Inside Asian Gaming

IAG MAY 2022年5月 亞博匯 81 特寫 IAG: You’ve spoken about the differences in recovery across Asia. How about the ANZ (Australia-New Zealand) market? KJ: Australia was locked down throughout COVID, but the market has come back very quickly and is very open today. Masks are off and people are travelling around the country. Even foreign tourists are travelling back into the country. All of that stuff helps recovery and that’s what we are seeing in Australia right now. IAG: What can you tell us about the recent name change from Scientific Games to Light & Wonder? KJ: We divested the lottery company. With this it was a great opportunity to redefine who we are. This transformation will allow us to focus on being the leading cross-platform global games company, so an inspirational and bold name was required – “Light & Wonder”. It is exciting for our staff, stakeholders and customers as we embark on this future journey. IAG: It’s remarkable the company managed to keep it all secret until the official announcement. KJ: That was the idea, to create a wow factor, to tell the market who we want to be, who we are moving forward and to create that excitement. Internally the staff are very excited about what the future holds for us. Look for our future products as we continue to develop the best in class for the casino industry. 亞博匯：最近Scientific Games更名為 Light & Wonder。你能否告訴我們關於 此事的細節？ KJ： 我們公司剝離了彩票業務。更名是 重新定義我們是誰的好機會。這一轉變 將令我們專注於成為全球領先的跨平台 博彩遊戲公司。所以我們需要一個鼓舞 人心且大膽的名字——「Light & Won- der」。 隨著我們踏上未來之旅，我們 的員工、股東及客戶都十分興奮。 亞博匯：你們將這一切保密，直到正式 宣佈，實在厲害。 KJ： 我們就是要這個想法，就是要令人 感到驚嘆。我們告訴市場想成為怎樣的 公司，繼續前進並創造那份興奮驚嘆的 感覺。公司內部方面，員工對我們的未 來感到非常興奮。我們未來將繼續為博 彩行業持續開發一流產品。
