IAG JUN 2019年6月 亞博匯 17 ASIA PIONEER ENTERTAINMENT TO DEVELOP ITS OWN EGM GAMES 亞洲先鋒娛樂將自主開發EGM遊戲 MACAU -based gaming machine distributor Asia Pioneer Entertainment (APE) has revealed it is developing its own games for land-based electronic gaming equipment. The news formed part of the company’s 1Q19 earnings release, which saw revenue for the first quarter of 2019 fall 42.8% year-on-year to HK$8 million, impacted by a decrease in income from the Technical Sales and Distribution of Electronic Gaming Equipment. Providing an update on current activities, APE said it has initiated research and development of its own games with the objective “to develop suitable games that may attract Southeast Asia players and customers.” It added, “We hope to market games under the Group’s own intellectual property.” Development of its own games would add a new revenue stream for APE, which saw its 1Q19 loss widen slightly from HK$1.75 million in the prior year period to HK$1.92 million. APE recorded a profit of HK$20.7 million for FY18. 總部 位於澳門的電子遊戲設備供應商亞洲先鋒娛樂（APE）日前透 露，其正在自行研發用於實體電子博彩設備。 該消息是由APE公司2019年第一季度業績公告中所披露的。 公告同時顯示，受電子博彩設備的技術銷售與分銷的收入減少的影 響，該公司當期收入按年下降42.8%至800萬港元。 在談及未來展望時，APE稱其已開始為實體電子博彩設備研發 其自有的博彩，目標為「開發可吸引東南亞玩家及客戶的合適博彩。」 「我們希望以本集團自有知識產權營銷博彩。」其在財報中補 充道。 自主研發遊戲或可為APE打開新的收入來源。該公司在2019 年第一季度錄得虧損從去年同期的175萬港幣略微擴大至192萬港 元。APE於2018財年錄得年末溢利及全面收益總額為2070萬港元。
