From the Editor:
Interest in ICE Africa Surges Interest in Africa’s largest gambling trade event - ICE Africa - is surging from delegate registrations and exhibitors, as October 24 & 25 approaches. While the event is just over 5 months away, the early surge in interest underscores the importance of a professionally run gambling trade event. From casino gaming, sportsbetting, bingo to lotteries, slots, tables, payments and all gaming-related technologies and horse-racing, mobile and bookmaking, the inaugural ICE Africa will bring together the African gaming landscape under one-roof. As Clarion’s Kate Chambers, the driving force behind the success of ICE Totally Gaming in London, sums it up: “The response to ICE Africa has been nothing short of outstanding. All the feedback we are receiving is hugely positive and from talking with stakeholders there is a profound and genuine enthusiasm for this event which will take the characteristics of its mother brand - ICE London – and apply them to meet the specific needs of the industry throughout Africa. Our pledge, as the leading event organiser in the gaming space, is to deliver a celebration of the industry that is unique to the continent.” ICE Africa will offer a comprehensive Agenda covering all aspects of gaming, as well as an expanded offering to cover Integrated Resorts and all aspects of running an Integrated Resort - from Marketing, CRM, Business Intelligence to F&B, and Cash-Handling among others. World-class casino, gambling and regulatory training from UNLV’s International Center for Gaming Regulation and Totally Gaming Academy will also form part of the mix at this great event.

North West Gambling Board Appoints New Chief Executive Officer The North-West Gambling Board has appointed Mr. Nathan Oliphant as its new Chief Executive Officer. Mr Oliphant’s was appointed following the departure of Mr Fortune Sekgaphane whose tenure ended in January this year. MR SEKGAPHANE led the Board from 2008-2018 and was instrumental in many of its successes. The Board’s Legal Manager Mr. Jacob Montshioa was holding the fort during the transition phase and is credited for stabilizing the organization during this period. Mr. Oliphant comes with a wealth of experience in both the public and private sector. He held several positions in Eskom and exited as Industry Support Manager responsible for the NorthWest province. He joined the Department of Finance,Economy and Enterprise in the North West as its Chief of Staff and later Acting Chief Director in Economic Development. He has led various organization and institutions aimed at empowering women and young people in various sectors of the economy. High on the agenda in his new role is to look at creating opportunities for the Previously Disadvantaged in the gambling industry. “We need to measure the impact that the gambling industry has in our socioeconomic discourse as a province. Has it been able to contribute in addressing the 04 I Gaming For Africa I April / May 2018
challenges of poverty and unemployment. Has it been able to create opportunities for the poor, downtrodden or previously disadvantaged either through job opportunities or direct ownership” said Mr. Oliphant. Mr. Oliphant further maintains that he will be focusing his energies on dealing with the scourge of illegal gambling particularly in the western region of the province where it continues to show a stubborn presence despite efforts to curb it. “I will schedule meetings with our licenses, provincial head of police, the Hawks and devise ways and means on how we can deal with illegal gambling. Government is being robbed of taxes and levies by these unscrupulous people. Some of these operations are a haven for criminal activities such as drug and human trafficking.” Efforts to transform the industry are overshadowed by illegal gambling activities, Mr Oliphant maintains. “We need to be tough and swift in our actions, or else by tomorrow we will end up with an industry riddled with corrupt and crooked people.”

Annual Fun Bowls Day FOR THE third year, Novomatic Africa and GameSmart hosted one of a kind annual bowls event. Things got tense at the finals where two unbeaten teams went head to head till the end when it was all square. A Sudden death playoff was initiated with only 18 balls spare to determine the 1st prize winner. It was nail-biting with Bernard Hunter from the Gold Hackers team, pushing the jack away from its opponents. With only two balls left Ian Mossop from the Beach Bums team managed to secure a one ball lead on his opponents. All pressure was on Brett Jooste to better on Ian’s ball placing. The crowd were on their feet. After several consultations with his team and looking for the right gap, Brett bowled a magnificent shot. With both balls next to the jack it was a close call and an official of the Irene Country Club was called to measure the distance between the balls from the Jack. Winning by a mere 2mm on its opponents team, Gold Reef City was announced the 1st prize winners. “Well Done to Goldreef City team on their win and for both teams on their excellent play and entertainment provide,” said Gordon Cameron and Ian Mossop. The Winning Team of Gold Hackers comprised Bernard Hunter, Peter Woodcock, Brett Jooste and the runners-up were Beach Bums Dave Seaton, Ian Mossop and Deon Valkenborgh. After hosting another successful Bowls event at the Irene Country club by Game Smart and NovomatIc Africa, raffle tickets were sold at the event to raise funds for Tobie Botha, who was selected to represent South Africa at the Commonwealth Games. A total amount of R7100 was raised that will assist Tobie with a new set of bowls. Gordon and Ian would like to extend a big thank you to each and every one who contributed to this great cause and wishes Tobie all the best for his participation at the Common Wealth Games.

Diepsloot 2017 PlayMakers graduate at Montecasino Being a vessel of change and bringing hope to the hopeless is 28-year-old Johannes Molepo’s driving motto for his life. He and 10 fellow PlayMakers have successfully completed the one-year Sports Administration learnership and leadership programme at Diepsloot Safe-Hub III. To honour their achievement, a ceremony was hosted at Tsogo Sun’s Montecasino, one of the Safe-Hub’s key sponsors. Other Diepsloot Safe-Hub partners include CATHSSETA, Knorr Bremse, and Laureus.
Florian Zech, Margaret Makoka, Nomawethu Sokoyi, Thato Molefe and Shanda Paine.
Sydney Seleka, Florian Zech, Matlhatse Mohale, Nomawethu Sokoyi, Elizabeth Mabusela and Thato Molefe.
THE PLAYMAKERS are the frontline coaching staff at the Safe-Hub and they deliver all after-school programming to the various age groups at the facility. A primary requirement for every PlayMaker accepted on the programme, all of whom are from Diepsloot, is a commitment to change their communities and be positive role models to children and youth. Molepo, who echoes the sentiments of the PlayMaker programme, says he values the chance to learn. “We never have a perfect start in life and improving and success come with learning. By providing a chance to learn, we empower ourselves and others. The Safe-Hub gives us the opportunity to change young people’s lives through sports development – a child in sports is a child out of court.” The Diepsloot Safe-Hub programme has been operating at Muzomuhle Primary School in Diepsloot since February 2016 and is delivered by AMANDLA EduFootball through a funding partnership with Montecasino at an investment of more than R4 million over three years. This year it provided 640 local youngsters from grades R to matric regular access to a safe environment for facilitated sports, arts, life skills lessons, personal development, and the opportunity for a better future. The Safe-Hub also runs the successful Night League programmes for 100 young men from the community, aged 19 and over, to play soccer on a Friday night. The PlayMakers (three boys and eight girls) between the ages of 18 and 27 worked at the Safe-Hub throughout the year with the children in the various activities, gaining valuable work experience and training to become more employable. Mike Page, GM of Montecasino, is proud of Montecasino’s involvement with the highly beneficial Safe-Hub in the nearby Diepsloot community. “Over the course of the year, through Montecasino’s contact with the Safe-Hub, it has been wonderful to see the PlayMakers thriving in the pro-
gramme, and working so effectively with the young learners in the Safe-Hub programmes.” He congratulated the PlayMakers on successfully completing the 2017 course and wished them much success in the future. “You have done us all proud and you have made a difference in many young lives through your hard work and commitment to the programme. We trust that wherever your life journeys take you, you will always be excellent role models of the excellent values you learned as PlayMakers.”

Sun International takes Decisive Action to Close loss-making Operations and Improve Operating Performance • Group revenue for the year increases by 12%; EBITDA by 13% • Back to basics strategy in SA helps lift revenue 2% (-1%) and EBITDA by 15% (-9%) in the second half • Fish River Sun, Sun Nao Casino (Colombia), International VIP Businesses in SA and Panama closed • Ocean Sun Casino in Panama downscaled • Application made to the Eastern Cape Gaming Board to restructure the Boardwalk • Performance of Carousel and Naledi being addressed • Business remains resilient and cash generative. Sun International released its year end results, reporting revenue growth of 12% and an increase in EBITDA of 13%. Revenue growth was attributable to the inclusion of the results of Sun Dreams (from 1 June 2016), Sun Slots (from 1 April 2016) and Time Square (from 1 April 2017). Focused cost control and enhanced efficiencies in South Africa helped grow EBITDA from a -9% decline in the first half to 15% growth in the second half, resulting in EBITDA for the year increasing 3%. South African revenues improved in the second half compared to the first half, from a -1% decline to 2% growth, resulting in flat revenues for the year. Sibaya, Sun City, Sun Slots and the Table Bay produced pleasing results with growth in revenue and EBITDA. Time Square’s results were disappointing while GrandWest revenue was in line with the prior year, with EBITDA dropping by 2%. Operational performance in Latam was subdued largely attributable to a low growth economy and the tragic shooting which took place at Monticello in July 2017. The group incurred a number of once-off or abnormal items that have been adjusted for in headline and adjusted headline earnings, both of which were 41% below the prior year. Group CE Anthony Leeming remarked: “We have taken decisive action to address underperforming operations and to focus on both cost control and increasing efficiencies”. “We’ve made significant investments over the last few years in both South Africa and Latam. The refurbishment of Sun City and the acquisition of Sun Slots have met expectations. However, other developments have fallen well short, increasing our debt and debt ratios significantly. Economic growth in South Africa and Latam has slowed, political uncertainty has increased and social challenges, particularly in South Africa, are at an all-time high. Together, this has created the perfect storm, putting pressure on consumer spending and slowing gaming revenue growth”. “That said, our business has proved its resilience and we remain cash generative and positive around future opportunities. In these difficult times, we’ve shifted our focus, realigned our strategy and we’re committed to getting the basics right as well as operating at optimal efficiency and ensuring we exceed our guests’ expectations”. “We have closed loss making operations including, the Fish River Sun, Sun 20 I Gaming For Africa I April / May 2018
Nao Casino in Colombia and the International VIP Businesses in both South Africa and Panama. We have also downscaled the Ocean Sun Casino by closing the 66th floor casino and significantly reduced staff. We have applied to the Eastern Cape Gaming Board to restructure the Boardwalk and are in the process of addressing the performance of the Carousel”. Progress on other business initiatives • Time Square hotel opening on time and within budget in March this year • Shareholding in Sun Dreams. will increase from 55% to 65% • Sun Dreams submitted bids for the two municipal casino licences in Chile that it currently holds and for an additional three licences. Decisions on the licence bids are due in June 2018 • Sun Dreams awaiting regulatory approval regarding its acquisition of Thunderbird Resorts in Peru for US$27 million. This will strengthen the group’s position in Peru and diversify its asset base in Latam. • Draft legislation in the Western Cape affecting SunWest’s exclusivity is being assessed As previously announced to shareholders, the company is looking to embark on a capital raise exercise to de-risk its balance sheet, with the proceeds aimed at repaying debt and reducing its interest charge. A stronger balance sheet and capital structure will also provide management with the headroom to focus on the business. Given the need to reduce the high debt levels, the board has decided not to declare a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2017. Looking ahead, Leeming said: “The mood in South Africa has definitely lifted. However, we don’t expect this to translate immediately into an increase in discretionary spend or spend on gaming but should have a positive effect in the medium term”. “Closing loss making entities will have a positive impact, as will the interventions we’ve put in place at the Ocean Sun Casino, the Boardwalk and the Carousel. We are anticipating much improved performances from these operations”. “We’re also expecting increased footfall and thus improved revenue and EBITDA at Time Square, following the opening of the arena a few months ago and the imminent opening of the hotel. The major refurbishment at Sun City will continue to deliver benefits, although a stronger Rand and the drought may deter some tourists and put pressure on The Table Bay in Cape Town”. “The Chilean economy is also showing signs of recovery, assisted by the recent change in government. Gaming revenues have stabilised and Monticello is starting to reflect revenue growth compared to the prior year. The addition of Thunderbird Resorts in Peru will contribute positively, A successful outcome for Sun Dreams in the municipal licence bidding process in Chile will also have a significant impact”. “This is not an easy economic environment in which to trade. However, we have the right plan in place. We’ve taken the necessary steps and we’re completely focused on the job at hand.”

WHAT IS the history of Casino Technology’s LPM offering in South Africa? We started exploring the LPM Market in 2011 and identified an opportunity to provide a competitive product for this growing sector. We chose to work with Casino Technology based on their footprint across 15 countries and experience in developing custom game offerings for local markets. We launched the first multigame from Casino Technology at Wild Coast Winter Games in 2014 and have now brought out a new offering, Gamopolis 41. Talking about Gamopolis 41, what is different about it from previous games? We have introduced 4 new game titles to this LPM multi-game suite – Brilliants on Fire, Golden Amulet, Big Joker and Cockatoo. We are particularly looking forward to seeing how players respond to Golden Amulet and Brilliants on Fire due to their exciting bonus game features with substantial pay-outs. The 5th and 6th games to complete the multigame suite, Lucky Clover and Shining Treasure, has been maintained from the previous multigame Gamopolis

Gamopolis 41 will still be housed in Casino Technology’s sturdy and robust Gemini Cabinet with 19 inch LCD display. This modern and sophisticated slot machine offers easy serviceability and minimum downtime, as proven over the years where installed.

LPMs - A Key for Economic Development in Rural NorthWest The rural parts of the North-West Province stand to benefit from a roll-out of Limited Pay-Out Machines (LPMs). Audit & System Manager of the North-West Gambling Board Mr Kenny Monate says the market of LPMs in districts such as Bojanala in the Province’s platinum belt shows the signs of saturation. The Gross Gambling Revenue “GGR” trend analysis shows that the opportunities lie in the Far West of the province, particularly the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality. “The GGR of Bojanala was the highest in the first four years when we started the rollout of LPMs due to the fact that the Operators preferred and placed more LPMs in the district (Bojanala) which houses an average 56% of the LPMs currently operational than the other three districts (Dr Ngaka Modiri Molema at 15%, Dr Ruth Mompati at 7% and Dr Kenneth Kaunda at 22%),” says Kenny Monate Audit & Systems Manager for the NorthWest Gambling Board. “This is primarily because Bojanala is the economic hub of the province. Although the GGR is still high (sitting at 57% in average) we have noted a decline in GGR per Machine (LPM) from 27% in 2015/16 (which was higher than all other districts) to 24% in 2016/17 Financial Year. The decline in GGR per Machine is due to the increasing concentration of the Machine in the district,” Mr Monate said. On the contrary the GGR per Machine in Dr Ruth Mompati has increased drastically by 35%, from 24% in 2015/16 to 30% in 2016/17 Financial Year (which is now higher than all other districts). This is due to the lesser number of Machines and increased demand for
gambling in the district. The statistics show that there is still an untapped market in Dr Ruth Mompati.Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati is one of the economically depressed regions in the province. The district cont inues to grapple with issues such as unemployment, poverty and income inequalities. “The investment in the district coupled with the higher profit margins will surely bring relieve and benefits to the locals through various means such as employment opportunities and being the actual owners of these operations,” Mr Monate said. The district also continues to grapple with the scourge of illegal gambling operations. And this has robbed the province of better economic prospects particularly in the collection of taxes and levies. Mr Monate believes that the roll-out will assist to suffocate unscrupulous forces in the industry. “People must now begin to look at this market and take it away from illegal operators. And as the Board we will be strengthening our efforts root to out the mushrooming of illegal gambling operations so that the new investors are able to reap the rewards of their investments.”
Namibia Clamps Down on Illegal Gambling with Jail & Hefty Fines NAMIBIA IS clamping down on illegal gambling in the southern African countrys, with owners of unlicensed gambling machines now facing hefty fines or imprisonment. This is according to the Minister of Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, in a Motivation Statement of the Gambling and Entertainment Control Bill that was read in Parliament recently. The minister revealed that there are approximately 20,000 unlicensed gambling machines across the country. Shifeta said the Bill that provides for the establishment of the board as an administrative body or agency of the government, gives 26 I Gaming For Africa I April / May 2018
power to the board to establish and maintain a register of every gambling machine manufactured within or imported into Namibia. The new Bill also gives power to the board to establish and maintain a central electronic monitoring system capable of - detecting and monitoring significant events associated with a gambling machine or any device associated with the gambling machine that is made available for play in the country. Shifeta also revealed that there are 260 licence holders (six casinos and 254 gambling houses) and 2,845 registered gambling machines (1,145 casinos and 1,700
gambling houses). He said the gambling industry contributes to the State Revenue Fund about N$22 million annually in Namibia. “We must note that this Act also regulates casinos. We have so far 6 casino licences that have been granted. It must also be pointed out that the Damaseb Commission of Inquiry did not find any challenges with the way the casino sector is being regulated,” he said. Shifeta said the main objectives of the Gaming and Entertainment Control Bill is “to regulate the gambling and gambling activities in Namibia; to set out the principles for gambling and gambling activities; establish the Gambling Board; to establish the Gambling Trust Fund; and to provide for incidental matters”.
