IAG DEC 2019年12月 亞博匯 86 FEATURES casino operators and even regulators. By creating their games using GameSource, developers have access to an array of compliance-approved modules such as RNGs, anti-money laundering safeguards and digital wallets all aimed at achieving regulatory compliance. On the other hand, GameSource is also a cloud-based gaming app store providing operators with a quick and easy way to access games. “Macau people have learned a lot about the industry, but if we talk about the Macau economy, you always have a cap in terms of gaming business,” Ip says. “We can just continue doing a supporting role or operational role in the casinos or we can do something different in the whole supply chain.” However, storming the traditional grounds of the gaming industry is not an easy task and part of what GameSource is developing relates to changing the perception of the technology they are bringing in. Subsequently, it took serious scrutiny from Macau’s regulators before GameSource was given the thumbs up. “One thing we had to prove to the government is that we are setting a high standard,” Ip says. “And more important was changing their mindset for two things: first, Macau people can make it happen, and second, we can create a new standard by deploying new technologies. “I think we have successfully changed their mindset a bit so they now accept this new technology is actually helping everyone. “The train is not waiting for Macau, it is a global change. Technology is changing the world and helping everybody’s life, whether you like it or not. “Do you want to make it happen in Macau? It’s a chance for local ventures, for local people. If you do nothing, somebody outside will do it instead.”
