Inside Asian Gaming

IAG JAN 2022年1月 亞博匯 51 技術談 Maximum Fortune”, continues to generate anywhere from two or three times floor average to a couple of places that are five and six times floor average compared to other ETGs. We think leaping into this year with social distancing, operators will probably put those sorts of games in. We saw that in the US they were moving some machines to make more space for social distancing and a lot of the casinos took “Baccarat Maximum Fortune” because they knew they could use it. They liked the flexibility of the product. We assume it will continue to perform well in Asia. It performs well on its own but with Asia opening up it is also a good social distancing tool. BB: Looking at Asia in 2022, what’s the strategy heading into the new year? SW: We’ve still got some product that was intended to roll out this past year so we’re going to go with that. Probably the biggest single product that we’re excited about is called “Lucky Fruits”, which has two titles. It’s a tree game with perceived persistence so when you get a Wild symbol it throws another coin or fruit into the tree and sometimes it will shake and drop a bonus out of the tree, so it builds excitement. This game was ready to go out last year but we held it back. That will be our push here as we come out. We do have some commitments around that game so we expect that will start to roll out early in the year.
