The module, developed in consultation with Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, allows the regulator to monitor use of the GameSource platform and its games in real time. “Our competitors out there are not real time – they always have latencies – so we are the first in the industry to provide real time facilities for regulators to monitor what’s going on,” Lam says. The platform has already been patented in 10 jurisdictions although GameSource is primarily focussed on rolling out in four countries – including Vietnam, Cambodia and the United States – before expanding any further. And of course Macau sits top of the tree with MGM having deployed a trial version last October allowing patrons to play for points. According to Lam, that trial has proved successful with the platform’s revenue mode expected to be switched on “in the next month or two” pending final approvals. Once up and running, its eco-system will be activated between the regulators, operators and developers. “We have about 80 games right now in our library and MGM has selected seven or eight of them,” Lam explains. “Those are quite localized slot games for now but we have new games coming up that are not slots. It’s quite transformational.” Lam also points to the strategic partnership with MGM China as being more than one of convenience. “As a joint venture between MGM Resorts and Pansy Ho, it is a very unique company in the gaming world,” he elaborates “It has the highest compliance in the world because we not only need to comply with the Macau regulatory requirements, we also need to comply with Nevada regulatory requirements.. “The two toughest regulatory jurisdictions in the world are Macau and Nevada so if we can roll out here at MGM Macau we can also roll out in Nevada and everywhere else. Our plan has always been about taking the top- down approach to set the highest industry standard. “We also have more than 80 team members working in our company and 99% of them are from Macau, so it is truly a Macau product made by Macau people setting a new standard for the Macau regulator and operators, with the goal of going global for other jurisdictions to follow.” TECH TALK
