Expansion Continues on Macau’s Cotai Strip, Driving Gaming
Trends Across Asia
HONG KONG, May 12 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -
Held in Asia’s gaming capital - Macau—where industry
expansion is roaring ahead, Global Gaming Expo Asia (G2E Asia) puts
exhibitors at the center of global gaming growth with leading edge
products on its show floor, top-notch conference programs, and an
unrivaled assembly of industry leaders. G2E
Asia 2010 takes place June 8-10 at the Cotai Strip® CotaiExpo™ at
the Venetian Macao.
G2E Asia 2010 features a full-day Global
Markets Forum designed to provide a comprehensive look at the
issues and opportunities in current and emerging markets throughout
the pan-Asian region, from India and Vietnam to Singapore and
Japan, with a keynote address from Mr. Francis Lui, deputy chairman
of Galaxy Entertainment Group. Other highlights include the
G2E Asia Visionary Award presentation to
pioneering gaming machine innovator Len Ainsworth, the Slot
Operators Roundtable and Networking Reception, the iGaming Pavilion
on the show floor, and a Game Protection Seminar tailored to keep
industry professionals ahead of cheats. These unique events are
focused on helping gaming professionals find the business and
professional development opportunities they need to succeed in the
global gaming marketplace.
“While many areas around the world continue to feel the impact
of economic uncertainty, the center of gaming industry growth has
shifted decisively to Asia. Gaming in Asia is back on pace for
record growth in terms of revenue and expansion, with Macau leading
the charge and setting the pace that other jurisdictions are
striving to match,” said Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., president and
CEO of the American Gaming Association. “G2E
Asia brings the gaming industry together in this exciting and
important destination, enabling manufacturers, service providers
and other vendors to meet key decision makers in an atmosphere made
for success, at a moment when business opportunities are
abundant.”
Following record gaming receipts in 2009, Macau’s explosive
growth has continued, and to help meet soaring demand, construction
is going ahead at full speed on new projects in Cotai. Directly
adjacent to the Venetian Macao, the home of G2E Asia, new casino hotels are being built on the Cotai
Strip, and with these projects due to open next year, G2E Asia is the ideal time and place to present products
to the developers.
Projects beyond Macau in established and emerging destinations
also are fueling Asia’s gaming boom. Major resort developments are
underway in the Philippines and Vietnam, while two of the world’s
largest casino resorts opened their doors earlier this year in
Singapore. Events over the past year have a positive impact on the
gaming outlook in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Japan and
Taiwan.
Information and insights gained from the industry’s best and
brightest at G2E Asia can help gaming
professionals identify the issues and trends that are gaining
momentum and likely to impact the gaming business in Asia and
beyond. Attendees of G2E Asia will be exposed
to cutting edge developments and equipped to face new challenges
and opportunities as the industry moves ahead.
G2E Asia is the premier gaming exhibition
and conference event dedicated to the Asian gaming markets. For
