WELCOME

FROM

YOUR HOST

Gary Roudette CEO, Players Publishing

A warm welcome to you all ahead of our inaugural Global Gaming Awards Asia ceremony. The Awards have been proudly running as the industry’s most prestigious for almost a decade in Las Vegas, and five years in London. Now it’s time for them to extend to Asia, as we venture further than ever before.

The undeniable success of so many Asian companies has now made this an inevitability.

Asia has, of course, been a huge gambling continent for as long as time can remember. But we felt this year was the right time to expand to the region – based on a few factors.

In our existing London and Las Vegas Awards, for example, Asian companies have increasingly been nominated on

merit. The Venetian Macao has also been a memorable past winner at the Global Gaming Awards. Despite the struggles of Macau casinos amid continued Covid-19 effects, other Asian regions are currently prospering.

The Philippines is seeing huge success currently, so too Singapore.

In fact, Las Vegas Sands’ recent Q2 report looked like a set of scales – for every degree it tipped down on the Macau side, it went up in Singapore (home to the Marina Bay Sands).

During the Awards process itself, we have heard from many B2B suppliers across the industry that Asia is a huge priority, and for many a new target for the coming months and years.

That, of course, means inclusion for

A huge congratulations to the Global Gaming Awards on its debut in Asia.

As is no longer a surprise to anyone, Asia is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic markets in the industry right now. BetConstruct would like to wish good luck to all

of this year’s nominees. We are looking forward to an amazing virtual ceremony on 22 August.

Lusine Khudaverdyan Philippines Regional Director, BetConstruct

any company in this Shortlist is a mark of prestige and a measure of success. Just like our Las Vegas and London Awards, the Judging process is stringent, meaning anyone nominated has made the Shortlist purely on merit.

On that note, we thank our esteemed Judges, the Gambling Insider Editorial Team, our Lead Partner BetConstruct, our Adjudicator KPMG in the Crown Dependencies and all those taking part.

In our opinion, these are the best Awards in the industry, rewarding only worthy winners. Good luck everyone!

FROM THE

AWARDS

ADJUDICATOR My first encounter with the Global Gaming Awards was in 2014, when I travelled to G2E to deliver in person the final element of KPMG’s engagement to act as independent adjudicator to the then newly

Official Adjudicator

Micky Swindale Partner, KPMG Global Gaming Team

established Awards – the final ‘on the ground’ check against our own record of category winners; and to attend the Awards ceremony to ensure the right recipient was announced and presented with each Award.

So began a beautiful relationship and, I can easily say, my favourite client job.

Each year since then, it has been my welcome responsibility to join Julian Perry on-stage at the Sands in Las Vegas and, once the London Awards were launched, in the theatre at the Hippodrome. We announce first the runners-up and then, with increasingly dramatic ‘pre-pauses’ as my confidence has built over the years, the winners in every category. Surely accountants were never meant to have this much fun at work?! In recent years, we have of course also moved some Awards ceremony online – including this one – but the event remains as exciting as ever.

We are so delighted that the Global Gaming Awards have now expanded to Asia, and of course there is no change to the voting and adjudication process.

We review the Awards’ system and tools for collecting votes (and ensuring Judges cannot vote in categories where they have a conflict), check that the winner & runner-up in each category has been determined correctly based on votes cast, and select a random sample of judges whom we contact to check the votes recorded in the system are a complete and accurate reflection of their voting.

KPMG’s commitment to and involvement with this sector is, I believe, unparalleled and that is why we so welcome the opportunity to support the Global Gaming Awards. The combination of a thorough selection process, a highly distinguished panel of Judges, and the organisers’ commitment to independent verification of the Judges’ decisions, means any company or individual that makes it to the final Shortlist should be extremely proud – especially in these inaugural Asia Awards.

Bloomberry Resorts Corporation reported gross gaming revenue of PHP8.0bn (US$153m) in the three months to 31 December 2021, representing a 50% year-on-year increase and 13% sequential improvement thanks to a broad easing of Covid-19 restrictions. The company is expanding its gaming footprint and is on track to open its second IR in the Philippines – Solaire North – in 2023.

MGM CHINA

The operator maintained a healthy financial position, especially given Covid-19 restrictions across Macau, and Greater China still limiting travel. MGM China saw Q1 2022 daily gross gaming revenue hit 35% of Q4 2019 levels, outperforming the market with its focus on service and product, coupled with its strength in the premium segment. In the same period, the operator grew its market share to 13.3% compared to 11.5% a year ago.

SJM HOLDINGS

SJM holdings group-wide results showed year-on-year improvement in 2021, with gross gaming revenue up 25.3% to HK$10.37bn (US$1.33bn).

LAS VEGAS SANDS

The company closed the sale of its Las Vegas operating properties earlier this year, shifting its focus to Asia.

GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT

The Macau casino operator moved back into profit in 2021. The company earned HKD1.33bn (US$170m) for 2021, compared to a HK$3.97bn loss for 2020.

finishing off the highly anticipated Phase Two, which is cheduled to complete later this year. Studio City Phase Two will raise the bar for style and luxury in the city, bringing in two new five-star hotel towers, as well as new experiences for visitors.

South Korea’s only casino open to locals narrowed losses during Q1 2022 and remains the country’s leader in terms of annual GGR. Earlier this year, it was also announced that Kangwon Land will invest KRW28.4bn ($23.7m) in a revamp, which includes expanding the size of the casino floor by 10%.

NUSTAR

The new integrated resort in Cebu welcomed its first guests in May, and the Philippines-based resort is already taking shape to become the ultimate leisure destination in the region. So far, the property had only unveiled the North Wing of its gaming floor, but it will be ramping up its gaming operations in the coming months.

IGT - YING CAI SHEN

Ying Cai Shen, produced by IGT’s Asia Pacific studios, is IGT’s best-performing link in Asia. Available on the magnificent CrystalCurve cabinets, it builds player anticipation with its exciting game features and Asian graphics. The art, mechanics and bet structure options (68 and 88 credit cost to cover) are attuned to fit regional players’ preferences. Most recently, Ying Cai Shen hit the casino floor of the Philippines’ new IR – the NUSTAR Resort & Casino.

through the layout, Blaze has proven an exciting addition to any gaming floor; which is why it is present at properties such as Okada Manila and the Grand Lisboa Palace. Blaze Roulette allows casinos to display eye-catching animations, game state prompts and winning numbers, whereas Blaze Sicbo tables feature a countdown clock with large format numbers to clearly illustrate the end of the betting period. This, along with improved visibility of winning sections, allows pit bosses and security staff to easily monitor game procedures from a distance.

JUMBO TECHNOLOGY – OCEAN PHOENIX

The MDX multi-deck electronic shuffler has the capacity to shuffle up to 10 decks of cards, and is the first device on the market capable of sorting multiple decks of cards – with a one to 10-deck sorting capacity. This eliminates the risk of so-called “edge sorting” of the cards, and tackles that risk by randomly rotating the card feeder elevator 180 degrees throughout the shuffle.

The Taiwanese manufacturer released its latest fishing game last year, Ocean Phoenix. A multiplayer game with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, it is available on Jumbo’s ARK-65 GLI six-seater – while the combination of acoustic and visual effects takes player sensation to new levels. Due to the game’s success throughout Asia, Jumbo Technology recently partnered with US supplier Gaming Arts to bring Ocean Phoenix to the American market.

SEGA SAMMY CREATION – LUCKY FRUITS LINKS SERIES

The product debuted at one of Macau’s finest casinos.

ARUZE GAMING – MUSO CURVE-43 HYBRID

Enhancing the gaming experience, the Muso Curve-43 Hybrid features breathtaking images on a vertical 43-inch, J-style curved LCD monitor, with a 27-inch LCD monitor topper.

Popular games on the Muso Curve-43 Hybrid include Pachincoin Money Lab and Pachincoin Jackpot Circus (launched last year).

KONAMI – ALL ABOARD – DYNAMITE DASH

The Konami slot, available on the DIMENSION 27 and DIMENSION 49F cabinets, recently hit the gaming floors of City of Dreams Macau and Mocha Clubs, after proving successful in Australia and North America. The game features four mixed amount bonuses and one SAP or link progressive Jackpot, with the “All Aboard” feature triggered whenever six or more “train” symbols appear.

table game of the year INTERBLOCK – UNIVERSAL CABINET

Interblock’s latest lineup of innovative hardware is the Universal Cabinet (UC), a breakthrough form factor that has created a gaming revolution.

The beauty of Dragon Sic Bo from a player’s perspective is the ability to utilise multipliers of 2X, 3X, 5X 8X, or a random selection from the four multiplier options, with the possibility of winning on a specific triple at 150-to-1 multiplied by 8X.

LIGHT & WONDER – DRAGON TAIL BACCARAT ON THE QUARTZ™ STANDALONE

This is a standalone ETG that was popular even before the pandemic.

However, as it allows players to socially distance while still enjoying their favorite features from the hugely popular card game, the ETG became even more popular during the pandemic. There are a few features that are particularly interesting, such as the ability to build your own trend line or histogram with no wager and the card squeeze feature (albeit a digital one).

Last year, Light & Wonder unveiled its latest ETG – the Quartz Standalone, with Dragon Tail Baccarat being the first game to launch on the cabinet. Dragon Tail Baccarat is the first title to launch on the Quartz Standalone cabinet.

This game provides a unique player experience with exciting features, such as the Free Hand feature that enables players to find “Hot Shoes” or trends; and an immediate results or “Bang Up” feature on the player touch screen.

Players can choose from multiple games of live roulette and baccarat linked with live camera feeds from around the gaming floor, as well as RNG options.

NOVOMATIC – NOVO LINE NOVO UNITY II

The unique feature of this ETG is the flexible interconnection of a variety of electronic live games and slot games on a virtually unlimited number of individual player stations. This allows operators to link any chosen number of terminals to different games such as Baccarat, Poker, Black Jack, Roulette and Sic Bo as well as a great slot games offering within one installation.
