gaming Laboratories International (GLI-UK) evaluation with flying colors and received its GLI-33 certification for both verticals, SportsBet and Sabong. Following the accreditation, Jade will become more aggressive with its Sabong offering, introducing a shift in the
betting market with exotic jackpots. Jade is optimistic about the coming year, which is expected to be a year of product innovation and system upgrades. New payment gateways will be introduced giving players more options to enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience. While the business goal is to expand operations and attract new players, Jade is also
committed to preserving the wellbeing of its patrons and has strengthened its Responsible Gaming campaign with self-exclusion tools maintaining its social responsibility. While the country is leading to an election year, we are all looking forward to the post-Covid era and participating in the Asian Gaming Summit in Manila in March.
Dave Kubajak, senior VP of sales, marketing and operations. Our creative and dedicated global engineering team released innovations that further helped our customers enhance their guests’ experience, increase efficiencies, and boost security. This year we celebrated the world’s first floor-wide deployment of our landmark FUZION systems technology at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain and Nevada’s first floor-wide deployment at Resorts World Las Vegas. After these wins, we were thrilled when FUZION received the 2021 Innovation Award from the G&L Gaming & Hospitality Annual Industry Awards, recognizing how, with FUZION, JCM again demonstrated original thinking in solving one or more business problems. We were also excited to mark the public debut of our new ICB ASAP system at G2E. ICB ASAP brings robotic automation to the count room, enhances productivity, reduces human contact, boosts security, improves throughput, and increases reliability. It is the first and only automated secure asset
processing solution available in the market, and we were honored when ICB ASAP was shortlisted in the Global Gaming Awards. For 22 years, we have produced the AGEM/AGA Golf Classic as a fundraiser for the International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG). Thanks to the generous support of sponsors and players, the event was a huge success and raised $104,000. Including this year’s total, the event has now raised more than $2.3 million for the ICRG and its important research into problem gambling. Turning our eyes to 2022, we will be helping customers of all sizes with their technology roadmap. As a leader in the global gaming industry, we will double-down on our efforts to connect, listen, and partner with our customers, helping them to create a technology roadmap that will enhance the guest experience, increase efficiencies, and boost security today, tomorrow, and for years to come. From all of us at JCM, best wishes for a successful 2022!
