Asia is fast becoming a world player in the casino
gambling industry, now that several doors have recently been opened, allowing
for the operation of casinos and gambling operations. Considering that
Asia is still considered one of the few remaining prime gambling territories,
and that its assortment of eighty casinos has already generated approximately
US$13 billion in casino gambling revenue, the prospects for future profit and
economic stimulation are looking very good. In just three years from now,
Asia is expected to almost double its casino revenue to over $20 million, which
is where IndoPacific Gaming comes into the picture. The large distributor
of gaming and casino products just announced they have signed a deal with the R.
Franco Group to distribute slot machines in Australia and Asia.
IndoPacific Gaming (IPG) has already been doing
business in the Pacific region, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, thus being an
established name in the global casino industry. Headquartered in
Australia, IPG has been in the gambling business for nineteen years, and is most
highly valued for their expertise in providing superior casino gaming solutions,
including currency counting and bill validating machines, table game layouts,
cards and card shuffling systems, table chips, roulette wheels and slot
machines.
Now that IPG company is distributing slot machines
for Franco - who has over thirty years experience in the casino gaming industry
- it looks like IPG is becoming one of the most infiltrated gaming companies in
Asia. The current deal with Franco gives IPG distribution rights of Franco
slots in Macau, Taiwan, Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and China.
R. Franco's decision to use the services of IPG
came as a surprise to some gaming analysts, since R. Franco already has many of
their slot machines in the Asian market. However, as R. Franco's Sales
Director, Santiago Vinas, pointed out - the casino and slot machine industry in
Asia still holds great potential. With new casino projects in Macau and
Singapore taking place, as well as great odds that casino gambling will be
legalized in Japan, Thailand, India and Taiwan, it makes sense for R. Franco to
expand itself even further by giving a company as well connected as IPG
exclusive distribution rights.
