Inside Asian Gaming

June 2011 | INSIDE ASIAN GAMING 29 HYDAKO for its bold mix of e-games. We’re really pleased to have been part of the opening of this exceptional new property. We’ve certainly benefited from all the player traffic stopping by to try out our games. With so many new slot products fighting for attention at Galaxy Macau, we are fortunate to have a strong product that really stands out to players. What have you learnt from the public reaction to the HYDAKO games at Galaxy Macau? Mr Iao: The debut at Galaxy Macau was the fruition of two years of our product development and management partnership with HYDAKO. We’re glad to see players have reacted positively to our key product strengths—graphics and hardware design. What sets HYDAKO games apart from other popular games in Asia? MrWhite: Slot suppliers have been pretty conservative in terms of their hardware design—especially with the products they sell into Asian markets. One of our biggest differentiators, of course, is our cabinets, which are backed up by the game graphics. Mr Tam: As for the maths on the HYDAKO games, since we’re aware our product appeals to casual players, we’ve attempted to satisfy the entertainment goals of those casual players, while also increasing their time on device. The graphics on HYDAKO games are a clear draw for players. What is the secret behind HYDAKO’s stunning graphics? Mr Iao: South Korea is a well known centre for the development of media content and technology. HYDAKO draws its multimedia team from this rich and experienced resource pool. The company was actually established back in 2001, so they’ve been working for ten years to get to the level they’re at. HYDAKO is at Booth #1419 “HYDAKO’s looks will get it attention on the floor and maybe some plays, but its maths will earn it [return] players” – Laxino Business Director Paul White Cutting edge—4Weapons
