"Sung Wukong" Goes Live, Wild Re-Spin Mechanism Ignites Player Excitement

The Asian market has long been a major growth engine for the global iGaming industry, and its cultural diversity makes "localization" the first major challenge for content providers entering the region. Unlike the relatively uniform consumer preferences in Western markets, player tastes in Asia vary significantly depending on region, language, and cultural background.Take game themes, for example. Players in Southeast Asia tend to prefer vibrant visuals and dynamic effects, and are especially drawn to games inspired by folklore, mythology, or local traditions. In contrast, players in Northeast Asia often lean toward Japanese anime-style graphics or games with complex mechanics. Additionally, language and currency support—such as Vietnamese dong, Japanese yen, or Indonesian rupiah—are critical for efficient operations and player conversion.To meet these diverse demands, content providers are investing more resources into local market research and language optimization. Many are also partnering with regional operators to co-develop content tailored to specific audiences. Some brands even launch themed games or limited-time events tied to regional festivals such as Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, or Songkran. These seasonal campaigns not only boost traffic but also help foster emotional engagement with players.Beyond language and content, backend infrastructure is also becoming increasingly localized. Features such as region-specific customer service modules, timezone synchronization, and integration with local payment providers have become crucial tools for deeper collaboration between platforms and content suppliers. Many international vendors now operate regional offices or assign dedicated account managers to strengthen on-the-ground support.In the future, success in Asia’s competitive iGaming landscape will no longer rely solely on game quality. The true differentiator will be how quickly and precisely a company can respond to regional cultures and user behaviors. Those who succeed in this regard will gain a significant competitive edge in one of the world's most dynamic markets.

Localization Becomes Key for Content Providers Navigating the Diverse Asian iGaming Market

"Onestick Fishing" – A Revolutionary New Fish Game for an Unparalleled Immersive Experience

A recent case of AI-driven fraud has once again stirred controversy within the industry. A deepfake video, created without authorization, used the likeness and voice of a well-known Hong Kong actor to promote an online gambling platform in Malaysia. The actor has publicly denied any association with the platform and has urged fans to stay vigilant to avoid being deceived.<h3>Actor Issues Strong Statement, Vows Legal Action</h3>The fraudulent deepfake video falsely portrayed the actor as an ambassador for the gambling platform. In the video, the AI-generated version of the actor praises the platform as “fun, safe, and easy to win on.” To enhance its realism, the video even includes clips from the actor’s past film appearances, making it difficult for viewers to detect the fabrication.Following the incident, the actor and their agency swiftly released a statement, emphasizing that they had never collaborated with the platform. They condemned such fraudulent activities and did not rule out taking legal action against any unauthorized use of their name and image.<h3>AI Scams Becoming a Global Concern</h3>This deepfake controversy further highlights the growing misuse of artificial intelligence in fraudulent schemes. Cybersecurity firm Group-IB recently revealed that over 1,300 scam gambling websites and more than 500 AI-generated fake advertisements are currently circulating in the market. These fraudulent ads often employ deepfake videos, AI-generated multilingual voiceovers, and even fake customer testimonials to increase credibility and mislead unsuspecting users.The primary goal of these scams is to lure victims into downloading gambling applications embedded with malware, which can then steal personal and financial information. According to identity verification firm Sumsub, nearly 47% of European online gambling operators suffered revenue losses exceeding 10% due to fraud in 2024.This incident underscores the urgent need for the iGaming industry to strengthen regulations and fraud prevention measures. As AI technology advances, criminal organizations are exploiting new techniques to manipulate public trust. This not only threatens consumer rights but also severely impacts the reputations of celebrities and businesses. In an era where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly prevalent, general consumers and players must remain highly vigilant to avoid falling victim to AI-driven scams.&nbsp;Source: <a href="https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/gambling-platform-uses-ai-deepfake-for-fraudulent-marketing/">Gambling News</a>

Sports competitions and the gambling market have long been intertwined. In the past, the gambling industry was often seen as part of the underground economy. However, governments worldwide are now increasingly recognizing and regulating it. This institutionalization trend has not only expanded the sports market but has also strengthened the connection between professional basketball and the gambling industry. From the NBA to European leagues and the rise of the Asian market, sports betting has become a significant force influencing league operations, player careers, and government regulations. Recently, the Hong Kong government has been considering legalizing basketball betting to address its budget deficit. This move could reshape the Asian sports betting landscape and further impact the global professional basketball industry.<h3>Rapid Growth of the Betting Market, Basketball as a Key Focus</h3>The sports betting market is expanding rapidly. Since the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports betting in 2018, 38 states have legalized it. According to statistics, the total amount wagered on sports events in 2023 reached nearly $120 billion, with the NBA and international basketball leagues becoming major attractions for bettors.This massive revenue potential has prompted the Hong Kong government to consider easing regulations on basketball betting to boost the economy and reduce the budget deficit. Reports indicate that Hong Kong is exploring the legalization of betting on NBA games to increase gambling tax revenue and compete with Macau’s gaming industry. If implemented, the policy is expected to draw 60% of black-market gamblers into the legal market, generating:<ul><li>An annual betting turnover of HKD 52.5 billion</li><li>HKD 1.5 billion in tax revenue</li></ul><h3>Player Gambling Scandals Challenge League Integrity</h3>As sports betting becomes more widespread, incidents involving players engaging in gambling-related misconduct have increased. In 2024, former NBA player Jontay Porter was accused of using insider game information to defraud betting companies, illegally profiting over $1 million. As a result, he was permanently banned from the NBA. This case highlights the complex relationship between players and the gambling industry and raises concerns about the integrity of the game.<h3>College Basketball Also Affected</h3>It’s not just professional leagues facing challenges—college basketball has also been caught up in gambling controversies. During the 2023 “March Madness” tournament, Temple University’s men’s basketball team was flagged by U.S. Integrity, a sports betting monitoring firm, for suspected match-fixing. This incident demonstrates that gambling’s influence has penetrated college-level competitions, posing even greater regulatory challenges.<h3>Potential Impact of Hong Kong’s Policy</h3>If Hong Kong legalizes basketball betting, the Asian market may encounter similar issues. Without strict regulations, players and coaches could face increased pressure from external influences, further jeopardizing the fairness of the game.<h3>The Inseparable Relationship Between Sports and Gambling</h3>The booming global sports betting market has made professional basketball and the gambling industry increasingly interconnected. In the United States, media giant ESPN not only collaborates with professional leagues but also operates its own betting platform, ESPN Bet. The Asian market is unlikely to avoid this trend. If Hong Kong pushes forward with basketball betting legalization, it will further deepen the cooperation between professional leagues and the gambling industry, affecting team sponsorships, data licensing, and audience engagement.<h3>The Future of Basketball and Gambling Integration</h3>The integration of professional basketball and the gambling industry will continue to grow. If Hong Kong implements legalization, it will inject new momentum into the Asian sports betting ecosystem and provide professional basketball with a new financial revenue stream. However, challenges related to player conduct and game integrity will inevitably follow. Moving forward, leagues and governments must work together to establish stricter regulatory mechanisms to balance commercial interests with the spirit of sportsmanship. In this wave of capital and competition, finding a way to achieve a win-win outcome will be a crucial task for all stakeholders.

Basketball and Gambling: The New Era of Commercial Convergence

As the global digital entertainment industry continues to evolve, the iGaming market is also undergoing significant transformations in 2025. Whether it is regulatory changes by governments worldwide or technological advancements driving market shifts, these factors are likely to reshape the competitive landscape of the industry.&nbsp;Regulatory Challenges and Market ResponsesWith increasing governmental oversight on the industry, regulatory compliance has become the primary challenge for iGaming operators. As regulations grow stricter across different regions, operators must adapt to diverse legal frameworks, significantly increasing operational complexity.Some of the most notable regulatory changes include:•&nbsp;&nbsp; United Kingdom:&nbsp;Strengthening financial scrutiny by requiring high-deposit players to undergo enhanced due diligence (EDD). Additionally, operators are mandated to set a maximum bet limit for slot games. The potential increase in online gambling taxes may further impact industry profitability.•&nbsp;&nbsp; United Arab Emirates (UAE):&nbsp;The establishment of the <a href="https://www.gcgra.gov.ae/en/">General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA)</a> marks a major milestone, as the UAE moves toward a regulated gambling market with the issuance of its first lottery license.•&nbsp;&nbsp; United States:&nbsp;Plans are underway to introduce a National Self-Exclusion Program to promote responsible gambling. Additionally, proposed federal legislation aims to impose stricter restrictions on betting advertisements, credit card deposits, and micro-betting activities.Given this regulatory trend, AI technology has become a key tool for operators to navigate compliance challenges. For example, AI-powered player behavior analysis can automatically identify high-risk users and implement preventive measures, ensuring regulatory compliance while enhancing responsible gambling mechanisms.&nbsp;AI Technology Driving iGaming InnovationAs mentioned earlier, technological innovation is the core driver of the iGaming market in 2025. According to a recent research report by Julia Panina, Product Marketing Manager at EvenBet Gaming, 21% of operators have invested in personalized customer experiences, while 18% are actively adopting AI and machine learning to enhance player engagement and operational efficiency. These technologies are being applied in various areas, including:&nbsp;•&nbsp; &nbsp;Advanced AI and Machine Learning Applications: Operators use AI to recommend games based on player behavior, boosting retention rates. AI-driven data analysis also helps businesses precisely target markets and optimize marketing ROI. Additionally, real-time monitoring can mitigate fraudulent activities and improve risk management.•&nbsp;&nbsp; Blockchain and Data Security Technologies:&nbsp;By leveraging blockchain technology, companies can enhance transaction transparency and payment security, reducing the risk of fraud.

If DeepSeek succeeds in breaking the U.S. monopoly on AI, it could accelerate global AI development, driving iGaming innovations. The lowered barrier to AI adoption will allow more small and medium-sized game developers to enhance their game offerings and competitiveness.&nbsp;The Future of iGaming: Regulations and Technology Advancing TogetherThe iGaming industry is at a critical juncture where regulatory changes and technological advancements intersect, making the competition fiercer than ever.

With the evolving global economic landscape and advancements in technology, the gaming industry has increasingly become a focus of economic growth for many countries. Brazil, which has recently moved towards opening its gambling market, the US, where the topic became a point of debate during this year's presidential election, and the UK, where gambling culture is deeply rooted, all face unique challenges and opportunities regarding gaming regulations. Despite their differences, these countries also share some noteworthy similarities in their policy directions.<h3>Economic Drivers for the Future</h3>Whether it is Brazil's proposed casino legalization bill, the UK’s steady gambling participation rate, or the push for online gambling legalization across various US states, governments unanimously emphasize the economic benefits and tax revenues the gaming industry can generate. For example, the US has established a tax framework ranging from 15% to 25%, aiming to maximize government revenues following legalization. Similarly, the UK’s gambling market serves as a stable source of funding for public welfare programs. In Brazil, one of the primary motivations for legalizing casinos is to combat illegal gambling and stimulate economic development through a regulated market.<h3>Social Responsibility and Regulation</h3>Policy discussions on opening gambling markets inevitably raise concerns about gambling addiction. In Brazil, opponents of legalization argue that it will exacerbate addiction issues, hindering progress. The UK addresses this by conducting regular surveys to monitor gambling behavior and focuses on protecting vulnerable groups by assessing how gambling impacts them. In the US, consumer protection measures are integrated into new regulations, such as deposit limits and bans on credit card deposits, to mitigate addiction risks. These examples highlight the serious social and ethical responsibilities governments must bear when legalizing gambling.<h3>Trends in Digital Transformation</h3>As technology advances, online gambling has become a global trend in the gaming industry. In the UK, online gambling participation reached 37% this year. In 2023, New Jersey earned an impressive $414 million in tax revenue from online sports and casino betting, prompting other states to consider online gambling regulations to alleviate budget pressures. Brazil, while drafting its casino legalization proposal, has also included provisions for online betting.Despite the varying regulatory backgrounds, the economic potential of the gaming industry is increasingly recognized as global economic pressures rise. If Brazil successfully legalizes casinos, it could provide new economic growth opportunities. The UK continues to maintain market stability through improved regulations. In the US, more states are likely to legalize online gambling in the coming years, highlighting the promising future of the gaming industry.While the global growth of the gaming industry seems inevitable, balancing economic benefits with social responsibility remains a challenge for policymakers. These experiences and challenges also offer valuable insights for Taiwan if it considers developing a similar industry in the future.

Challenges and Prospects of the Gaming Industry in Brazil, the UK, and the US

Spain’s online gambling market recorded notable growth in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting strong market momentum and diverse expansion trends. According to data released by the Spanish gambling regulator (DGOJ), online gambling gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the quarter reached €348.1 million, representing a 14.4% year-on-year increase. &nbsp;Sports Betting and Online Casinos Drive GrowthDespite challenges posed by changes in advertising regulations, sports betting remains the primary driver of Spain's online gambling sector. In Q3 2024, sports betting contributed approximately €145 million, accounting for 42% of total GGR. This underscores the continued enthusiasm of Spanish bettors for sports events. The resurgence of major football tournaments has played a significant role in sustaining this trend, while the flexibility of live betting has also gained popularity among players. With a packed calendar of domestic and international sports events, the sports betting market is expected to maintain its momentum through the fourth quarter.Meanwhile, online casinos saw steady growth, generating €172 million in revenue during Q3, reflecting a 15% year-on-year increase. This rise is driven primarily by the popularity of slot machines and live roulette, meeting the demand for more interactive and engaging digital entertainment options. The diversification of game offerings highlights the increasing importance of digital entertainment within the gambling industry, drawing in more players. &nbsp;ICE 2025 Heads to Spain, Underscoring Market SignificanceA key milestone for the industry is the upcoming International Casino Exhibition (ICE) 2025, which will be held in Barcelona for the first time. This move underscores Spain's growing prominence in the global gambling landscape. Hosting ICE 2025 provides Spain an opportunity to showcase its robust regulatory framework, consistent market growth, and advancements in digital transformation. The event is expected to facilitate international collaboration, attract investment, and further drive the evolution of Spain’s gambling sector. &nbsp;Opportunities and ChallengesThe strong performance in Q3 2024, combined with the anticipation surrounding ICE 2025, injects new optimism into Spain's online gambling market. However, the industry must navigate tightening regulations around advertising and responsible gambling. Operators will need to balance compliance with growth, while ongoing innovation and superior player experiences will be essential to maintaining competitiveness.Looking ahead, Spain is poised to solidify its position in the global gambling industry through international events, policy refinement, and expanding market demand. This growth trajectory positions Spain as a key hub for gambling innovation and development.

Spain's Online Gambling Market Sees Robust Growth in 2024

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, besides reaffirming Donald Trump's presidency, also spotlighted the performance of prediction markets. Kalshi, the only legally sanctioned prediction platform in the U.S., gained federal court approval in just six weeks, allowing American voters to legally bet on the election for the first time. This development led to over $700 million in wagers during the election period, with nearly $430 million focused on the presidential race. &nbsp;Kalshi's success highlighted the influence of prediction markets on election insights. While traditional polling institutions like FiveThirtyEight leaned toward Kamala Harris, Kalshi’s data indicated that Trump’s support was steadily surpassing Harris’s, a prediction validated by the election results. Kalshi emphasized that prediction markets could serve as a powerful tool against misinformation, as their data is based on real monetary stakes from voters, unlike the questionnaire-based methodology of traditional polls. &nbsp;In addition to Kalshi, gray-area platforms like Polymarket, which uses cryptocurrency, and New Zealand-based PredictIt, though not officially approved to operate in the U.S., garnered significant media attention and billions in funds during the election period. These platforms not only attracted investors but also prompted the public to reconsider the role of prediction markets in democratic societies and the necessity of their legalization. &nbsp;As prediction markets demonstrate high accuracy in forecasting election outcomes, the demand and support for legalizing such platforms are likely to grow. However, Kalshi and similar platforms still face legal challenges, particularly regarding their gambling nature and compliance with regulatory standards. Kalshi’s data, however, suggests that prediction markets are more than just financial tools. If a balance can be struck between transparency, data reliability, and legality, these platforms could become influential tools in future elections and potentially reshape public understanding of political participation and election processes.

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Drives the Rise of Prediction Markets

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the spotlight was not only on Donald Trump's victory but also on several key ballot initiatives, including proposals for gambling legalization. These measures are set to have a lasting impact on the U.S. gaming industry, especially in states like Missouri, Virginia, Arkansas, and Colorado.&nbsp;Missouri’s Sports Betting Bill PassedIn Missouri, voters narrowly passed Constitutional Amendment 2, which legalizes retail and online sports betting statewide. The law will allow sports betting at 20 locations, including 13 local casinos, 7 professional sports venues, and 2 exclusive online platforms. Supporters argue that the expected 10% annual tax revenue growth will help fund educational programs and gambling addiction prevention. The amendment takes effect 30 days after the election, meaning sports betting could become legal by December 5. However, Missouri voters rejected another proposal to add a riverboat casino on the Osage River, with 52% opposing it.&nbsp;Virginia Approves New CasinoVirginia also saw significant developments, with Petersburg voters approving the construction of the state’s fifth brick-and-mortar casino by 81%. This new casino, operated by the Cordish Group, will be the first approved in four years, joining others in Bristol, Danville, Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Richmond, and is expected to require a $1.4 billion investment.&nbsp;Arkansas Casino Plan RejectedIn Arkansas, voters rejected a fourth casino license authorized by the state constitution, reinforcing the requirement for any future casino projects to gain local approval. This cautious approach reflects the state’s resistance to rapid gambling expansion while allowing for measured development.&nbsp;Colorado Supports Gambling Tax Revenue for Environmental InitiativesIn Colorado, Proposition JJ focused on the allocation of gambling tax revenue. Since legalizing sports betting in 2019, the state collects a 10% tax on gambling revenue, capped at $29 million annually. With over 75% support, voters approved allowing the state to retain all sports betting tax revenue without the previous cap, dedicating the excess funds to statewide water conservation and infrastructure projects.&nbsp;A Promising Future for U.S. GamingThese election outcomes reflect both political shifts and significant progress for gambling legalization across several states. With Missouri lifting the sports betting ban and Virginia and Colorado making strides in gambling-related legislation, the path toward a regulated gaming industry in the U.S. is steadily advancing. The potential for growth in the American gaming market remains substantial, drawing continued public and industry attention.

Gambling Legalization Becomes a New Focus in U.S. Elections

Cracking Down on Illegal Gambling to Enhance Market RegulationThe Legislative Assembly of the Macau Special Administrative Region recently passed an enhanced gaming law introducing stricter regulations and penalties aimed at curbing illegal gambling activities. The new law grants relevant authorities greater powers, imposes heavy fines, and enforces stringent punishments for violations. As online gambling and underground casinos continue to proliferate, the law not only addresses traditional gambling offenses but also expands regulatory oversight into digital crime. This ensures that the current and future gaming markets operate within legal boundaries, upholding Macau’s reputation as a premier, lawful entertainment and tourism destination. &nbsp;Regulatory Improvements Aid Industry RecoveryWith the tourism sector gradually rebounding and the implementation of the new gaming regulations, market confidence is on the rise. The strengthened regulatory environment is creating more stable conditions for legal gaming operators, which, in turn, has drawn renewed interest from international investors, further solidifying Macau’s position as the gaming hub of Asia. According to a recent report from the Economic Society, Macau's GDP is projected to grow by 11% this year, a boost driven by rising gaming revenues and renewed confidence in the stability of the Macau market. Additionally, the Macau government is actively promoting economic diversification to reduce overreliance on the gaming industry, which is generating considerable anticipation around this expanding market. Transformation and Growth: Towards a Diversified Economic FutureThrough this regulatory reform, the Macau government aims not only to strengthen market order but also to promote the growth of emerging industries, including cultural and creative sectors, technological innovation, and non-gaming entertainment ventures. In the coming years, Macau will strive to attract more tourists and investors, building a more diversified and competitive economic system. With market recovery underway and the new regulations in place, Macau’s gaming industry is poised to face future challenges with a solid and predictable foundation, moving toward a sustainable path forward.

As Brazil's online gambling market is expected to become legal on January 1, 2025, the government has intensified its efforts to regulate and crack down on the illegal gambling sector in recent months. According to the<a href="https://www.gamesbras.com/english-version/2023/3/15/new-national-association-of-games-and-lotteries-is-born-in-brazil-36099.html"> National Gaming and Lottery Association (ANJL)</a>, clear advertising strategies and effective regulation will be key to the market's success post-legalization.&nbsp;The Review Progress is On ScheduleRegis Dudena, <a href="https://www.gov.br/fazenda/pt-br/composicao/orgaos/secretaria-de-premios-e-apostas">Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA)</a> under Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, stated at the 3rd Sports Integrity Summit on September 5 that the review of gambling licenses in Brazil will be completed by November 2024. Dudena emphasized that regulatory laws will have a profound impact on Brazil’s online gambling industry. He said, "We successfully issued all relevant regulations by the end of July, ensuring that the industry has clear guidelines to follow. From January 1, 2025, any operators without a legal license that continue to operate will face strict penalties."&nbsp;By the application deadline, a total of 114 companies had submitted their operating license applications through the official system, committing to comply with the regulations set by the Brazilian government. Dudena revealed that all compliant companies would be granted their operating permits at that time. However, the review process requires a thorough examination of extensive company documentation, making it a challenging task to complete the review by November.&nbsp;Proper Advertising Strategy is Key to a Legal MarketIn addition to strict regulations, Plínio Lemos Jorge, President of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL), urged gambling operators to adopt clear advertising strategies to help players distinguish between legal and illegal platforms. He emphasized, "Advertising is the best tool to guide players into the legal market. Through effective communication, we can ensure that players understand gambling is purely entertainment, not a way to make money."&nbsp;Lemos Jorge further pointed out that illegal platforms, which are not subject to taxes, can offer higher rewards to attract players. Therefore, if advertisements lack clear guidance and explanations, players are likely to turn to the black market, further weakening the competitiveness of the legal market.&nbsp;Additionally, Brazil's <a href="https://brazilcham.com/brazilian-ministry-of-finance-issues-new-ordinances-on-fixed-odds-betting/">Ordinance SPA/MF No. 1,233&nbsp;</a>establishes specific regulations for advertising content in the gambling industry. For example, all ads must display an "18+" symbol and emphasize the risks involved in gambling. The Brazilian government also prohibits gambling companies from using social media for marketing, especially when targeting minors, and will enforce a zero-tolerance policy for such violations.&nbsp;Challenges and Risks of the Black MarketDespite Brazil's efforts to promote a legal market, the black market remains a significant challenge. According to the latest data from <a href="https://www.yieldsec.com/about/">Yield Sec</a>, approximately 49 million Brazilians engaged in gambling through illegal channels in the first half of 2024, accounting for around 23% of the country's population. These figures indicate that the black market still controls a large portion of the market.&nbsp;Currently, the Brazilian government is actively working with digital media giants like Google and Meta to remove ads for illegal websites and plans to restrict illegal operators from using Brazil's instant payment tool, <a href="https://www.bcb.gov.br/en/financialstability/pix_en">Pix</a>. However, ANJL President Plínio Lemos Jorge expressed concerns about overly restrictive advertising regulations, warning that an extreme regulatory regime could push players toward illegal platforms. He cited <a href="https://igamingbusiness.com/legal-compliance/german-court-rules-ggls-tightened-ad-restrictions-permissible/">Germany</a> and Italy as examples where excessive regulation led to an increase in black market activity. "Banning gambling ads is not the solution, and it will only allow illegal operators to monopolize the market," said Lemos Jorge. "The right advertising strategy and a sound regulatory framework are key to driving the growth of the legal market."&nbsp;OutlookAs Brazil moves toward the legalization of gambling, the government and industry players are working to guide the market transition through clear regulations and effective advertising. Both Dudena and Lemos Jorge believe that with proper regulation and promotional strategies, the legal market will gradually expand, offering players a safer and more protected gambling environment. The direction of Brazil's policies also suggests that the government will continue to crack down on the illegal market while encouraging more operators to participate in the legal market, promoting the overall healthy development of the industry.

Brazil to Complete Gambling License Review by Year-End, Moving Toward a Regulated Market

A new integrated resort in <a href="https://psa.gov.ph/classification/psgc?q=psgc/barangays/072226000&amp;regcode=07&amp;provcode=22">Lapu-Lapu City</a>, Cebu, Philippines, called Mactan World Resorts, is set to break ground in 2025. The project, led by <a href="https://www.allianceglobalinc.com/subsidiaries/travellers-international-hotel-group-inc">Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. (TIHGI)</a>, will involve an investment of approximately NT$9.5 billion and become a key development within the Mactan Newtown development plan. Spanning 300,000 square meters, the resort will feature luxury hotels, a casino, and a variety of entertainment facilities, aiming to attract tourists and bring significant economic benefits to the Cebu region.Attracting International Tourists and VIPsMactan World Resorts is just a 20-minute drive from <a href="https://www.mactancebuairport.com/">Cebu International Airport</a>, a key advantage that will boost its appeal to tourists. Cebu International Airport is the second-largest airport in the Philippines after Manila. Data shows that 17% of global travelers choose Cebu as their vacation destination, and this new project will further enhance the region's tourism resources.TIHGI’s Expansion VisionThe development of Mactan World Resorts is an important step in TIHGI’s strategy to expand its market presence. The group already operates <a href="https://www.newportworldresorts.com/cn/zh-cn-stay-escapes-2023">Newport World Resorts</a>, the largest integrated resort in Manila’s Entertainment City. This new project will extend the company’s reach to Cebu, further strengthening its market competitiveness. Last year, TIHGI applied for a casino operation license from the <a href="https://www.pagcor.ph/index.php">Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)</a> to support the resort's growth.Boosting the Local Economy and Creating New JobsIn addition to the potential growth in tourism and entertainment industries, Mactan World Resorts will create 5,000 jobs during its construction and operation phases. The project is expected to generate around NT$1.36 billion in property and business tax revenue within five years. Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan expressed that this development will not only raise Cebu’s international profile but also serve as a significant driver for the local economy.Expanding Further to Other Philippine Tourist HotspotsBeyond Cebu, Kevin Tan, Chairman of TIHGI’s parent company Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI), has revealed plans for future investments in other regions of the Philippines, particularly in internationally renowned tourist destinations like Boracay. He emphasized that these projects will help stimulate local tourism and contribute to long-term, stable economic growth across the Philippines.Challenges and Future OutlookAlthough the development plan has generated excitement, experts have pointed out potential challenges. Alfred Benjamin R. Garcia, Head of Research at AP Securities, noted that while Cebu has strong tourism potential, competing with Manila’s Entertainment City will be a challenge. However, as TIHGI continues to expand its business footprint, the company is expected to grow in the coming years and strengthen its position in the Philippine integrated resort industry.

Mactan World Resorts to Break Ground in 2025, Creating 5,000 New Jobs

As digital assets become increasingly prevalent, cryptocurrencies have surged to the forefront of global discussions. Recent policy shifts in various countries and market fluctuations indicate that factors such as regulation, political intent, and market demand are rapidly shaping the future of cryptocurrencies.<h3>The Dilemma of Regulatory Balance</h3>Establishing strict regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies can provide institutional investors with clear legal guidelines, enhance consumer protection, prevent fraud, and maintain the integrity of the financial system through measures like the European Union’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD). Conversely, a more lenient regulatory environment may better foster innovation and development, allowing startups to experiment with new applications of cryptocurrency technology with relatively low investment risks. This is crucial for addressing current issues related to transaction speed, cost, scalability, and interoperability in the cryptocurrency space.<h3>Impact of National Policies</h3>The proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming has garnered global attention. The bill suggests that the U.S. government purchase 5% of the world's Bitcoin supply as a strategic reserve, aiming to enhance financial resilience through diversified asset allocation in the face of economic stability concerns. Lummis believes that this move could create a better economic future for the next generation, particularly against the backdrop of the U.S. national debt surpassing the $35 trillion mark.However, the proposal has also sparked widespread controversy. Some market analysts are concerned that large-scale government holdings of Bitcoin could lead to an overreliance on digital assets and potential market interventions. Jim Bianco of <a href="https://www.biancoresearch.com/visitor-home/">Bianco Research</a> points out that, whether in the form of dollars or Bitcoin, government reserves usually do more harm than good, potentially leading to market imbalances and undermining investor confidence.<h3>Caution and Support in the Financial Industry</h3>In the business world, while cryptocurrencies have gained substantial support in certain sectors, many corporate giants remain cautious. Renowned investor Warren Buffett and <a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/tw/asset-management/welcome/">JPMorgan</a> Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have both expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies, citing high risks of fraud and money laundering due to their volatility and anonymity. Nonetheless, JPMorgan Chase has engaged in blockchain technology development and launched the "JPM Coin" service for blockchain-based deposits, indicating that they do not entirely dismiss this emerging technology.On the other hand, companies and investors who support cryptocurrencies believe that, with technological advancements and market maturation, cryptocurrencies have the potential to become mainstream financial products. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a well-known supporter of cryptocurrencies, and his stance significantly influences market trends and price fluctuations.<h3>Market Volatility and Investor Sentiment</h3>The recent significant price fluctuations in Bitcoin highlight the instability of the cryptocurrency market. In early August, Bitcoin’s price dropped below $30,000, briefly approaching the $25,000 mark, reaching a two-month low. This volatility not only triggered market panic but also led to an increase in long liquidations. Market analysis suggests that this fluctuation is influenced by various factors, including overall economic uncertainty, expectations of interest rate hikes in the United States, and growing global regulatory pressure.Despite heightened market volatility, some investors remain optimistic about the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies. They believe that the decentralized and inflation-resistant nature of cryptocurrencies offers investment opportunities outside traditional financial markets. With technological advancements and market maturation, cryptocurrencies could become an integral part of the future financial ecosystem.<h3>A Future Filled with Challenges and Opportunities</h3>The future development of cryptocurrencies will depend on the interplay of various factors. Finding a balance between stability and innovation will be key to cryptocurrencies becoming mainstream financial instruments. Although the path forward is fraught with challenges, it also presents new opportunities for investors and businesses. Whether cryptocurrencies can become an indispensable part of the financial world in the future remains to be seen and warrants close attention.&nbsp;

Politics, Business, and Market Demand Shape the Future of Cryptocurrencies

Alejandro Tengco, Chairman and CEO of the <a href="https://www.pagcor.ph/index.php">Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor)</a>, stated in a July interview with Bloomberg that the Philippines is poised to surpass Singapore by 2025, becoming the world's second-largest gambling hub after Macau. He believes that if Singapore's gambling market does not expand, it will stagnate, giving the Philippines a chance to catch up.&nbsp;Challenging Singapore's Market DominanceAlthough the Philippines already has dozens of casinos of varying sizes across the country, last year's 76 casinos and gaming halls only generated $4.8 billion in total gross gaming revenue (GGR), far below that of Singapore. However, the Philippines is actively expanding its gambling market to narrow this revenue gap. For example, the $1 billion five-star <a href="https://sn.solaireresort.com/">Solaire North resort</a>, owned by <a href="https://www.bloomberry.ph/">Bloomberry Resorts Corporation</a>, opened in Quezon City in May. The resort boasts 200 gaming tables and thousands of slot machines, showing strong future growth potential. In addition to Quezon City, new casino projects are planned in Clark, Boracay, and Cebu. The previously stalled Emerald Bay Casino is also likely to resume construction, which could bring more international tourists and gambling revenue to the Philippines.&nbsp;Boosting International Tourism, South Korean Tourists as Key DriversThe concentration of these new resorts is expected to accelerate the global tourism industry and help the Philippines achieve its goal of attracting 7.7 million international tourists annually by 2024. As of April, nearly 2 million international tourists had visited the Philippines, 94% of whom were foreigners, with the rest being overseas Filipinos. Despite a decline in Chinese tourists, the number of South Korean tourists has significantly increased, making up more than 27% of the total tourist base.Among international tourists visiting for gambling and entertainment, South Koreans top the list, followed by tourists from Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. Tengco hopes that the construction of new integrated resorts will offset the decline in Chinese tourists and attract more international visitors.Additionally, the Philippines aims to strengthen anti-money laundering (AML) regulations to attract more foreign investment and be removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, improving its image as a country with significant banking system vulnerabilities prone to financial crime.&nbsp;Singapore Expands Casino Investments to Counter the Philippines, GGR Targeted at $10 BillionDespite the Philippines' ambitious plans, Singapore is also actively expanding its gambling market. Resorts World Sentosa is set to begin a $5 billion expansion project, RWS 2.0, which is expected to add 700 new resort rooms. Meanwhile, Universal Studios Singapore's Minion Park and the S.E.A. Aquarium are under construction, with an expected opening in early 2025. Marina Bay Sands plans a $3.3 billion expansion, including a fourth hotel tower, expanded gaming floors, convention facilities, and a 15,000-seat arena.With these developments and policies, Las Vegas Sands CEO Rob Goldstein estimates that Singapore's total GGR could reach $7 billion this year, and possibly even $10 billion in the future. For the Philippines to catch up, it will need to respond proactively and has a long road ahead.

CQ9 Welcomes You at iGB Live 2024!

Recently, SOFTSWISS analyzed the data of approximately 700,000 SpinArena.net users to generalize the characteristics of social casino players, their active hours and most popular game types, providing important insights for future development.Social Casino Player ProfileAccording to the analysis, the majority of social casino players choose to hide their age and gender. However, for those who do choose to disclose information, it was found that the majority of players are young males under the age of 30. The gaming behavior and preferences of this group have a significant impact on the design and promotion of social casino games.&nbsp;Geographically, SpinArena’s players are primarily from Germany, followed by the United Kingdom<a href="#_msocom_1">[F1]</a>&nbsp;, as well as other European countries such as the Netherlands, Latvia, Italy, Greece, and Poland. This correlates closely with SpinArena’s positioning in the European market and reflects the high level of interest in social casino games among players in the region.When Do Players Participate in Social Casino Games?According to SpinArena.net’s backend data, players spend about 47 minutes playing each time on average, with a maximum of 12 hours in 2024. Players are most active during the day and in the evening, especially between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the highest number of players are online. Between 2 and 5 a.m., players are the least active, with about one-third of the activity before midnight.&nbsp;In a week, players are most active on Fridays and Sundays, while Mondays are relatively less active. Overall, however, the difference between the most and least active days of the week is only about 10%, indicating that the day of the week does not have a significant effect on whether players are online or not.Player Retention RateRegarding player retention, data from SpinArena.net shows that nearly 40% of German users are most active on the same day they install the app, while retention drops to 14% after the 30th day of installation. This suggests that despite the appeal of the game to players, players’ behavioral patterns are still influenced by biological cyclicality and social responsibility over time, leading to a significant decline in player activity.Most Popular Social Casino GamesAlthough SpinArena.net has over 3,000 games on its shelves, stats shows that players spend nearly half of their time on the top 15 most popular games. The top five most popular games alone account for a third of all game time, and like traditional online casinos, slots remain the most enduring game category.The Appeal of Social Casino Gaming“This analysis demonstrates that social casinos not only fulfill the demand for traditional casinos, but also provide a safer gaming experience, combining gaming and social interaction while eliminating financial risk. Players can stay socially connected with their friends while playing their favorite games,” said by Jochen Martinez, Founder of Ously Games GmbH.Looking to the FutureVitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer of SOFTSWISS, addressed that social casinos constitute a strong trend in the global entertainment industry, and that the integration of social casinos with iGaming is expected to become the mainstream of development as player behavior is consistent with that of traditional online casino games.

Revealing Social Casino Trends: Insights into Players’ Behavior

Earlier this month, the Special Secretariat of Federal Revenue of Brazil’s Ministry of Finance published Normative Ordinance No 2,191 in the Diário Oficial da União (Official Diary of the Union), which establishes a new tax framework for the gaming industry in Brazil. Prior to this normative regulation, the Special Department of Federal Revenue of Brazil (Receita Federal do Brasil, RFB) had already announced the imposition of a personal income tax (IRPF) on gaming, and therefore, this new regulation further elaborates on the specific tax policy.The Brazilian government has been active in establishing complete gaming regulations recently, and on December 21, 2023, the country passed a legislation regulating sports betting and video games. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the current president of Brazil, signed Bill No. 3,626/2023 at the end of last December, officially bringing it into the legal system.According to a decision of the Economic Affairs Commission last November, Brazil will impose a 15% personal income tax on gaming. However, the tax will only apply to net winnings of more than R$2,824. The tax will be withheld at the time the winnings are paid, meaning that players will be taxed before they receive their winnings. Gaming operators will be responsible for the calculation and collection of such tax.Tax Coverage and CalculationUnder these new regulations, the net winnings are defined as the difference between the winnings minus the amount wagered for each sports event or each online gaming session. However, the player’s losses will not be included in the deduction. This means that a player will be taxed on all winnings even though their gross in-game earnings may be in the red.Reactions and Concerns of the Gaming IndustryThe Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável, IBJR) has expressed strong opposition to the new tax policy. The IBJR argued that the new tax framework “will jeopardize the development of the gaming industry and remains legally questionable.” The IBJR stated, “The policy of requiring a separate tax on winnings and not allowing losses to be deducted, which would subject bettors who have actually lost money to tax, is unconstitutional and negatively affects consumers.”The institute also warned that this law could jeopardize all the efforts made by Brazil’s National Congress and the Prizes and Betting Secretariat to regulate the market. They argue that the goal of the regulation should be to achieve positive behavior that encourages operators and bettors, which in turn contributes to tax revenues.A New Level of Regulation is on the HorizonBrazil is currently rolling out its gaming regulation policies in four stages. Lawyer Regis Dudena was appointed head of policy regulation at the Prizes and Betting Secretariat (SPA) in April and is leading the process.&nbsp;To date, the published ordinances include Normative Ordinance No. 615, which prohibits operators from accepting credit card or cryptocurrency payments. In addition, Normative Ordinance No. 722 regulates data centers located outside of Brazil, requiring these countries to sign an international legal cooperation agreement with Brazil.Brazil plans to fully promulgate its regulatory policies by the end of July, with the third stage of regulations covering advertisements and video games, and the fourth stage focusing on how the tax revenue generated will be used for socially responsible causes. The gaming industry is keeping a watchful eye on the future development of these regulations, hoping for a more constructive regulatory framework that will facilitate the healthy development of the market.

BiS Sigma Americas 2024 coming soon

Apple recently announced the launch of a new “Apple Sports” app, allowing millions of users to track sports events more easily. This news has excited many sports fans. With the addition of this global giant, it indicates that the online sports betting market may face a disruptive change.&nbsp;Apple’s move attracted widespread attention. Designed specifically for iPhone users, this free app provides live scores, statistics and other information about the game, all designed with speed and simplicity at its core. Eddie Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of services, said: “We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want — an app that delivers incredibly fast access to scores and stats.”&nbsp;While the app is ostensibly dominated by the Fantasy Sports platform and sports betting company DraftKings, there’s no doubt that Apple is also a major driver of this potential revolution.&nbsp;In the past, the sports app market was largely limited to smaller platforms and established brands like Walt Disney’s ESPN and PENN Entertainment’s theScore. However, with the addition of Apple, this field will be raised to a new and fiercely competitive level of business war. In this regard, Dmitry Belyanin, an expert in the field of iGaming, made some key comments. He said on social media: “Apple is not involved in this game, they own this game, they are even the referee of this game.” He questioned Apple’s motives in developing this live score application.&nbsp;Apple, for its part, has cleverly eliminated the gambling element from the app upfront, allowing users to hide betting odds through a settings menu. The app, already available in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, includes a functional area called “Sports Center” where users can watch sports events through Apple’s flagship Apple TV streaming service.&nbsp;Apple Sports will promptly update each league in the current season, including MLS, NBA, NCAA men’s and women’s basketball, NHL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Mexican Liga MX, French Ligue 1, Premier League and Serie A, etc. It also promises to gradually add information on other leagues, including MLB, NFL, NCAAF, NWSL and WNBA.&nbsp;According to an introduction released by Apple, users can freely switch between scores and upcoming games, and explore game-by-game information, team data, lineup details and real-time betting odds. Users can also click into the Apple TV app to watch live games from Apple and related streaming media.&nbsp;Overall, Apple’s entry into the online sports betting market could trigger a major change. For Apple, this may be just a small trial, but for the entire industry, it may be a huge challenge. It can be said to be today’s sports betting and tomorrow’s iGaming era.

A Small Bite of Apple, a Giant Leap for iGaming

According to the latest report from Vixio Regulatory Intelligence, Brazil’s online gambling market is expected to show rapid growth over the next five years, with annual revenues reaching nearly $5 billion.&nbsp;The news is backed up by experts in the field, with Vixio’s chief analyst James Kilsby noting that “the move late last year by Brazilian lawmakers to add online casino games to legislation for sports betting should enable Brazil to realize its potential as a major market on a global scale.” However, he also cautioned that the true size of this market will depend on a series of upcoming policy decisions by the Brazilian government, which will have a direct impact on the competitive landscape and attractiveness of the market.&nbsp;In addition to revenue projections, the report also emphasized the competitive landscape of the market. Many experts believe that the Brazilian legal gaming market will attract a large number of domestic and foreign operators, creating a highly dynamic and competitive environment. This will bring more choices and services, as well as stimulate innovation and development in the industry.&nbsp;Issues such as advertising in gaming have also received attention from experts. According to the report, with the further opening of the Brazilian gaming market, advertisement in gaming will become an issue of much concern. Experts suggested that the government and the industry should work together to establish reasonable advertising regulations to protect consumer interests and maintain market order.&nbsp;Moreover, the expansion of lotteries and casinos is also seen as an important development direction for the Brazilian gaming market. According to experts, by increasing the number of lotteries and casinos, more players will be attracted to participate in the market, thus promoting growth and diversification.&nbsp;Despite the enormous potential of this market, there is still a lot of uncertainty as to how large it could become. How the Brazilian government will define the market and how much regulatory relief it will allow remain to be determined through the upcoming interpretation of the regulations, with issues such as the scope of permitted online gaming, the legality of bonus offers, and the application of taxes on the benefits to the players being of paramount importance.&nbsp;Facing the emerging market where the risk of uncertainty is still high, operators and suppliers should be fully aware of the relevant laws and regulations and the market development trend in Brazil in order to grasp the opportunities in the new blue ocean.

Brazil on the Verge of a New Era of Online Gaming

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently announced the establishment of its federal regulatory authority for governing the domestic gambling, a move seen within the industry as a significant milestone towards the legalization of the gambling market.&nbsp;According to current federal regulations, anyone caught gambling in the UAE could be sentenced for up to 2-years imprisonment and a fine of AED 50,000 (approx. US$13,615).The establishment of the General Commercial Gaming Regulation Authority (GCGRA) therefore signifies the development of a national framework for regulating lotteries and commercial gambling in the UAE, indicating further expansion of the industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;As specific regulations pend promulgation, some operators have begun taking corresponding strategic actions in the region, including the establishment of the Wynn Al Marjan Island, the latest addition to Wynn’s resort line, on the country’s man-made archipelago of Marjan Island.&nbsp;While federal laws still maintain a relatively strict attitude towards gambling, the establishment of the GCGRA lays the groundwork for future developments. The GCGRA will lead by experienced executives, including CEO Kevin Mulally, a former executive director of the Missouri Gaming Commission with 17 years of experience at Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), and the Chairman of the Board Jim Murren, former chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.&nbsp;Potential relaxation of industry regulations and permissions to online operators and online betting remains undecided, while multiple sources indicate that companies like Wynn have engaged in talks with the government to establish a regulatory framework.Meanwhile, there are reports indicating the UAE plans to impose a 25% income tax on the industry, with high-end gaming subject to an 8% tax.&nbsp;Currently, the Wynn Resort is actively preparing to enter the potential market in the UAE. The highly anticipated Al-Marjan Resort and Casino are expected to open in early 2027. With a ballpark cost of US$39 Billion, the new resort will include amusement areas, 1500 hotel rooms, dining and leisure facilities, spa, etc. Although licenses are pending, and operational details remain to be confirmed, the CEO of Wynn expresses confidence in the prospects of this market, considering it one of the most exciting new markets in decades.

UAE Opens Up the Potential New Market of Gambling

In recent years, the rapid growth of iGaming market in Latin America has brought new business opportunities for various entertainment activities. Preferences among players, whether for pace, real-time interactions, or a love of sports, continue to evolve.&nbsp;Pace Enthusiasts and Instant Strategy FanaticsIn this thriving market, some players seek unparalleled excitement, aiming to enjoy games in a very short time and expecting substantial gains quickly from a gaming platform (or within a game).While loyal players of such iGaming genre come from various backgrounds and age groups, increasingly, young people, especially those aged 18 to 30 from urban areas, prefer this fast-paced gaming experience.&nbsp;For these users, classic slot machines are an ideal option as they offer diverse themes, high-quality graphics, and bonuses. Furthermore, they enjoy other formats like Crash games, where they can win substantial rewards before the game ends.&nbsp;Real-time Interaction EnthusiastsThis group of players values the capability to interact with others in real-time. Some expects experiences similar to physical casinos at home, while others, particularly young people, appreciate innovative game content and technological resources. They have a strong passion for the game itself, valuing the communications with other players and dealers over the game results.&nbsp;Sports LoversThe motivations of sports lovers differ significantly from the previous two groups. They encompass adults of all ages and geographic locations who share a common passion for sports events.For these individuals, the range of choices is extensive, and they seek game content that meets their expectations, thus being less restricted by a single game or platform.&nbsp;Overall, the iGaming market in Latin America is a diverse ecosystem catering to various entertainment tastes and preferences. With ongoing improvements in website accessibility and technology, diverse audience demands will continue to be met and stimulated. Whether it's the thrill of excitement, real-time interaction, or the love of sports, players will have increasingly more game options, thanks to providers' continuous efforts to provide premium entertainment experiences, ensuring market vitality and a win-win situation for the next generation of iGaming.

Brand-New Development of iGaming Market in Latin America

As time goes by, the iGaming industry is bound to face new challenges in 2024. In this regard, here are some of the key trends that will shape the future of iGaming.&nbsp;Personalization and CustomizationAs technology continues to evolve, iGaming platforms need to offer more engaging gaming experiences. Standardized gaming solutions are no longer enough to satisfy gamers. Instead, personalized and customized gaming platforms have become an inevitable trend as well as an evident practice in the industry nowadays, especially for VIP gamers.&nbsp;Diversification of Distribution ChannelsIn the future, iGaming products will reach out to global players through mainstream channels such as TV and streaming media services. This closer integration of gaming with other forms of entertainment will provide players with a more comprehensive gaming experience and allow products to reach new players through different channels. The emergence of ESPN Bet, which blurs the line between media broadcasting and betting, is a perfect example.&nbsp;Mobile-First EntertainmentWith the rise of entertainment-driven development in the industry, and benefiting from the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced players to shift to online gaming via smartphones and tablets, the need for mobile-first development has become a major focus.As more and more young gamers join iGaming, it will become critical for platforms and game makers to launch products that support responsive technology and provide a good mobile experience. Even though this may be becoming common knowledge, an overview of current platforms and gaming products reveals that the issue of mobile adaptability is still being ignored by many companies.&nbsp;Optimized Application of Artificial IntelligenceThe application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in iGaming will be further expanded, mainly focusing on changing the user experience. Personalized gaming experiences that meet the unique needs of players will be the core application of AI. For example, GR8 Tech has long been using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to recommend content to players and offer bonuses to individual players. At the same time, AI will be used extensively to ensure fair gameplay, detect and prevent potential fraud, and improve game security.&nbsp;Advanced Applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)AR and VR technologies will be more widely used in iGaming to enhance the realism of the gaming experience. Although these technologies are currently used mainly for special events and promotions, they are expected to become an important part of iGaming's evolution as the technology continues to develop.&nbsp;Regulatory TrendsGlobal regulation of gaming will continue to increase, particularly in emerging markets such as Latin America, Asia and Africa. This will lead to more structured and stringent regulations. Therefore, operators will have to quickly adapt to new standards, transparency and ethical practices to protect players.&nbsp;In 2024, CQ9 will actively respond to these changes and continue to stand out in the industry with its creativity and adaptability, as it and the iGaming industry move towards a future of innovation and diversity!

iGaming 2024: The Future That Blends Innovation and Entertainment

While the regulations for real money casinos are getting increasingly stringent around the world, there is one form of gaming that is very similar to betting&nbsp;which is being exempted in a growing number of jurisdictions. It is called&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_skill-based_game" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">skill-based gaming</a>, meaning that the outcome of a game is dominated by the skills of its participants, and that every decision and move made by a player in every game is critical to the outcome.&nbsp;Definition of Skill-based Gaming A skill-based game is one whose outcomes are highly dependent on the skills and decisions of the players, rather than just their luck. In this type of game, players need to utilize a variety of skills, such as strategic planning, reaction time, and memory, which have a direct impact on the outcomes of the game. The only players who will be able to win in a skill-based game are those who are able to plan systematically, understand the nuances of each plan, and make informed decisions at each critical point.&nbsp;Differences from Probability-based Games The outcomes depend on skill or pure randomnessAs mentioned earlier, one of the major distinctions of skill-based games is that the outcomes depend on the skill level of players, rather than on pure randomness. For example, in poker games such as chess and blackjack, a player's strategy and card counting ability directly determines whether they win or lose the game. In contrast, in conventional probability-based games, such as slot machines or roulette, outcomes are largely controlled by random factors, and it is difficult for players to influence the outcomes of the game through their skills.&nbsp;Challenge and entertainmentSkill-based games emphasize challenge and competition, in which players seek to win by improving their skill level. This challenge makes skill-based games more popular among players who seek a sense of accomplishment and competitive enjoyment. Conversely, probability-based games focus more on entertainment and are more appealing to players who want to relax and count on their luck.&nbsp;High level of controlIn skill-based games, players can continuously improve their skills to increase their chances of winning the game. However, in probability-based games, where outcomes are largely influenced by randomness, improving skills has a relatively limited impact on the game's outcomes. Therefore, having control over the game is also a major factor that keeps fans of skill-based games hooked.&nbsp;Future Trend of the Gaming Industry The proliferation of skill-based games has inspired traditional gaming platforms to innovate and introduce more skill-based game options to meet the needs of different players. For suppliers, it is a good business to have real money coming in and going out of skill games that meet the definition, and to have easy access to payment channels and advertisements in mainstream media without the need to obtain a gaming license.&nbsp;However, skill-based gaming is inevitably faced with some challenges, especially in terms of regulations and compliance. The definitions of skill-based games vary widely under different legal frameworks. For example, Malta clearly distinguishes "skill-based games" as an economic activity conducted through remote communication techniques for the purpose of obtaining property, the outcome of which is entirely or mainly determined by skill, but does not include sporting events; France stipulates that skill-based games are also considered to be gambling; and China's legislation defines skill-based games as a form of gambling, while China's legislation approach is unconcerned with whether the determining factor of the game is chance or skill; as long as money is involved, it is considered gambling. At the same time, the categorization of skill-based games is more complex than probability-based games, and there is still a need to develop clearer definitions of scope as well as a set of guidelines.&nbsp;Conclusion Overall, the emergence of skill-based games has injected new impetus and vitality into the gaming industry. This revolution not only satisfies players' desire for challenges, but also prompts the gaming industry to innovate and provide players with richer games. Relevant regulatory units should formulate regulations adapted to the new era as soon as possible to safeguard the fairness and legality of the games.

Defying the Odds, Skill-Based Gaming Spearheads the Trend

Over the years, casinos around the world have continued to undergo a variety of amazing transformations, from the glamorous brick-and-mortar casinos often seen in movies, to the era of online casinos that offer a wealth of entertainment possibilities, meaning that players can enjoy the excitement of casino gaming from anywhere and at any time.However, the world of online casinos has also changed recently with the advent of sweepstakes casinos. These casinos are gaining momentum in the industry, and some even believe that they will overtake regular online casinos in the future. In this article, we will explore what sweepstakes casinos are, how they work, and how they differ from traditional online casinos.&nbsp;What is a Sweepstakes Casino?<a href="https://www.pennlive.com/casinos/reviews/sweepstakes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sweepstakes casinos</a>&nbsp;(or sweeps casinos) often seem familiar to those who have played at traditional online casinos because of the similarities in the way they operate. After registering for an account, users can enjoy playing a wide range of online games such as blackjack, roulette, chess, and various slot games.Another similarity between sweepstakes casinos and traditional online casinos is that they both offer a variety of prizes for players to claim, including sign-up bonuses, daily log-in bonuses, giveaways, and prizes earned through tournaments.&nbsp;How Does a Sweepstakes Casino Differ from a Traditional Online Casino?Although sweepstakes casinos are similar to traditional online casinos in terms of their appearance, gameplay, and game choices, their currency systems are quite different. Typically, sweepstakes casinos use two types of currency:&nbsp;CoinsWhen a player registers at a sweepstakes casino, they are not required to deposit cash into their account. Instead, the player can purchase coins (or other tokens that perform the same function) and use them to play on the platform. However, these coins do not have any monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash; they can only be used in games.&nbsp;Sweepstakes CoinsThe second type of coin commonly found in sweepstakes casinos is the Sweepstakes Coin (or substitutes for the same function). These coins cannot be purchased, but are given away by the system in the form of coins, registrations, daily logins, or in the form of freebies. Lucky Draw Coins can also be used in the game and have no physical monetary value. However, they can be exchanged for prizes, even real-world cash, and can be withdrawn from the player's account.&nbsp;How Do the Regulations of Traditional Casinos Affect the Popularity of Sweepstakes Casinos?The main reason why sweepstakes casinos have flourished is that they are legal in many areas where traditional online casinos are strictly regulated or banned. As a result, players in the area can experience the fun of gaming through sweepstakes casinos.Unlike traditional online casinos that require a cash deposit to play, players can play by giving away sweepstakes coins, which means that players are playing for free and therefore these casinos are not usually considered traditional gambling establishments.&nbsp;Are Sweepstakes Casinos Legal in All US States?Nevertheless, sweepstakes casinos are not necessarily legal in the entire United States.In some states, sweepstakes casinos are still restricted, and such differences depend on how each state views the rules regarding the sweepstakes casino format. For example, sweepstakes casinos are still&nbsp;<a href="https://wsgc.wa.gov/sweepstakes-faq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">prohibited in Washington&nbsp;</a>because the state's Gambling Commission considers sweepstakes casinos that combine lotteries with promotional contests - a new type of contest that is still not permitted under the state's statutes.&nbsp;Can Sweepstakes Casinos Replace Traditional Online Casinos?It remains to be observed whether sweepstakes casinos will replace traditional online casinos as the new favourite among players.Although sweepstakes casinos have seen a surge in popularity in states where they are permitted by law, it will be an uphill battle for them to completely replace traditional online casinos in the eyes of players unless state laws are changed to prohibit traditional online casinos from operating as well.However, in states where traditional online casinos are not permitted by statute, sweepstakes casinos are a promising business opportunity. After all, the format is still in its early stages of development for many players, and there are bound to be many more potential players waiting to be tapped into.In order to keep registered sweepstakes casino players as loyal customers, providers must continue to include attractive games and ways to drive players to earn sweepstakes coins.It is clear that this new type of casino game provider has a difficult road ahead of them in terms of how to drive the desire of players to log in to the games on a long-term and efficient basis.

Reinventing the Traditional Casino? The Rise of the Sweepstakes Casino

Chief Operating Officer of&nbsp;<a href="https://spribe.co/welcome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Spribe</a>, Giorgi Tsutskiridze, expressed his view of the company’s product,&nbsp;<a href="https://aviatorplaygame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Aviator</a>, and how it attracts players of a new generation.&nbsp;Along with the changes of generations, operators of online casinos try their best to attract target audiences of&nbsp;Millennials&nbsp;(Generation Y) and Generation Z, who have astonishing consumption potential. However, most of the operators failed to establish an effective market transaction chain with these groups of people in a meaningful way.An overview of current gaming and recreational options in the market shows the biggest reason might be these casinos failed to provide sufficient persuasion for these generations to give up mobile phone and video games and go for online casinos.&nbsp;Currently, there is an obvious gap on products to fill up in the new-generation gaming market.To fill up the gap,<a href="https://spribe.co/welcome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">&nbsp;Spribe</a>&nbsp;launched a new product, Aviator, to seize the attention of young people.The game is based on mobile phones and specialized in fast-temper games to attract players. It also allows players to socialize with each other during the game. Players are able to interact with each other through chats and compete with others for leaderboard points.Besides, Aviator contains a compatible mode with desktop computers, and it makes the game meeting preference of different groups widely.&nbsp;According to Giorgi Tsutskiridz, the Chief Operating Officer of&nbsp;<a href="https://spribe.co/welcome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Spribe</a>, there are three things that were highly focused during the development of&nbsp;<a href="https://aviatorplaygame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Aviator</a>.First, it is convenience and accessibility. Younger generations only use online gambling platforms that can be easily accessed through smart phones and tablets. Therefore, mobile devices are the key element that must not be ignored.At the same time, social interaction is also a must. Millennials are highly sociable and value the real-time interaction with others during the game. Without the communication with companions or the information from enemies, it makes the game boring and dull in comparison. Team connection between players is getting more and more important for the development of games.Lastly, transparency and fairness are non-negotiable. Generation Y take a skeptical attitude towards online gambling in general. Therefore, they are more likely to trust platforms that use the algorithm proved fairness, share betting odds in detail, and make commitments to responsible gambling.&nbsp;What is the special concern for casino games among Generation Y and Generation Z?<a href="https://spribe.co/welcome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Spribe</a>&nbsp;positions itself in the market as “developing games that are able to dig into the mental states among players of Millennials and Generation Z as well as provide them a restless experience from the first round of the game to the last round”.&nbsp;Live betting is a part of the multiplayer game and social network game launched by&nbsp;<a href="https://aviatorplaygame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Aviator</a>. It allows everyone in the game to see the betting amount and winning amount from other players. The special setup adds another layer of excitement to player experience, establishes trust to the game, and makes prize-winning more real instead of being something that can only be seen in the advertisement promoted by game providers. It is why&nbsp;<a href="https://aviatorplaygame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Aviator</a>&nbsp;is popular among this group of people.The game is currently on more than 2,000 online gambling platforms. There are more than 10 million players competing every month. It can deal with up to 10,000 bets at the same time, and there are more than 165,000 bets every minute all over the world.&nbsp;Through&nbsp;<a href="https://aviatorplaygame.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Aviator,</a>&nbsp;Giorgi also realized that players like to control the game. They hope to create some impacts to the result of the game even though the game is only a game of chance. Therefore, in Aviator, the connection between players’ decision and the result is clear and impressive.Players can also enjoy the competition of the game and the chat with others. These are the key elements of Aviator’s success. Therefore, not only be limited to the product, Spribe will continue incorporating the key elements into games launched in the future.

Online Gambling is Brought in Line with Generation Y and Generation Z

Growth rate of commercial casino GGR has declined, but sports betting has achieved a growth rate of 16%&nbsp;The New Your State Gaming Commission recently published the financial report for September of 2023, which outlined the performances of commercial casinos, mobile sports betting, and electronic game industry in the state of New York.&nbsp;The report pointed out that, compared with the same period last year, the total GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) of commercial casinos had decreased by USD 2.1 million, from USD 61.7 million in September of 2022 down to USD 59.6 million in September of 2023.&nbsp;Judging from the four commercial casinos addressed in the New York State Gaming Commission report, there was an overall decline of 3%, which even though may not seem significant upon first glance, but there’s no indication of such a phenomenon occurring in other related industry categories.&nbsp;In September of 2023, the GGR of mobile sports betting was USD 165.6 million, which is a 16% increase from last year’s report, where it was only USD 143.3 million. This significant growth rate is mainly attributed to two major brands – FanDuel and DraftKings, in which the former contributed to USD 76.9 million in September 2023 (USD 65.7 million in 2022), whereas the latter contributed to USD 61.4 million (USD 44.9 million in 2022).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, although the grow rate of electronic games is no match for mobile sport betting, but its revenue has also seen an increase compared with last year. In September 2023, the net profit of the industry was USD 191.7 million, a 6% net profit increase from the USD 180.2 million last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Overall, although the revenue of commercial casinos has seen a slight drop, the revenue of the New York gaming industry as a whole did increase. The figures published in this report do reflect a change in player preferences over the past year, as they now have gradually shifted from gambling in&nbsp;commercial casinos to online gaming.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/t7PrBNf4.png">Despite this, judging from the continued growth of the of the GGR in commercial casinos as shown from the performance of the figures, commercial casinos are far from down and out even though it is experiencing a drop in growth rate. As of now, this industry is still very much preferred by players to a certain extent, and there is still much room for profit in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The iGaming industry has consistently put a spotlight on diversity and inclusion in recent years, moving away from limiting itself to only talents with experience in the gaming industry, and beginning to welcome young blood from different backgrounds. Earlier this year, Pentasia presented their recommendations for a more diverse and inclusive environment in the gaming industry at the ICE London panel discussion, where they emphasized that the key initial step would be to delve into the extensive gaming industry management database to understand how companies are approaching the issue. Pentasia made it clear in the presentation that, “We’re not looking only for people with experience in gaming, but those who demonstrate enthusiasm and interest in a wide range of things.” While this may seem like an obvious point of view, given the long history of an issue with gender diversity in the gaming industry, it is unlikely to change unless companies are willing to hire people with no experience in the gaming industry.Fortunately, thanks to the strong support of Alastair Cleland, Pentasia’s Managing Director of Recruitment for the iGaming industry, there are an increasing number of gaming companies that are beginning to embrace this concept. He said, “We've been receiving a lot of requests lately from mid-sized and tier one gaming companies to provide them with a more diverse roster of candidates.” He added: “When we receive such requests, we usually advise recruiters to consider a wider range of candidates from outside the gaming industry, and in most cases, those companies are generally receptive to this idea”. Likewise, Andrea Talreja, Head of Human Resources at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.qih-group.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">QiH Group</a>, holds a similar view. “For roles involving regulatory control or compliance issues, it's important to have a foundation of industry knowledge, especially in the ever-changing legal landscape of the UK,” said Talreja. Yet she added, “But there are some roles, such as digital marketing, where experience in other industries can also be an unexpected bonus.” She also finds that this innovative perspective not only helps to improve stereotypical gender ratios in the workplace, but also brings a new way of thinking to the company. Nevertheless, adopting such a diverse approach to recruitment has not been easy, and the issues needed to be taken care of during the actual recruiting process are often more than expected. Both Cleland and Talreja said that when recruiting in the iGaming industry, male applicants tend to make up the majority of the pool, thus making it more time-consuming and difficult to assemble a diverse roster of applicants. This recruitment process often involves headhunting and a complex selection process utilizing various referral channels and social media platforms such as LinkedIn. Despite the tedious process, the results can be beneficial not only to the employer, but also to the new recruits who will be better suited to the job.A case in point is Anna Mackenzie, a data engineer at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pythiasports.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Pythia Sports</a>, a predictive sports modeling and data collection company. Mackenzie initially went into investment banking in the U.K. after earning her Engineering Science degree in 2017, but she soon realized she lacked enthusiasm for the industry and decided to go back to school to learn more about programming. Meanwhile, she drew on her particular passion for equestrianism, using equestrian data to develop her modeling skills. Eventually, she was headhunted because of her special expertise in both data engineering and equestrianism. Mackenzie is also a member of the group “Women in Data Science”. In this organization, she meets with young female job seekers interested in entering the sports betting field, helping them find the right position, providing career advice and creating a positive cycle for the industry. According to Talreja of QiH Group, as more women enter the gaming industry, there are more opportunities to attract other diverse job seekers. Once the gender ratio within the company reaches a reasonable level (QiH Group's workforce is currently close to gender-balanced), the company will be able to demonstrate that its workplace culture is diverse and inclusive. As a result, more candidates from various backgrounds will be attracted to join in, thereby bringing more different perspectives and creativity to the industry, which is sure to be a brand-new benefit to the iGaming industry as it moves towards a more diversified future.

Promoting Diversity in the iGaming Industry and Recruiting Young Blood from Multiple Sectors

The American Gaming Association’s annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globalgamingexpo.com/en-us.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Global Gaming Expo</a>, or G2E, returns Monday to Las Vegas, with its four-day trade show boasting the latest in gaming technology and products as well as a lineup of keynote speakers, educational workshops and networking events. The event at the Venetian Expo (formerly the Sands Expo) will run through Thursday, with nearly 350 exhibitors and sponsors. Organizers expect at least 25,000 attendees. “It’s really a tremendous period of growth and transformation in the gaming industry,” said Maureen Beddis, senior vice president of membership and events at the association. “A lot of that has to do with the continued legalization of gaming into new verticals like sports betting, and what we’re starting to see with iGaming. And, as the industry continues to experience that growth, we’re working at the G2E show to make sure that those areas of growth are also seen throughout the show.” Nathan Drane, senior vice president of global product management at Light &amp; Wonder, said the Las Vegas gaming manufacturer planned to show off old and new hardware, from classic machines that players already love to a new jumbo cabinet that he called large in “its name and large in its nature.” Light &amp; Wonder loves this time of year, which it calls a “Pre-G2E” period, Drane said, when the company spends six weeks leading up to the convention engaging with hundreds of customers to show them new products, get feedback and learn where it can improve. “It’s a rallying point for a company like ours,” Drane said. “We have all the studios trying to get all their products ready in the best form and shape they can be, to demonstrate to customers, investors, other companies and even our own internal people.” There’s a similar air of excitement over at Aristocrat Gaming, where employees are eager to display six games from their new NFL-licensed, league-themed portfolio, said Ryan Scott, vice president of commercial strategy. The gaming manufacturer is coming to G2E with brand-new, for-sale content, Scott said, just as it did last year. “The challenge was to come back and repeat that this year,” he said. “And that’s what we did. So we’re happy to show powerful portfolios, innovation ­— all of the above — and it’s gonna be really exciting.” The gaming industry is multifaceted, Beddis said, and the trade show will reflect that. Not only will attendees be able to see top-of-the-line slot machines and other gaming software, but they will also have the opportunity to engage with technology, payment, sports betting companies and more. “It’s really the place where the entire industry comes together, and — as the industry continues to grow — where those new segments of the industry are welcome, and kind of hop right in,” she said. Andrew Crowe, senior vice president of investor relations and growth initiatives at Las Vegas-based Sightline Payments, said G2E offered the “perfect timing” for the digital payments provider and mobile app developer, as it continues to establish an “omnichannel” payment experience for casino consumers, which they can use to spend across a resort property. The company uses G2E as an opportunity to connect with its partners in-person and collaborate further, as well as just to walk the trade show floor and consider how to improve the user experience. Because as important as the technology is, Crowe said, the user experience is ultimately what it’s all about. “It’s often how you stitch multiple technologies together — vertically integrate multiple providers so that they can conserve that greater good of a better user experience — that’s important,” he said. Beddis said she also was excited for the educational program, noting that people in the gaming industry loved to share knowledge. Even as gaming grows on both a national and global scale, she added,&nbsp;the energy of Las Vegas continues to make it the destination&nbsp;for a gaming convention like G2E. Its plethora of entertainment, dining and now sports set it apart from other destinations. “All of these things are really just continuing to put Las Vegas even bigger on the map and helping it retain its title as the Entertainment Capital of the World,” she said. “So, where else would it make sense to host G2E than right here, where all these exciting things are happening?” It’s critical that G2E be hosted in Las Vegas, because it’s still the best market for companies to launch their new products, conduct market research and so on, said Dave Kubajak, senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations at JCM, the global Southern Nevada company that leads the industry in automated transactions — like the return of credits after money is inserted into a slot machine. “I’ve watched gaming grow from being very little globally, to really being a major powerhouse of an industry globally, and I would say if you’re looking for the hub of technology and innovation and invention, it’s still here in Vegas, and definitely Nevada,” Kubajak said, emphasizing that the JCM booth at G2E would display the iVIZION bill validator, GEN5 thermal printer and ICB ASAP robot, which handles and processes cash from casinos. In fact, Kubajak said, even as gaming proliferates across the U.S. and trade shows kick off in new markets, many companies will still wait to premiere their products until G2E in Las Vegas, because Nevada is still the hub for any new technology or innovation in the industry. “All of your major players have their development teams here, their project management and product research teams here,” he said. “This really remains the global hub, and then they take the technology that’s developed here and they roll it out globally. But this is kind of where the magic happens.”

Exhibitors at Global Gaming Expo ready to ‘make the magic happen’ this week in Las Vegas

A recent report from SOFTSWISS, a leading software provider in the online gaming industry, emphasizes the significance and advantages of using artificial intelligence tools.The company's report outlines the applications of AI tools in content design, customization, player management, and real-time database analysis.&nbsp;Leveraging Artificial Intelligence ToolsSOFTSWISS' research and development team has developed a unique tool that utilizes machine learning to identify suspicious cases. Once flagged by the machine, such cases are sent to experts within the company's anti-fraud team. Through this application of machine learning and AI technology, SOFTSWISS analyzed nearly 62,000 data records in 2022 alone, resulting in over €16 million in cost savings for operators. This analysis task would have been a time-consuming and labor-intensive challenge if done manually.&nbsp;SOFTSWISS reveals that AI tools also bring benefits to enhancing player management efficiency.The company's R&amp;D department created a service named DOSSIER, used to analyze player behavior and enhance gaming experiences.With DOSSIER, operators can provide customized services to specific customers in real-time. Additionally, this service aids in identifying high potential lifetime value (LTV) customers, enabling operators to offer special incentives or assign them to individual managers for customer management.&nbsp;Furthermore, AI technology brings similar advantages to SOFTSWISS Sportsbook. After collecting data in real time, the company can provide customers with more tailored content. This allows customers to receive comments and recommendations that are more relevant to their preferences and interests, thus enhancing player experiences.&nbsp;Another significant application related to AI involves design.According to the SOFTSWISS report, its WebStudio utilizes AI technology for specific projects to generate unique and diverse content and concept art. The company notes that AI-generated content makes the work of animators and artists more efficient, streamlining the otherwise time-consuming process of image creation.&nbsp;Enhancing Efficiency with AI ToolsDespite the immense convenience and efficiency brought by artificial intelligence, Vitali Matsukevich, the CEO of SOFTSWISS, offers a recommendation for this new mode of operation: while AI can effectively analyze vast amounts of data, expert judgment is still essential for making final decisions. Relying solely on AI for business decisions is not a one-size-fits-all solution.He emphasizes the potential of AI technology in processing large amounts of data to enhance efficiency. However, over-reliance on AI in decision-making could lead to unforeseen consequences, potentially resulting in unpredictable economic losses if not properly controlled. Therefore, businesses should understand that the path to success with this new technology lies in finding the right balance between supervising and utilizing AI capabilities, rather than full dependence.

Artificial Intelligence Tools Bring Benefits to iGaming

Starting from the early 2000s, online gaming has experienced a rapid growth sprout which enabled it to evolve into a thriving and blooming industry. Gone are the usage of simple lines/graphics as well as very basic functions, online gaming now holds a market size worth tens of billions of US dollars. Currently, millions of online gamers have fallen in love with the plethora of online gaming experiences offered, making it a very valued form of entertainment. In this article, we shall discuss the groundbreaking developments in the field of online gaming as well as how it redefines the entertainment industry.&nbsp;Gambling Games on Mobile Devices&nbsp;While mobile games have been around for quite some time, as it has been circulating on the market for almost as long as online gambling games, it is a form of gaming that has only gained popularity recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such a surge in market scale not only can be attributed to the widespread usage of high performance smart phones and tablets, but the rapid addition of mobile gaming types in the app store also plays an important role.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the difficulty in obtaining traditional gaming devices such as the arcade or the personal computers, online gambling games on mobile devices are especially welcomed in the market of developing countries. In fact, it can be said that mobile online gaming has carved out a place of its own.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/7Wspc0aC.jpg">&nbsp;Blockchain Game: Apps That Are Enough to Shake Up the Gaming Industry&nbsp;In traditional games, specifically the games which contain trades of virtual items, players must comply with the End-User License Agreement (EULA) which states that the ownership of all in-game virtual items belongs to the game operators. Moreover, to avoid any gambling-related legal disputes or liabilities, an announcement is also made by the game operators stating that the virtual items issued in-game do not contain any actual economic value outside of other games or online stores. Blockchain games, however, works differently. Instead of game operators having ownership over all virtual items, the ownership of a NFT (virtual) item transacted in a blockchain game is permanently transferred over to the buyer. Also, all NFT items can be re-transacted freely in any partnering markets outside of the game, and thus giving real economic value to these NFT items, which in turn brought incomparable advantages to the online gaming world.&nbsp;As long as blockchain is integrated into online gaming, developers are able to provide players a transparent, secure and decentralized experience, thereby offering the real ownership of virtual game assets, such as items, skins, and characters, while at the same time fostering a sense of trust among players. Through the steady rise in the status of blockchain, its integration with online gaming is expected to demonstrate greater potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cloud Gaming: Bringing Revolutionary Changes to the Gaming IndustryEven though it’s a rather new concept, but cloud gaming could very well change our future gaming experience. By then, players can play games just by the transferring of data through the internet, completely cutting out the need to download the game onto the hardware.&nbsp;This revolution enables player to experience high-quality games even if one lacks the adequate equipment to do so, which means that players are no longer confined to the hardware limitations of a budget PC or a subpar smart phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the fact that players have lowered their investment thresholds for expensive gaming hardware/equipment, the development of cloud gaming opens up a broader road for the even bigger gaming market.&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence: Promising Technology Waiting to be Refined and Developed&nbsp;With a broad range of applicability, artificial intelligence (AI), which has sprung up in recent years, has gradually been incorporated into some online games. However, after digging further into the new technology, it is not hard to discover that AI still has immense potential, as its technical depth and application breadth are yet to be fully developed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AI not only can elevate the intelligence and the realism of NPCs, it can even assist the game to perform more complex game mechanisms/planning. For example, AI can create stronger opponents with more variety, allowing for unpredictable game environments, thereby giving players a more diverse and more challenging gaming experience.<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/eMxeR9F2.jpg">&nbsp;Breaking the Boundaries of Cross-Platform Games&nbsp;Cross-platform games are games that enable players to play the game together across different platforms, which include: game consoles, personal computers, or mobile devices. Since such technology is nearly perfected, this means that despite players having different equipment, they are no longer bound by its hardware limitations, which in turn allows for the expansion of friend circles and assist in building stronger interpersonal relationships.Under the strong promotion of games such as “Fortnite” and “Minecraft,” the cross-platforming functionality is expected to be applied to even more games in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conclusion&nbsp;Online gaming has always been a fast-developing and ever-changing field of entertainment. In fact, its technological growth and innovation continues to shatter our existing knowledge boundaries. With the emergence of eSports, virtual reality, mobile games, and cloud gaming, the future of this industry is full of stimulating development prospects. Along with the perfection of artificial intelligence, expansion of the social games, and the continued trend of in-game purchases as well as discussions of microtransactions, online games will surely create a new wave of revolutionary innovations. Let’s sit back and enjoy the ride!

New Frontier of Gaminga Entertainment: Exploring the Latest Innovation in Online Gaming

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/P2qVnib0.jpg"> 近年、オンラインカジノ市場が疾風を起こし、急成長しています。では、ライブカジノの運営業者は、どのようにしてこの市場におけるブームを起こしたのでしょうか?この記事では、オンラインカジノ業者が持ついくつかの革新的な技術について考察します。&nbsp;ライブカジノにおける主要なインターネット構造は見逃せない運営されているライブカジノプラットフォームにおいて、まず大切なのはプラットフォームのネットワーク構造とシステム構成について考えることです。そして明らかなのは、サーバーがシステムの基盤として重要な要素であるということです。システムは全てのリアルタイムデータの処理と取引がスムーズに行われるために、十分な処理能力とセキュリティを持っている必要があります。&nbsp;もう一つ重要な要素は、ユーザークライアントのアプリケーションです。ユーザークライアントのアプリケーションは、プレーヤーがスムーズにサーバーに接続し、効果的なインタラクションを確保するために重要な役割を果たします。このアプリケーションは拡張可能であり、需要に応じて大量のプレーヤー情報をスムーズに受信すると同時に、全てのデータの安全性を確保する必要があります。これにより、プレーヤーとサーバーの間で安全かつ信頼できる接続が確立されます。&nbsp;それ以外にも、オンラインカジノプラットフォームのネットワークアーキテクチャには、必要な要素がたくさんあります。例えば、ルーター、ファイアウォール、ロードバランサー、その他のネットワーク機器などです。これらを軽視することはできません。&nbsp;ライブカジノ運営業者が使用している先進的なセキュリティ対策は以下の通りです顧客情報の安全性は、全てのライブカジノプラットフォームの運営業者にとって最も重要な課題の一つです。近年、技術の進歩に伴い、覚円営業者は、顧客情報の安税制を確保するためにさまざまな先進的な対策を採用しています。その中でも有力視されている対策の一つが、安全通信層（SSL）暗号化技術の使用です。&nbsp;プレーヤーのコンピューターからライブカジノプラットフォームのサーバーへ転送されるデータは、SSL暗号化技術によって暗号化されます。このことにより、ハッカーがプレーヤーのクレジットカード番号やパスワードなどの機密情報を傍受することを防ぐことができます。&nbsp;前提として注意しておきたいことは、多くのライブカジノプラットフォームでは、特定のウェブサイトエリアにアクセスする際に、追加で情報認証をすることが必要です。この認証のためには、有効な身分証明書を提供したり、オンラインで即座にシステムから送信されるセキュリティ確認のための質問に回答したりすることを求められます。&nbsp;さらにほとんどのライブカジノプラットフォームでは、複雑な詐欺検知システムが導入されています。常に不審な動きを監視して、異常が検出された場合には警告メッセージを発信し、プラットフォームのスタッフに知らせることができます。 &nbsp;ライブカジノプラットフォームに使用されているさまざまなタイプの人工知能（AI）についての考察&nbsp;人工知能（AI）は、ライブカジノにおいて、プレーヤーのゲーム体験や操作の改善、セキュリティの向上、詐欺行為の予防などの目的で頻繁に利用されています。機械学習アルゴリズムを‘使用して、ゲームプレイの決定を行い、過去のゲームデータから将来の結果を予測し、個別のプレーヤーに合わせた個別のプロモーションや特典を提供することもできます。また、事前言語処理を通じて、プレーヤーの発言をリアルタイムで理解し、適切な応答を行うことも可能です。結局のところ、より没入感がありながら安全な環境をプレーヤーに提供するために、人工知能がライブカジノ業界の運営方法を変えつつあります。

ライブカジノプラットフォームの業者の背後にある最先端技術

&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/4yOMn6iv.jpg"> 他の国々と比べて、日本のギャンブル法は比較的厳格であり、オンラインカジノを含めたギャンブルのほとんどが禁止されています。ギャンブルに参加した者に最高50万円の罰金が科せられるだけでなく、利益を得たギャンブル事業者および運営部門が5ヶ月以上の懲役に処せられる可能性があります。&nbsp;&nbsp;過去10年間、ギャンブルに関連する団体は、時代遅れの法律の改正に多大な努力を払ってきました。例えば2018年日本政府は国内のホテル、ショッピングモール、その他の娯楽施設内に、大規模なカジノリゾートを設立することを許可する法律を可決しました。&nbsp;新しい規制を取り入れることによって政府は、観光産業を活性化し、日本の経済成長を刺激することを望んでいます。政府は現在建設の初期段階にあるこのような施設に対して、最多でも3つのライセンス発行を発行する計画であり、多くの国際的なカジノ運営者が投資に関心を示しています。 開発上の障害&nbsp;カジノリゾートを設立する上で、日本では多くの障害があります。たとえば、地元住民や国会議員は、社会や経済への波及効果のメリットとデメリットを勘案して比較的保守的な立場をとっています。そして、これらの意見が野心的なギャンブル投資プロジェクトの推進に影響を与えています。&nbsp;パチンコは昔から日本人に親しまれてきましたが、パチンコはギャンブルとは見做されません。しかし、金銭や景品の交換が行われることからギャンブル依存症の問題が浮上しており、パチンコ店に対しての監督強化の必要性が浮き彫りになっています。&nbsp;全体的にみると日本のカジノ業界はまだ流動的です。今後のギャンブル業界の成長と発展に影響を与える多くの要因があります。&nbsp;日本におけるオンラインギャンブル産業の成長&nbsp;しかしながら、これらの制限にもかかわらず、日本におけるオンラインカジノとゲーム業界は著しく成長を遂げています。たとえば、2020年の登録プレーヤー数は、2019年の年末時点のものの3倍にもなっています。事業者が創出する収益も同様の急成長傾向にあります。&nbsp;&nbsp;この成功の要因の一つは、特定のインセンティブや引き出しや支払い方法の増加など、ボーナスやさまざまなプロモーションのオファーにあります。近年では、日本のプレイヤーに向けのオンラインカジノ取引に関する良質の情報を提供することに特化したウェブサイトがいくつか見られるようになっています。&nbsp;&nbsp;このような業界の成長は、より親和性が高い法規改正と、2019 年に制定された新しいカジノ法にも起因しています。この法律は事業者がビジネスを行う方法を明確に規定しています。&nbsp;&nbsp;オンラインカジノ産業が日本だけでなく、オーストラリア、カナダ、英国などの国々でも近年大幅に成長していることは注目に値します。またこれらの市場と比較すると、日本市場の成長率は遥かに速いと言えます。&nbsp;&nbsp;現時点の日本において、オンラインカジノ業界は違法ですが、その発展にはいくつかの興味深い特徴があります。&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. 潜在的な経済的利益: ギャンブルが日本経済にどのような影響を与えるかを考えてみましょう。政府はオンラインカジノの合法化を慎重に検討しながら、税収や雇用機会の増加について考えを巡らせています。オンラインギャンブルの将来について考えると、賭博に関する各種の社会問題に直面します。しかし日本政府にとって、オンラインギャンブルがもたらす経済成長は魅了的です。潜在的なリスクを恐れて諦めるのか、それとも、市場経済の促進を選ぶのか、答えはまだ分かりません。&nbsp;2. 技術の進歩：日本のオンラインカジノ業界が、モバイルゲームやライブ技術を通じて、どのような未来を作り出すことができるのか、世界の関連業界からの期待が集まっています。技術の進歩により、参入のハードルが低下したため、ギャンブルに対しての需要が急増しています。私たちは、このエキサイティングな時代の革命的な業界の成長に直面し、勢いを増す日本のオンラインゲーム市場を期待を持って眺めています。&nbsp; 3.&nbsp;e スポーツの人気: 日本の e スポーツ市場が発展するにつれ、オンラインギャンブルの成長を間接的にリードする可能性があります。急激に成長しているこの業界は、仮想ゲームと物理ゲームを融合させ、ギャンブル業界をユニークで没入型のオンラインカジノイベントへと発展させることが期待されています。&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;日本のオンラインギャンブル業界の市場規模&nbsp;オンラインギャンブルは、日本では神秘的な業界です。現状では厳格に言うと違法なので、市場規模に関する公式の数値が報告されていません。しかしこのことは、業界が日本で大きな発展と繁栄の可能性を持っているという事実を否定することはできません。事実、世界のオンラインギャンブル市場は2020年、667 億ドルに達し、アジア市場の成長が最前線でした。&nbsp;&nbsp;日本はオンラインギャンブルの世界的リーダーになる可能性があります。また、日本政府はまもなくギャンブル関連産業の合法化を推進する可能性があります。日本の平均可処分所得のレベルと、世界でも絶大な人気を持つ観光地としての地位を考慮すると、日本政府がギャンブル産業によるプラスとマイナスの影響を効果的に制御できれば、サービス業であるギャンブルに対する需要が、日本で増加する可能性があります。&nbsp;さらに、日本は常に技術の進歩に相当な資源を投資する国です。最先端のプラットフォームを備えたオンラインカジノ運営者にとって、次のホットスポットになる可能性があります。ただし、日本においてのギャンブルの合法化は、非常に時間を要する困難な長期戦となる可能性があり、注意が必要です。&nbsp;&nbsp;日本のオンラインカジノ業界はさまざまな不確実性に満ちていますが、適切に規制され合法化が進めば、世界市場で無視できない重要な勢力になる可能性があります。急激に成長する可能性があるため、合法化が期待される中、日本が優先的な開発国になることを待ちわびる人は少なくありません。

日本におけるオンラインギャンブル産業の発展

最近発表されたTechnavioのアナリストの報告によると、オンラインギャンブルの市場価値が、2027年までに年間3,055億ドルに達する可能性があります。&nbsp;同報告によると、2017年のオンラインギャンブルの市場価値は1,555億1000&nbsp;万ドルと推定されますが、2027年までに11.03%の複利年率&nbsp;(CAGR)で1,505億ドル増加し、3,055億ドルに達する可能性があるのです。 <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">アナリストの報告は以下のとおり：
</pre>モバイルデバイスを使用してのゲームに対する需要の高まりが、ゲーム市場の成長を大幅に促進しています。スマートフォンの平均販売価格&nbsp;(ASP)&nbsp;の低下に伴い、スマートフォンの普及率は徐々に高まりを見せています。スマートフォンはゲームをプレイしているプレーヤーに、より便利で直感的なインターフェースを提供します。ですからプレーヤーは、物理的なマシンゲームから、携帯電話のインターフェースへと徐々に移行しているのです。&nbsp;また同報告によると、支払い方法がより便利になっていることからスマートフォンを使用する人口が増加しており、それがモバイルゲームアプリの人気をますます押し上げています。.さらに、今後数年間でスマートフォンを使用したモバイルゲームが、業界の主要市場になることも予想されています。 <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">セキュリティへの挑戦
</pre>アナリストはまた、業界全体が「高度なデータセキュリティへの懸念」や「オンラインゲームプラットフォームのセキュリティと信頼性の問題」などをはじめとして、いくつかの大きな課題に直面していることを指摘しています。&nbsp;&nbsp;近年オンラインギャンブルサイトは、ハッカーや詐欺の標的となっています。彼らは銀行取引情報やクレジットカード番号などのプレーヤーの個人情報を、ゲームのWebサイトから盗み出します。これらの個人情報がハッカーや詐欺師のターゲットなのです。海外で運営されているオンラインカジノが最新のネットワークセキュリティ技術を採用していない場合、ハッキングされる可能性が大幅に高まります。このことは情報のセキュリティ問題と同様に、近い将来、グローバル市場の成長を妨げる大きな障害となることが予想されます。さらに報告書によると、「公正で責任あるゲーミングメカニズムの欠如」が、市場の発展を妨げる可能性も指摘されています。&nbsp; <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">市場の成長を引っ張るアジア太平洋地域
</pre>Technavioの報告によると、アジア太平洋地域&nbsp;(APAC)が今後4年間、市場の成長の主な原動力になるかもしれません。日本、韓国、インド、オーストラリア、ニュージーランドなどの市場を含むこの地域の予測成長率は、すべてのオンラインゲーム市場の成長率の39%を占める可能性があります。&nbsp;次に期待される地域は北米です。北米での市場開発は基本的に、米国のスポーツ賭博の合法化と、カナダと米国で将来的に発展するであろうiGaming市場を見込んだものです。

オンラインギャンブルの市場価値が2027年までに3,055 億ドルに到達

不同于欧美国家的欣欣向荣，本季亚洲市场可说是今年以来最动荡的时期。主因多聚焦在中国对非法金融活动的决心与政策，不仅直接断了中国玩家多元的金流管道，连带间接改变澳门行业的样貌。
而菲国对在线博彩的征税，市场看法相当两极，一方面认为菲国将更加依赖在线博彩，未来将给予更多的支持；另一方却又认为，博彩不再能帮助菲国解决国内的经济危机，而且是非法招聘和绑架活动的罪魁祸首。这季菲国这个亚洲在线博彩大本营的纷扰，可以说好戏才正要开始。以下整理本季大事件，并提出我们的对未来的观点。


亚洲大动荡不同于欧美国家的欣欣向荣，本季亚洲市场可说是今年以来最动荡的时期。主因多聚焦在中国对非法金融活动的决心与政策，不仅直接断了中国玩家多元的金流管道，连带间接改变澳门行业的样貌。而菲国对在线博彩的征税，市场看法相当两极，一方面认为菲国将更加依赖在线博彩，未来将给予更多的支持；另一方却又认为，博彩不再能帮助菲国解决国内的经济危机，而且是非法招聘和绑架活动的罪魁祸首。这季菲国这个亚洲在线博彩大本营的纷扰，可以说好戏才正要开始。以下整理本季大事件，并提出我们的对未来的观点 : <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/COhixjJv.jpg">新趋势的阻碍 - 中国封杀加密货币在5月间宣布打击比特币的挖矿及交易行为之后，中国人民银行 9 月 24 日宣布，中国对加密货币关上大门，「所有虚拟货币相关交易，都属非法金融活动」，违法者将追究刑事责任。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/VTiqNAFP.jpg">陆上赌场的改变 - 澳门回不去了?!由于澳门6家赌场牌照将在明（2022）年6月到期，澳门政府对业界展开45天「公开咨询」，强调日后将引入政府代表，推动非博彩元素的项目，因为近来中国对各产业监管加剧，外界忧心当局为了打击因博彩衍生之非法金融活动，殃及澳门博彩经济。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/MFn1EUTl.jpg">疫情持续的影响 - 2020年韩国陆上赌场税收下降82%由于Covid-19的影响，韩国陆上赌场在2020 - 2021年面临限制和临时关闭，因为该国年初开始感受到大流行的影响，全年韩国赌场市场的赌博现金营业额比上年同期下降64.5%，访问人数同比下降71.3%。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/iCQm3CrX.jpg">新的政策 - 对在线博彩公司征税以帮助菲律宾医疗保健9月菲总统杜特尔特（Rodrigo Duterte）签署新的网络博彩税法，向POGO公司按照博彩总收入，收取 5% 的博彩税，收入为60万披索（11,900 美元）或以上的 POGO 员工需要交纳 25% 的预扣税。根据新法案，从在线博彩公司收取的总收入的 60% 将用于实施《全民医疗保健法案》。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/OMel5rjz.jpg">持续成长的亚洲市场 - 越南本季公布越南近五年调查报告中显示，博彩产业收入总平均值高达30亿美元，2020 年在线博彩产业用户在线时间也增加超过了 50% 以上，在线博彩参与率也上涨超过20 %以上，在线博彩类游戏用户支出增长率高达 575%，由此可见越南在线博彩市场仍在大幅度增长当中。 CQ9 观点近几个月亚洲博彩的动荡，确实让行业较为不乐观，对于 2021 年第四季，我们采取更为保守的态度，持续稳健经营东亚地区仍是我们首要的任务。不过我们也认为整体产业大规模的转变，目前只是过渡期，各国政府的明确政策与执行方针，是给行业解决问题参考的依据。 近年区块链、非同质化代币 (NFT) 多元应用的崛起，已经完全颠覆现在人对所谓钱 、价值、价格的概念。虚拟货币只是这些应用冰山的一角，哪怕未来不再有所谓的 “虚拟货币”，相信将有更多取代 “交易”本质的加密产品出现，而这些都正在发生。虽然各种炒作、过度乐观与不切实际的理想，但与2000年网络大泡沫不同的是，各国政府都正在积极发展中心化的区块链应用，显示对此技术的认可与妥协。现今各国对博彩行业的保守和不妥协的态度，无疑是加速行业在这个趋势领域的更新迭代，而你我必须预先做好准备，迎接新时代的来临。

CQ9 2021 第三季市场观点

数字货币面临全球监管&nbsp;恐从云端跌落神坛 全球博奕市场总是瞬息万变，在受到疫情的冲击影响下，全球各地市场也发生了不少的巨变。&nbsp;本篇CQ9将整理2021上半年以来，有哪些值得注意的市场焦点。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/HEzPl3n6.jpg">&nbsp;把时间拉回2020年，数字货币及区块链技术开始被广泛的应用，为博弈产业注入全新的风貌。不论在线娱乐场、支付系统、大数据AI智能应用，甚至在游戏开发上皆百花齐开。当情况处于一片好景下，市场上迎来了重大的挑战，对不少业者造成了直接或间接的冲击。今年四月，美国数字货币交易所Kraken执行长鲍尔（Jesse Powell）警告，「世界各国政府，对比特币等数字货币的打压可能即将到来。」 对中国市场来说，在金流与支付系统纷纷受到政策紧缩，原本提供玩家以数字货币提取或游玩的运营商，深受严重影响。亚洲其他各国如泰国、印度尼西亚、土耳其、伊朗、巴勒斯坦、韩国也加入了对数字货币的严格监管。但上有政策，下有对策，我们也期待市场上有具体的应对方案出现。&nbsp;CQ9深知数字货币普及，将为玩家带来更多便利的好处，早已提前布局开发，不久后将为合作伙伴提供相关的服务。不论市场如何变化，我们总是走在市场的前端。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/M4gblE3V.jpg"> &nbsp;&nbsp;游戏向区块链靠拢!&nbsp;「PLAY TO EARN」模式崛起! 当游戏开始与区块链技术链接，传统的「FREE TO PLAY」模式演变至「PLAY TO EARN」，一种全新的商业模式就此诞生。传统意义上，厂商推出免费游戏，若要更好的游戏体验或互动，则需透过不断的充值。而「P2E」游戏的商业模式，则是透过区块链将传统模式升级。玩家游玩以数字货币为基础资产（NFTs）的游戏赚取真金白银，积极参与这些虚拟经济，玩家可以赚取游戏中的资产和代币的奖励，进而在公开市场上交易或出售。未来全球将从免费转变为「PLAY TO EARN」的游戏市场，呈现游戏金融化的趋势。&nbsp;其次是博奕游戏技术上的应用，许多游戏平台上早已出现支持区块链的游戏。在区块链技术的加持下，游戏已能支持加密的验证。例如视讯棋牌、百家乐等游戏采用加密与第三方验证技术，解决以往为人诟病的开牌公平性及公信力问题。部分內容引述https://www.chainnews.com/zh-hant/articles/646551400701.htm<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/frrnMLWv.png"> &nbsp;&nbsp;顺势而行，持续布局东南亚 近两年各大厂商因中国市场竞争激烈，同时还要面对政府的压力，纷纷将目标锁定在东南亚、印度等新兴市场。可以发现，在市场已有许多为了迎合东南亚市场所开发的产品，提供更多玩家有不同的选择性。&nbsp;CQ9早些年已布署东南亚市场，推出了许多泰国、越南玩家喜好的游戏&nbsp;;&nbsp;如越南民间最受欢迎的「色碟」、最接地气的「泰式骰宝」、泰国百家乐「博丁」及爆款跑酷游戏「跑跑艾丽斯」等。&nbsp;此外，关注印度俨然成为亚洲博彩市场的另一个焦点。特别是占有一席之地的「梦幻体育」。据Maple Capital报告指出，在印度有超过7.45亿用户在玩在线真钱游戏，梦幻体育占整个市场约30%，显示是朝着正确方向前进。虽然梦幻体育很早就尝试进入亚洲市场，不过受限于法规或市场规模等原因，处在无法发展的尴尬局面，对此，我们也相当乐观，相信市场能找到解套方式，持续为亚洲在线娱乐增加丰富的多样性。 全球真人视讯市场大者恒大&nbsp;推出多样化产品吸引玩家目光&nbsp; 全球最大真人视讯供货商Evolution收购老虎机大厂NetEnt后，整合双方的优势及特点，推出全新真人视讯结合老虎机的全新概念游戏。NetEnt最受欢迎的在线老虎机游戏Gonzo's Quest其中著名的角色冈佐(Gonzo)结合了Evolution的独家视讯技术，成功的进行虚实整合，玩家可透过视讯结合虚拟现实进行老虎机的视讯游戏，在市场上引起不少话题。 「Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt」&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/imZSX1dg.jpg"> 总结来说，区块链技术的去中心化特性，让在线博彩有了新的变革，随者各国政策的改变，利用数字货币绕过政府管制措施，仍是一项可期待的解套方式。亚洲版块的挪移让新兴市场有更多的机会，也催生更多与以往不同的在线博彩游戏。我们也将持续关注真人视讯、虚实整合等技术发展，进一步了解与拟定未来的趋势，持续为我们的合作伙伴提供优质的趋势产品。

卡巴迪（Kabaddi）是少数能在亚洲经得起时间考验的运动项目，尤其是在发源地「印度」。即使在今日，受欢迎程度仍在继续增长，主要原因是卡巴迪职业联赛（Pro Kabaddi League 以下简称PKL）的兴起，在玩家与体育迷之间，对卡巴迪的在线投注已变得非常流行与火爆。 <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/FDUiNbw5.jpg">你玩过老鹰抓小鸡的游戏吗?国家地理频道节目称这个运动为「印度古老运动」，你可以想象成较激烈的 ”老鹰抓小鸡” 游戏。这项运动并不容易，需要有很好的敏捷力、瞬间爆发力，能承受如同橄榄球的冲撞和下盘肌耐力，也需像自由搏击「摔扑擒抱」等高级运动技巧。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/H0zJfbxQ.jpg">卡巴迪源自四千年前的印度北部，原来只盛行于旁遮普邦 (Punjab) 一带，后来逐步传播到今日印度全境，以及巴基斯坦、孟加拉国国、斯里兰卡、缅甸和伊朗等国家。由于卡巴迪玩法简单，无须任何成本和道具，在贫穷的南亚农村大受欢迎。&nbsp;<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/XF3A6G3c.jpg">没有PKL 没有今天的卡巴迪卡巴迪职业联赛（PKL），是印度的专业级卡巴迪职业化赛事，于2014年推出，并在印度的Star Sports广播推广。联赛开始之初，许多人对这个体育联赛充满了质疑，因为它看起来似乎不像正规的体育活动。然而，PKL第一个赛季结束时统计，有4.35亿的观众收看了整个赛事，并且高达8,640万名观众一直盯着赛事最后的决赛。至此以后，人们对卡巴迪职业联赛（PKL）的成功不再有任何的怀疑。 卡巴迪职业联赛（PKL）的共同拥有者Marshal Sports近期发布了招标书（ITT），拍卖该联盟下，五个版本的媒体版权。其中包含如虚拟化、游戏化及移动化等相关权利，除与体育迷增加进一步的互动，也增加了卡巴迪在博彩市场持续成长的可能。

据9to5Google媒体消息指出，Google Play 宣布更新一项新的政策，未来将允许更多国家的用户，透过Android移动平台，使用博彩的应用程序。&nbsp;从2021年3月1日起，开发者可以在纽约，比利时，加拿大，哥伦比亚，丹麦，丹麦，芬兰，德国，日本，墨西哥，新西兰，挪威，克罗地亚，西班牙，瑞典和美国 15 个国家，研发和发布博彩和博奕的应用程序。政策一旦生效，玩家将能够在上述国家使用在线赌场娱乐城、彩票、体育博彩和梦幻体育等博弈项目。可惜的是，目前亚洲国家中，仅有日本在这次的开放名单内。&nbsp;不过开放有限制，且每个国家或地区会有自己的相关法规，对在线博彩的定义都不尽相同，有些采开放态度，有些则限更加严格。例如最大的游戏市场之一印度，就没有在本次开放的行列，原因就是印度对于博弈游戏的审查相当严格，因此多个州都禁止使用这些博奕应用程序。&nbsp;此外，Google也表示上架的博彩程序，必须被分类为「成人级别」，同时在接口中添加相关通知讯息，确保能有效阻止未成年人使用。用户也须明确了解需为博弈的行为，承担相关风险、责任及损失。 考虑到和博奕的“敏感性”与”争议性”，开发者必须在符合规范的条件下， 才能发布在Google play 上 :程序必须遵守所在国或地区的法规必须持有所在国的有效收费许可证仅限成人”和“禁止未成年用户使用”必须阻止其他国家的玩家使用必须是免费下载&nbsp;Google也特别提出严正的警告，任何“试图绕过认证程序“或未符合上述规范的应用程序，都会导致被官方完全删除。据9to5Google媒体消息指出，Google Play 宣布更新一项新的政策，未来将允许更多国家的用户，透过Android移动平台，使用博彩的应用程序。 从2021年3月1日起，开发者可以在纽约，比利时，加拿大，哥伦比亚，丹麦，丹麦，芬兰，德国，日本，墨西哥，新西兰，挪威，克罗地亚，西班牙，瑞典和美国 15 个国家，研发和发布博彩和博奕的应用程序。政策一旦生效，玩家将能够在上述国家使用在线赌场娱乐城、彩票、体育博彩和梦幻体育等博弈项目。可惜的是，目前亚洲国家中，仅有日本在这次的开放名单内。 不过开放有限制，且每个国家或地区会有自己的相关法规，对在线博彩的定义都不尽相同，有些采开放态度，有些则限更加严格。例如最大的游戏市场之一印度，就没有在本次开放的行列，原因就是印度对于博弈游戏的审查相当严格，因此多个州都禁止使用这些博奕应用程序。 此外，Google也表示上架的博彩程序，必须被分类为「成人级别」，同时在接口中添加相关通知讯息，确保能有效阻止未成年人使用。用户也须明确了解需为博弈的行为，承担相关风险、责任及损失。考虑到和博奕的“敏感性”与”争议性”，开发者必须在符合规范的条件下， 才能发布在Google play 上 :1. 程序必须遵守所在国或地区的法规2. 必须持有所在国的有效收费许可证3. 仅限成人”和“禁止未成年用户使用”4. 必须阻止其他国家的玩家使用5. 必须是免费下载 Google也特别提出严正的警告，任何“试图绕过认证程序“或未符合上述规范的应用程序，都会导致被官方完全删除。

India Tech发布一份印度在线梦幻体育市场的增值报告，目前印度的在线梦幻体育玩家数量，在过去4年间达到高达4400％。 蓬勃发展从2016-2020年间，在线梦幻体育玩家从200万爆增到惊人的10亿。这也该该产业的营收从92亿印度卢比增长到240亿印度卢比，收入达到达到160％。出现爆发性增长。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/qFwp3zny.jpg">什么是梦幻体育游戏？梦幻体育是一种数字娱乐平台，玩家利用真实运动员的数据，创造属于自己的梦幻队伍，来与其他玩家进行比赛。赢家可以赢得比赛虚拟奖池的派奖奖励。玩家可以参与受欢迎的体育项目，包含：板球，足球，卡巴迪（一项印度传统体育项目）等。 一家独大的印度梦幻体育市场印度已有多个梦幻体育平台，包括Dream11，Mobile Premier League（MPL），MyTeam11，HalaPlay，11Wickets和My11Circle等。不过，Dream11占据90％的垄断市场，这家公司也是印度首个游戏的独角巨人兽。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/7B9oQnNo.png"> 在印度合法性此外报告也提到，过去许多法院的判决都将梦幻体育认定为“技巧型”游戏，因此不受反诉讼法规的约束。但依然有大量司法挑战在牵制着该产业的发展。例如拉米最高法院在2015年宣布rummy与梦幻体育游戏一样都是技巧游戏，不过甚至如此，特兰加纳等一些州还是禁止了这一游戏，给相关企业与平台造成了不小的影响。 梦幻体育，是印度地区游戏公司与开发者最关注的市场之一，不同其他博彩类游戏，梦幻体育更没有道德舆论的压力与矛盾。这一领域的游戏公司与开发者数量也急速猛长。倘若未来印度政府在法规政策上，没有过多的限制，我们可预想行业将在印度繁荣的发展。 參考出處 :&nbsp;<a href="https://www.indiatech.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/IndiaTech.org-Whitepaper-OnlineFantasySports-compressed.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">indiatech</a>

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/TEWijNz6.png"> 原定2020年10月将举行两天的首届乌克兰博弈展览 (Ukrainian Gaming Week／UGW)，因疫情尚未好转关系，推迟到2021年2月才举行，这也是乌克兰博彩产业合法化后，第一个重要的展览活动。 虽然疫苗陆续的出现，但全球的疫情并没有想象中的乐观，特别是东欧疫情加剧，乌克兰、俄罗斯单日确诊双双再创新高。以12月27日单日统计，乌克兰确诊人数竟高达1万5千多人，乌克兰累计染疫人数攀升到69万3407人。为确保所有参与活动的人员都能安全，避免在公开场合暴露于染疫风险中，主办单位将原定的计划期程进行第二次的调整，这也让主办方有更多充裕的时间，来为展览的环境，制定完善的防疫质量与措施。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/vPSjmvlP.png">自2009年以来，乌克兰除彩票外，禁止任何的的博彩项目。但是，乌克兰总统泽连斯已废除该法律。不过，在乌克兰营运固定费用并不便宜，在线博彩许可证的费用为3000万UAH(约110万美元)，且每五年需要申请续约，这还不包括对在线博彩总收入征收10%的税。乌克兰总理奥列克西·洪查鲁克，在提交政府预算草案时预测，合法的博彩市场将为该国增加30亿UAH(约1.106亿美元)的财政预算，能极大的提高政府收入。

英国竞争与市场管理局（CMA）于 9月22日，对Evolution Gaming计划收购NetEnt进行调查，当局担心，这笔交易可能导致在线博弈市场的竞争水平大幅失衡。 今年6月，主打真人视讯的供货商Evolution Gaming 宣布以22亿美元价格，收购同业竞争者 NetEnt，将透过这个合并收购计划，企图成为在线博弈游戏的全球领导者。原定计划将在11月2日之前，完成所有收购的计划内容，但是由于CMA开始介入调查，情况将不再如此。 由于 COVID-19 大流行期间，世界各地的实体赌场大部分都已关闭，大多数主要体育赛事，都被推迟或取消，因此许多玩家开始转向在线赌场游戏。NetEnt 2020年第一、二季总收入，较比去年同期增长30.2%，而Evolution Gaming单第二季度的总收入，比去年同期爆增 50％ (约1.507亿美元）。 合并后的游戏产品，将包括真人娱乐场和在线老虎机游戏，并通过交叉销售和通过两家公司的客户群，改善营销而产生收入增长，从而使客户伙伴关系更加紧密，也使市场的地理分布更加广泛，合资公司将通过国际收购和其它收购实现国际增长。

CMA 对Evolution Gaming计划收购NetEnt进行调查

疫情期间在线赌场的表现如何？新冠病毒期间，几乎改变了我们的日常生活。随着各个娱乐与竞赛比赛取消，世界各地的玩家一直在寻找新的方式，来满足他们的乐趣和爱好。&nbsp;短期体育赛事取消和减少的投注机会，不表示者一定是行业的长期问题。由于为减少病毒传播的努力使实体赌场关闭，各国各地的收入皆有所下降，体育博彩也略有下降，但其他在线赌博网站的收入，却出现了整体增长。&nbsp;营运网站立即抓住了这个机会，向他们的用户提供特殊的促销和优惠，确实吸引了无数玩家。如今在线娱乐平台，提供的体验与真人娱乐场非常相似，这在大流行期间，确实能明显感受的到。&nbsp;目前为止，亚洲在线赌博弈行业已经看到显著的增长，网站会员不断增加，及更多实体玩家逐渐转移在线。当然，一旦大流行结束，情况可能有所修正，但在线玩家人数，可能仍将保持很高的水平。&nbsp;在线娱乐场不仅提供更多的功能性，而且还提供更高的支付率。拥有如此优越的条件，加上提供的特殊奖金，在线游戏娱乐就有足够的增长理由。

新冠流行期间 在线博弈蓬勃发展

许多玩家会发现，电子竞技在短短数年间窜起，甚至讨论2020年是否有机会加入东京奥运。虽然有人认为电子竞技跟运动似乎没有关联，不过近年电子竞技加入体育竞猜项目已经成为趋势，其中几款在新冠肺炎全球体育赛事停摆期间，成为竞猜玩家的新宠。 许多博彩网站报告指出，电竞竞猜的赌注大量增加。相关研究机构针对1000多名运动竞猜的玩家进行调查，当中有36%的玩家，开始投注电竞竞猜项目，且有30%的人近几个月才开始投注这项目。 就像远程医疗，在这种大流行期间正在发挥作用一样，这也可能代表着电子竞技行业的商机。尽管社交疏离准则破坏电子竞技直播活动，但比赛仍可以轻松过渡到在线直播上。现在，渴望观看比赛的玩家或观众，可以从自己的家中安全地使用他们的电子设备与平台，除了观看比赛最新状况外，还参与了比赛的投注游戏。 现在，电子竞技变得越来越诱人，尤其随着亚洲地区开始重新开放。尽管第二波疫情不可避免，但许多有电子竞技的竞猜平台，将调整每个地区的投注时间表以符合玩家习惯。整体来说，这是电子竞技开始蓬勃的时机，市场也开始合理化过去五年来，对电子竞技项目的吹嘘与炒作。

电子竞技的崛起!

金沙集团舍弃实体赌场金鸡母！开始投入数字博弈市场 !

印度人口现为13.5亿，预计2023年将超过长期实施一胎化政策的中国。其中消费市场的主力中产阶级，也随之持续扩张，也因此备受博彩市场关注 。 印度已是南亚最大规模的经济体，国内需求持续增加带动市场看好许多领域的成长潜力。同时印度也是全世界拥有最多博彩游戏的国家之一，手机游戏火热程度更是屡创新高。印度由于行政权分散，各邦对博彩采取的态度虽然不同，但以整体来看，都是朝向博彩合法化的目标前进。 <a href="https://www.cq9gaming.com/news-in.php?id=31" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">我们先前就整理过</a>，市场是如何期待印度，成为下一个最大的博彩市场。智能手机的迅速普及，中产阶级规模的扩张，每个地区的互联网建置日趋完善，加上梦幻体育游戏异军崛起，及如IPL、ISL、PKL等体育联赛大受民众追捧，极大地推升印度的移动在线博彩市场发展。 尽管当局表示目前体育博彩仍属非法，许多印度体育迷也怀疑在线博彩是否合法。但印度并没有任何一条法律，将 ”在线博彩” 真正定义为非法活动。事实是，这些博彩网站都设置于海外，他们并不受印度当地政府管辖，所以可以提供印度人民合法的体育投注管道。 因此，在过去几年中，合法的印度在线博彩已成为一种事实。尽管像《 2000年信息技术法》（Information Technology Act 2000）这样的法律禁止使用任何网络技术来进行博奕活动，但立法者似乎很大程度上，刻意忽略人民访问或使用境外博彩等相关博弈网站。

想不到吧 ! 印度博彩监管大门将逐渐打开 !

自从Google play宣布包含日本在内等19个国家，可以使用真钱博弈应用软件后，日本显然早已蓄势待发进入爆炸增长的时代。<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/K42NBFat.jpg">Google play这次的开放权限包含了四个主要博弈类别 : 在线娱乐城、体育博彩、彩票及幻想体育。早已在日本盛行许久的赛马、赛艇和自行车体育博彩，也全面的托管至相关的应用软件上。 新冠病毒大流行早已加速了这种转变，原因很简单，运动赛事现场现在一个观众也没有。这些盛行已久的体育博彩项目，反而在没有观众的大流行期间，营业总额不仅没有下降，反而逆势上升。 所以在移动装置上合法的使用博弈软件，只有继续增长的趋势。 日本有许多非法营运的在线博弈网站，不过政府似乎不再积极杜绝这样的现象，甚至到了视而不见的地步。其中一个原因是日本法律主要集中在实体赌场上，所以无法有效限制像Google play上这样的博弈应用软件。理所当然，这也直接导致整个日本，合法与非法的在线博弈活动越来越活跃。 <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/wRtni9Ob.png"> 日本是个快速发展的年轻市场，许多传统的博弈游戏，透过日本动漫与故事或其他元素的包装，早已攻占亚洲许多国家手游博弈类的榜首。虽然日本当地在线博弈还是起步阶段，但总体而言，移动化与年轻化的博奕游戏，只会加速日本市场的快速普及。

日本开赌啦！在线赌场悄然爆发！

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/60Iv0aS0.jpg">菲律宾游戏监管机构 ( PAGCOR )，允许综合度假村赌场提供在线博弈，以弥补部分COVID-19大流行造成的数十亿美元的收入损失。据路透社报导，菲律宾是该地区第一个引入此举的国家，吸引当地菲律宾人及外国玩家下注。 菲律宾游戏监管机构 ( PAGCOR ) 董事长 Chairman Andrea Domingo表示，专门针对菲律宾豪客的在线赌博，可能最早于本月 (2020年12月) 开始。Bloomberry Resorts Corp BLOOM.PS，和首都北部的另一家娱乐运营商，早些时候已获得监管机构批准，可以进行在线投注。位于首都马尼拉的Okada，和香港Melco Resorts &amp; Entertainment等综合度假胜地赌场，也已申请提供在线赌博的牌照。在线游戏顾问Mark Gilbert说，菲律宾贵宾约占赌场收入的10％至15％。 博彩业监管机构数据显示，与2019年同期相比，1月至9月菲律宾博彩业的总收入下降了60％ 约730亿比绍（15亿美元）。政府一直在逐步开放赌场。并且允许首都的赌场在9月以30％的产能重新开放。该游戏监管机构 ( PAGCOR ) 直接位于总统 Rodrigo Duterte办公室之下，正等待准备获准开放的在线斗鸡博弈娱乐。

菲律宾赌场度假村将为豪客提供在线游戏

随着新冠肺炎疫情在2020年的肆虐，并完全打乱持续成长的博弈市场，掌管菲律宾博彩行业的娱乐博彩公司PAGCOR，试图找出在情况变得更糟前的救命方法，但结果都不甚理想。 根据PAGCOR 2020第一季综合收益表，季度盈利为7.774亿披索(1530万美元)，较2019年同期跌幅达49.9%。由于3月15日的疫情大流行，该国的赌场被迫关闭，3月18日之后，菲律宾的博彩业许可证持有人菲律宾离岸博彩运营商（POGO）也被迫关闭。 除此之外，PAGCOR还必须缴纳博彩税和其它捐款共1.967亿美元，其中1.748亿美元交给了美国财政部。 因此，PAGCOR为了降低损伤，下调了整体支出28.4%(约为2.3亿美元)，很大一部分是减少社会责任计划的支出，若不是本次新冠肺炎影响，以往PAGCOR 有很大一部分的营收都用在社会公益上的捐赠。 就目前情况而言，菲律宾全国累计已有超过10万人确诊，逾2000人死亡，是东南亚国家中第二多确诊的国家，仅次于逾11万人染病的印度尼西亚。菲律宾的新冠病毒数量并没有减少的迹象，预估2020年下半年可能没有变好机会。 <a href="https://zh.asgam.com/index.php/2020/04/29/pagcor-sees-1q20-profits-fall-50-as-covid-19-impact-starts-to-bite-zh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">数据参考出处</a>

PAGCOR- 2020年将没有希望?

泰国的赌博研究中心，和社会业务发展中心报告指出，5 7 ％的人口约30.4万人，在过去一年中参与了博弈娱乐活动。自2017年以来，这一数字增加了140万。此外，调查还显示，其中有70万名玩家是今年首次参与博弈活动。&nbsp;尽管如此，在线赌场在泰国人中，并不像其他博弈项目那样受欢迎。赌博研究中心的调查显示，只有1.6％是通过互联网进行参与。该研究报告指出，玩家在网上总共下注了约202亿泰铢（6.7亿美元）。&nbsp;在线赌场奖金吸引泰国玩家最近的一项研究显示，泰国博弈合法化，可从额外税收中，产生超过28亿美元的收入。但可想而知，将来泰国博弈可能没有合法的机会。 尽管泰国当局已将大多数形式的赌博取缔，但很少有人，因访问在线赌场而受到起诉。&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;尽管有越来越多的要求改变的呼吁，但该法律似乎不太可能很快被修改。要严格的立法规定并不容易，许多泰国人仍然喜欢定期参与博弈娱乐活动。政府相关单位的不妥协立场，极不可能消除或减少，人民对博弈娱乐的热爱。

蓬勃发展的娱乐市场 - 泰国

根据Maple Capital Advisors的数据，目前印度的游戏市场价值超过9.3亿美元。专家预测，随着行业的发展，该市场将以每年41％的速度增长。他们预计到2020年底，游戏市场的价值将超过11亿美元。他们还估计该国将有大约6.3亿在线游戏玩家。 在线赌博法规在1990年代中期，印度的赛马是合法的博彩活动，因为它涉及技巧元素，而不是纯粹机率。锡金州政府要求，本地许可的赌博经营者，每月缴纳赌博总收入的1％做为税收，且在线赌博许可证有效期为一年，必须每年更新一次。 印度玩家没有因网上赌博而被起诉尽管印度缺乏全国性的法规，但该国的玩家还是喜欢在线玩游戏，并且通常通过VPN方式，通往境外赌博网站进行游戏，不过印度当局，并没有起诉任何当地玩家的纪录。这种活动虽然很受欢迎，但其反对者却认为，在线博弈游戏会导致各种问题，例如洗钱，更高的犯罪率和更多的腐败。另一方面，那些拥护赌博合法化的人反击，这可为国家带来巨大的收入，只会帮助而不是损害国家。 尽管印度政府并未积极支持在线博弈，但最近的计划，已使越来越多的人可以更轻松地访问互联网，这些人可以继续在网上玩赌场游戏，并看到他们参加各种电竞赛事，在线博弈产业也从中受益。&nbsp; <a href="https://www.mangalorean.com/is-there-a-future-for-the-online-casino-industry-in-india/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">数据参考出处</a>

市场的下一块大饼 - 印度

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/QiQKcFBF.jpg">在COVID-19疫情与日渐攀升的营运成本下，大批的在线博弈公司，纷纷逃离菲律宾。有部分的从业人员，改在马来西亚、迪拜、乌克兰、帕劳、塞浦路斯等国家另起炉灶。做为菲律宾的理想替代方案，马来西亚和迪拜，目前被市场视为下一个接续菲律宾的绝佳地点。相比之下，对博弈产业更为友善的迪拜，被营运商视为更适合迁移的「新博彩圣地」。 迪拜是国际级大型的商务中心之一，以资本投资和旅游、贸易、服务等驱动发展，具备坚强的外派劳动力。与马来西亚不同的是，迪拜的政府对博弈产业更为接纳，因为可观的博彩税收，可以为金融海啸以来的财政损失，注入大量的活水。为此，迪拜政府提供了理想及诱人的营运环境，吸引大批中国营运商前往驻点。要注意的是，迪拜保有穆斯林传统，不允许赌博，严格禁止当地人参于任何一种形式的博弈项目，一旦违反严格的法规一次，可能就吊销许可证或牌照。还有斋戒月时，整个工作时数会缩短，工作效率较降低等文化差异。 就我们的观察，迪拜约莫有80%的人口非当地国籍，其中印度、巴基斯坦、菲律宾又占最大宗。作为下一个行业的新兴市场印度，在迪拜采用印度人力资源，不但可以得到政府的支持，所营运的项目内容，能和印度市场有更高的文化连结，使迪拜更适合作为下一个据点的绝佳优势。

迪拜将是市场的新大本营?

Player-centric product design has become one of the key factors to success in the iGaming industry. In addition to personalized customer experience and excellent customer service, is there anything else to be aware of when it comes to the product itself?&nbsp;Adding Gaming ElementsMany successful iGaming brands have also noticed the importance of the addition of gaming elements. By constantly updating and introducing new features to the game such as special missions, quarterly tournaments, and virtual goods, many players are attracted and kept motivated to participate. For example,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jokerapp678i.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Joker Gaming</a>&nbsp;organizes global slot tournaments to increase player retention and satisfy players' need for a sense of achievement and bragging rights.&nbsp;These gaming elements not only increase player engagement, but also make them more willing to try new products and services. On the other hand, Motivation's live dealing will also introduce the service of livestreamers to guide players and accompany them to play the game in response to the market demand in the near future. Not only can players have one-on-one private conversations with livestreamers in the game, but it also supports a multi-currency reward mechanism that allows players to give gifts to their favorite livestreamers at any time.&nbsp;It is worth noting that&nbsp;<a href="https://motivations.cc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Motivation</a>&nbsp;has developed the industry's first non-fixed livestreaming window, which allows players to control the size and position of the window according to their own preferences, and to customize the window configuration with a single drag and drop.&nbsp;Meanwhile, in the iGaming industry, operators are increasingly providing players with the ability to pre-order betting slips and track their bets in real-time or automatically record betting information based on past usage habits, making it easy for players to bring up their past history with a single click, as well as allowing them to subscribe to their favorite live dealers in the live dealing system and other more personalized and convenient features, all of which seem to be small changes and may become the key factors for game operators to create revenue in this red sea market.&nbsp;ConclusionThe global iGaming market is undergoing a transformation that puts players at the center of the action. Whether it's providing personalized experiences, improving customer service, and adding gaming elements, these changes will require operators and providers to undergo an internal culture shift to better meet players' needs and build lasting loyalty. While the market is highly competitive, brands that focus on meeting player expectations are expected to gain more market share and loyal player support.

Player-Centric Products – What Operators Need to Know (Part 2)

The iGaming industry is constantly changing, and one of the most significant transformations in recent years has been the shift in focus from products to the players themselves.&nbsp;In the increasingly competitive iGaming industry, operators are placing more and more emphasis on player-centric product design. This shift is designed to meet ever-changing market demands, increase player engagement, and build long-term brand loyalty. In this article, we will discuss the important factors that should be paid attention to in player-centric product design through specific brand cases.&nbsp;Personalized Customer ExperienceOne prominent brand example of a personalized customer experience is&nbsp;<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/?" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Steam</a>, which leverages its unique set of algorithms and data analytics to provide personalized gaming recommendations to each user based on their browsing and purchasing history, preferences, and ratings. This personalized experience allows users to feel that their needs are being respected and helps Steam increase its user retention rate.&nbsp;In this way, iGaming operators can provide players with personalized gaming recommendations by analyzing their gaming history, game type preferences and playing time. For example, if a player prefers a live online product to a typical slot game, the gaming platform can proactively offer relevant game options, even letting the player know about the most popular dealer room options online, which is expected to boost player engagement and increase loyalty.&nbsp;Customer serviceCustomer service is paramount to player-centric products, and&nbsp;<a href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Epic Games</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.riotgames.com/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Riot Games</a>&nbsp;are two game companies that excel in this area. Not only do they have live chat support systems in place so that players can get help quickly if they have a problem, but their customer service teams also actively participate in various online social media outlets to build more interaction with players, communicate with them over time to build their relationships, and respond to their needs and feedback in real-time.&nbsp;This approach of focusing on customer service helps create a positive user experience where players receive superior attention and service that exceeds expectations. For iGaming operators, investing in quality customer service not only increases player satisfaction, but also increases loyalty and drives long-term engagement. When a brand establishes a sense of camaraderie with its players, the players will be more willing to provide the brand with a more objective and improved experience, which will be beneficial to the brand's long-term operation.&nbsp;With the improved smoothness and convenience of products on the platform together with the support of a stable customer service team, we will return to the product itself in the next article and continue to explore how player-centric games can adapt to the trend and how operators can adjust their products to cope with the trend.

Player-Centric Products – What Operators Need to Know (Part 1)

The emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a major breakthrough in the game industry in the field of art design, which has attracted widespread attention from game developers and enthusiasts. The application of this technology not only provides developers with more room for creativity, but also brings a series of challenges.&nbsp;Automatic Generation of Game ContentTraditionally, game art design is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that requires art designers to do a lot of tedious work, such as creating character models, designing scenes, and creating details, but in recent years, the emergence of AI technology has changed this pattern. AI can automatically generate a large amount of game content, from maps and terrains, to character styling and props design within the game, which is not only a time-saving and development cost-saving, but also an opportunity for developers to create their own games. This not only saves time and development costs, but also provides developers with more room for creativity.&nbsp;Enhanced Graphic QualityAny classic, popular and memorable gaming experience on the market usually requires excellent graphic quality. Leveraging AI technologies, graphics quality can be improved with high-resolution textures, realistic lighting, and smoother animation effects. These techniques not only improve the realism of game scenes and sophisticated on-screen effects, but also enhance the visual appeal of the game, making it more competitive and appealing to a wider range of players.&nbsp;Personalized Game ExperienceAI can also be used to provide a personalized game experience. By analyzing players' behaviors and preferences, the game can automatically adjust the difficulty level, storyline, and game content to meet the needs of different players. This personalized experience can increase player engagement, improve satisfaction, and encourage them to continue playing.&nbsp;Challenges and DrawbacksAlthough the use of AI in game art design brings many advantages, it also faces some challenges and drawbacks.&nbsp;Creative ConstraintsOver-reliance on AI can lead to a monotonous game design. Developers may lose sight of the creative side because they rely too much on generated content. This may result in all games looking similar and lacking uniqueness.&nbsp;Quality ControlAI-generated graphics and content may not always meet the developer's expectations. Quality control will become more difficult, as AI-generated graphics often require more supervision and adjustment than before, especially on issues such as graphical consistency and issues related to human and ethno-cultural aspects, and producers will need to put more effort into monitoring to ensure the quality of the game is standardized.&nbsp;Intellectual Property RightsAI mapping techniques often use a large number of datasets and models to generate images and resources. However, these datasets often contain material created by different artists and designers. Therefore, a key question is how to protect the rights of the creators of these images when they are generated by AI.In addition, whether AI-generated images are independently copyrighted is another controversial issue. AI-generated content is not strictly created by humans, so should it be in the public domain?&nbsp;As the use of AI in the gaming industry continues to evolve, it has also led to a variety of legal controversies. In order for this new technology to be successfully applied to future business models, and to ensure that the rights of creators are protected, it is necessary to actively engage the industry, legal experts and the government in the discussion.

Innovations in Game Development and Breakthroughs of AI in Art and Design

Actual ProtectionWhile AI has brought many new variations to gaming products, it can also be an element that is detrimental to the robustness of the industry. Leigh Nissim, CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.futureanthem.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Future Anthem</a>, believes that AI is one way to minimize gambling controversies. For a responsible operator, there has long been a traditionally functioning approach to minimizing risk to players. Yet as consumers move to newer ways of adding value, such as open banking, there is an increasing difficulty for operators in tracking how consumers are adding value. As a result of this shift, it will become more challenging for companies to access and analyze data, and therefore more difficult to continue to perform risk management.&nbsp;AI also plays an important role in customer interactions, for example, by preventing players from dropping out and optimizing the marketing funnel through big data analysis and engagement analysis. In the field of customer service, AI can also be used to enhance the player experience in a more timely and efficient manner, and it is also useful in detecting and preventing improper gambling behavior.&nbsp;Comprehensive Development PotentialAs the gambling industry grows, while much of the discussion on AI has centered on digital applications, AI can play an equally important role in the physical gambling industry as well. According to<a href="https://www.datarobot.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">&nbsp;DataRobot</a>, an AI cloud services company, AI can also be applied to casinos. In the most intuitive way, it can be used to predict the skill level of each table in a casino and adjust staffing levels accordingly.&nbsp;Indeed, many other industries are rapidly seeking ways to effectively utilize AI, but AI should not be seen as a remedy for all industries. The implementation of AI can also have a knock-on effect on organizations, especially if they apply AI inappropriately and haphazardly. When enterprises begin the process of implementing an AI solution, they often find that the initial costs and resource intensity are much higher than what they had expected, and they are prone to the misconception that AI will be the panacea for everything, and that it can be applied to instantly improve their efficiency and profitability.&nbsp;Lloyd Danzig, founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sharpalphaadvisors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sharp Alpha Advisors</a>, believes that enterprises should realize that AI relies on certain data standards in order to be effective. One of the main drawbacks of using AI solutions is that, given the speed and scale of their deployment, the conclusions or predictions they make can sometimes lead to further complications. “The quality of an AI solution depends on the quality of the data that’s being fed into it, which is why there’s a saying of ‘garbage in, garbage out’,” says Danzig.&nbsp;In addition, there has been some public debate about whether the development of AI will become a force to dominate the job market. Nevertheless, the AI industry is somewhat unconvinced by this concern: although AI may lead to a reduction in the demand for employment in certain human tasks, many manpower resources will need to be invested in the field of data. Therefore, when interpreted in terms of data talents, AI can, on the contrary, bring more job vacancies to society.&nbsp;Strictly speaking, the development of AI does not threaten human tasks, but manual processes. This is exactly the misconception that many people have about this new technology. Although there will be fewer manual processes, there will be an improvement in technologies and therefore more data scientists, data engineers, technicians and analysts will be needed for such advancement. The significant implementation of AI and machine learning tools in the gambling industry over the next five years will create a significant number of new jobs, as well as enable stakeholders to shift their focus to more productive functions and create entirely new employment opportunities.&nbsp;Based on Sportradar’s real-world example, it has already been necessary to create an entire team to carry out the necessary support and maintenance in order to keep the AI running. The company currently employs “more than 700 engineers and 40 AI and machine learning experts specializing in the integrated work of creating a database of 20 billion files from data that is 100% accurate and delivers 30 million odds per minute.”&nbsp;Although AI is a revolutionary innovation for the gambling industry, the pace of development of the gambling industry is also rapidly accelerating, and with the complementary nature of different technologies, it is believed that the industry will be able to lay a more stable path for its future development.&nbsp;

The Intelligence of the Future: Artificial Intelligence and the Gambling Industry (Part 2)

As casino games continue to evolve, so does the need for the latest technological advances, and one of the fastest-growing areas is artificial intelligence.&nbsp;Artificial Intelligence (AI) has influenced the way the gambling industry operates in many ways, not only broadening the industry’s horizons, but also creating an entirely new gaming environment with virtually unlimited machine-operated capabilities.&nbsp;In fact, every area of the gaming industry, from developers creating games to operators monitoring their customers’ play, is increasingly utilizing AI to innovate with greater precision and time savings. AI is also changing the way the world develops outside of the industry. For example, AI will be a key component of self-driving cars and medical technology advancements, to name a few.&nbsp;Looking back over recent years, Paolo Personeni, Managing Director MBS (Managed Betting Services) at&nbsp;<a href="https://sportradar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sportradar</a>&nbsp;AG, believes that AI is an important sign of maturity in the industry and is vital to its continued growth. “AI is a key component of product development,” said Mr. Personeni. “Over the past five years, our industry has undergone a major digital transformation, and AI has played a critical role in its development.” It is clear that AI is a key technology in the industry that cannot be ignored.&nbsp;Diversified ApplicationsIn the gambling industry, AI can collect data and analyze statistics and events to continuously improve its accuracy, making the industry an ideal testing ground for the development of AI.&nbsp;Lloyd Danzig, founder and managing partner of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sharpalphaadvisors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Sharp Alpha Advisors</a>, points out that data is at the heart of how AI works in the gambling industry, and that it is a core competency needed for game design, odds making, risk management, customer analytics, incentive program optimization, and fraud detection. Therefore, it is expected that the industry will rely heavily on the use of AI to consolidate historical data and predict future behavior.&nbsp;&nbsp;Aiming for the GoalAccording to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.personal.ai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">Personeni</a>, the use of AI is particularly critical in the sports betting sector, where it is central to ensuring that Sportradar’s products and solutions are as accurate as possible. He further explains, “For Sportradar, one of our core focus areas is to develop superior computer vision capabilities using machine/deep learning, which is a form of AI that can be used to analyze models and further parse video and images. For example, by calculating a player’s speed and trajectory, we can predict when a player is offside, or predict when an attack will start.”&nbsp;At the same time, the design of AI can complement more aspects of the game, allowing for more unrestricted game development in the future. In 2019, hardware intelligence company MicroTeam launched a pair of AI soccer boots that can capture relevant sports data at high speeds with an accuracy that can even be calculated in millimeters, including the line of attack and the distance traveled without the ball. This data can then be analyzed and used in player and match evaluations as well as sports betting platforms. AI is also used to analyze and predict e-sports matches to provide bettors with the best possible experience. For example, Esports Technologies filed an AI patent in October last year for the creation of odds models for e-sports betting competitions.&nbsp;

The Intelligence of the Future: Artificial Intelligence and the Gambling Industry (Part 1)

Virtual reality is considered by many people to be the next great chance in the gaming industry. Compared with physical games, VR games go one step further and allow players to use VR glasses and sensory devices to fully immerse themselves in an online environment.Without leaving home, players can enter a virtual casino with visual and auditory effects from real casinos. In this space, players can interact with other users through life-like games in which the dealers distribute the cards and slot machines.&nbsp;However, for this industry, is VR casinos a developing trend or is it just a short-term fad? This article uses the following points to explore:&nbsp;Overview of VR Gaming MarketAccording to Technavio’s VR gaming report, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the VR gaming market will reach 53.1% from 2020 to 2025.This result is largely attributable to the casino’s continued growth online. The popularity of online live games, streaming media, and e-sports, as well as the booming of new and promising markets in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, make this development trend clearer.&nbsp;However, there are still many potential obstacles to overcome in the development of VR casinos, including the high cost of VR glasses and peripheral hardware equipment, privacy issues, and supervision uncertainty. These issues will limit the growth of the VR market and the willingness of online players.&nbsp;VR Hardware and Software MarketAt present, VR casino games don’t make up much of the online gaming world. Our goal is to make VR casinos go beyond the previous 3D lobby and create a fully immersive gaming room where users can interact with players and live dealers just like they would in a physical casino.&nbsp;As virtual reality hardware evolves, we expect these experiences to become even more thrilling. For example, players can walk in the 360-degree simulated environment of the Las Vegas Strip without going out, or enjoy the additional experience brought by the VR game -immersive role-playing game (RPG) etc.&nbsp;If the number of people buying VR glasses increases, it can easily be expected that VR will become the mainstream of the gaming industry. However, whether this assumption can be true is full of uncertainties. In addition, in the development of VR hardware devices, can developers accurately predict players’ ideas? Or will they face more diverse voices in the market? These are variables that affect the popularity of VR devices.&nbsp;On the other hand, according to recent data released by YouGov, due to the high price of VR glasses and lack of compatibility, 32% of American players and 24% of British players believe that VR has not achieved its potential. This makes it impossible for developers to obtain corresponding economic rewards on hardware devices; therefore, it is unlikely that software compatible with hardware will continue to be developed; and users will be further reduced because of the difficulty of obtaining software. Whether this vicious cycle can be overcome remains uncertain.&nbsp;Although the development of VR has been arduous, there are still signs that this market is promising. According to research published by Statista, the global VR market is expected to grow from “less than $12 billion in 2022 to over $22 billion in 2025.”

Is Virtual Reality Casino A Trend or A Fad? (Part 1)

In the previous article, we have roughly mentioned the overview of the current VR gaming market as well as the perspectives of software and hardware. Next, we will introduce potential obstacles to the development of VR:&nbsp;Graphics QualityIn theory, VR should be able to create graphics with high frame rates and high-resolution. Right now, however, the graphics quality available in VR apps is relatively immature compared to the latest games on PS5. This situation may discourage initial users and hinder future development of VR gaming platforms.&nbsp;Barrier in PurchasingThis is one of the biggest problems in the VR gaming market right now.Many people are unable to play in VR casinos due to the high cost of purchasing equipment.In 2022, the average cost of VR glasses in the United States is $430, and it is expected that the cost will remain at this price in the next few years, not to mention the high-spec glasses on the market, which may even cost thousands of dollars to start.If production costs remain high, it is unlikely that VR will reach the mass market in the future and become available in every home.&nbsp;Supervision UncertaintyVR casinos are an emerging market that is still in its infancy, which means that the corresponding supervision system has not yet caught up with market demand. The basic legality of this market alone may be a major task that hinders operators from laying a foundation for the market.Currently, there is no supervision framework for VR games in the United States. Even who should oversee the platform is still under discussion.&nbsp;What VR Casinos Need to SucceedAlthough the market is full of confidence in the potential development of VR casinos, operators and technology suppliers still need to be more prepared to outperform online gaming platforms (such as live video games) that are nearing maturity.After all, while non-VR online gaming platforms can’t offer the grandiose experience of immersive VR, they offer something much more important — real money games, full-fledged mobile apps, social promotions, and all without investment of expensive devices.These platforms have set a precedent for the bare minimum that players can expect. Therefore, future VR casinos need to at least meet the above, and even more, requirements in order to attract players to switch platforms.&nbsp;Supervision and SafetyTo establish credibility, operators will need to prove their credibility, including passing rigorous testing and review of all products, and obtaining an official gaming license through a recognized agency to demonstrate iGaming compliance. System security also needs attentive consideration. Most online casinos currently use SSL encryption, while potential options for VR casinos include biometric security and distributed ledger technology (DLT).&nbsp;Increase of Game ChoicesIn order to compete with mature online gaming platforms, VR casinos need to increase the variety of games to match the products of standard casinos. That means adding classic table games like roulette, blackjack, poker, and plenty of slot machines.On this basis, VR casinos have the opportunity to compete with existing online gaming platforms by providing simulated games and immersive experiences on virtual platforms.&nbsp;Offer Convenience for Real Money GamesIn the world of VR gaming, opportunities for real money games are still rare.In order to compete with existing online gaming, VR casino operators need to introduce more convenient payment options (e.g.: virtual cash register). The payment method may be cryptocurrency transactions, and this part has gradually gained consensus on online gaming websites.&nbsp;In-Game Chat Interaction OpportunitiesIn-game instant communication needs to improve if VR operators are to compete with real-world gaming experiences as they claim.At present, the social functions in most VR casinos are only the most basic ones. Operators should look for more opportunities to facilitate live conversations, tableside conversations, and chats between players.&nbsp;Fortunately, cloud communication technology is also constantly developing. The maturity of communication technology allows users to communicate more instantly and directly. If the scope of communication technology can be expanded in the future, VR casinos are expected to add more real-time interactive services.&nbsp;Are VR casinos Just a Fad?Although the current development is relatively immature, VR casinos are promising. Whether VR casinos will be a trend of the future or be forgotten in the market will depend on the implementation of fundamental developments. Without these developments, VR casinos will not be able to break into the mainstream market.At present, the hypothesis of applying VR to online games is still full of unknowns, but we have to wait and see.&nbsp;

Is Virtual Reality Casino A Trend or A Fad? (Part 2)

巴菲特 : 比特币没有价值，摩根大通 : 比特币为「经济余兴节目」，末日博士鲁比尼（Nouriel Roubini）:人类历史上最具投机性的「伪资产」，美国财政部长叶伦（Janet Yellen）更是恐惧及厌恶它，比特币凭什么受到博彩界的青睐? 使用比特币的第一个优势，是它确保了所有者和玩家的隐私。没有第三方可以窃取或访问您的个人和财务信息。此外，玩家将不会遇到如信用卡等相关的退款问题。 其次是认证机制，有效的提供财务流动追踪，同时满足金融监管和钱包用户。所有交易都储存在区块链中，并且在任何时候都可以取得连接。如此一来，提供了更安全保障，保护用户资金免于曝光个资或财务状况。 世界上目前还没有哪个国家，承认比特币是一种真正的货币。所以，您的比特币不需要被征税，也是一个绝佳优势。使用比特币作为主要的存、提款工具并不昂贵，且无需为银行交易支付任何费用。 大多数国家、地区都制定了有关在线赌博的官方法规，但只有少数几个国家、地区对加密赌博进行监管，其中包括英国，意大利，荷兰，希腊，波兰和比利时。博彩的形式一直在变更，而未来区块链上的博彩将成为新形式。 尽管成功采用的赌场面临许多监管和技术挑战，全球赌博业却对加密货币越来越友好。在线赌场，甚至著名的拉斯韦加斯场所，都开始接受比特币和其他加密货币，这是我们将来可能会继续看到的趋势。

比特币凭什么受到博彩市场的青睐?

<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/GTKeAQVn.gif"> 什么是 Crash Gambling​？Crash Gambling（暂译：爆点游戏），是 2014 年以来，流行于欧美的多人连线博弈游戏之一，游戏始于加密货币作为主要的赌注，包含比特币（BTC），乙太币（ ETH），莱特币（LTC）还有多吉币（DOGE）等众多加密货币。 Crash Gambling 怎么玩？游戏的原始介面以常规图形为中心，直线和乘数以秒为单位递增。例如：图形从 1x 开始，在 2 秒后至 2x ，3 秒后至 5x 以此类推。游戏过程的风险，来自于未知的乘数爆点，让我们来举个例子：1. 玩家 1 和玩家 2 在一场比特币爆点游戏中，都下注了 100 美元等值的比特币2. 10 秒后乘数来到了5x，也就是下注本金的 5 倍3. 玩家 1 非正式保守，因此决定兑现5倍的奖金，这时他的收益为 500 美元等值的比特币4. 玩家 2 过度冒险，他的设定目标为 7 倍奖金5. 不幸的是，这场游戏在 6.5x 的时候就引爆，玩家2在不符合预期的情况下，损失本金 100 美元等值的比特币 哪些地方正流行？COVID-19 疫情爆发以来，Crash Gambling 的 Google 关键字搜寻搜寻成爆发性的成长，以纽西兰与美国搜寻占比最高，其他包含澳洲，加拿大，爱尔兰，英国，德国，法国及荷兰，都是占比前10的地区。著名所有在线博弈项目，Crash Gambling 也搭上这一波 2020 年 COVID -19 疫情优势，甚至到 2020 年 8 月时，达到了搜寻的最高峰。 <img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/b4aEqBNb.jpg">图：google趋势 2014 – 2020年崩溃赌博赌博关键词搜寻变化<img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/p2lbUgaD.jpg"><img src="https://images.hfyali.com/citrus/news-quill/FsEXjrdS.jpg"> 图：Google趋势 2014 – 2020年崩溃赌博的地区搜寻偏好 游戏安全吗？崩溃赌博采用了公平的游戏公平创新技术，为每场游戏提供验证，玩家可以在每场游戏结束后立即验证，甚至可以通过协力厂商验证工具，更加确保每场游戏是否符合公平性。 CQ9 的观察Crash Gambling 在不同的平台中，不乏有来自中国与东南亚的玩家，甚至有简化的手游版，在泰国博弈市场有不错的表现，可见的游戏，其实也相当吸引亚洲的玩家。虽然说游戏始于加密货币，但是调查中也发现，在市场上已经有游戏开发商，将游戏结合在地营运商平台，采用当地货币作为赌注，吸引更多亚洲玩家认识与尝试，未来，崩溃赌博是否有机会，成为另一个指标性的在线博弈游戏，我们将持续追踪与观察。

疫情以来欧美流行的在线博弈游戏

在线博弈知名品牌博狗 (Bodog) 为遵守亚洲各地监管机构要求，决定停止在亚洲的业务，其中包含中国、印度尼西亚、柬埔寨，越南，泰国，韩国，马来西亚和日本。 博狗 (Bodog) 是亚洲市场上受欢迎的在线赌场和体育博彩运营商。提供在线扑克、在线赌场和体育博彩等服务与内容，尽管在该地区拥有成千上万的玩家，但在线博弈在亚洲大部分的国家，仍属非法。唯一的例外是的Bodog Poker india，它仍在运营，这表示印度扑克市场继续保持快速增长，也服务如孟加拉国、尼泊尔和斯里兰卡等国家或地区。&nbsp;同样的竞争对手Partypoker和PokerStars，在近期也陆续离开了几个亚洲市场，使得亚洲的玩家，现在只能选择非常有限的在线扑克游戏。这也表示，对于熟悉亚洲地区的营运商，将有更大的机会。 <a href="https://www.legalgamblingandthelaw.com/news/bodog-pulls-out-of-asia-in-order-to-comply-with-regulations/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 130, 193);">出处参考</a>

博狗 ( Bodog ) 离开亚洲市场

全球市场洞察力公司（Global Market Insights Inc.）最近发布关于在线赌博市场的报告表明，在线博弈的市场价值将继续增长，到2026年将超过1600亿美元。该报告归因于智能手机的普及，互联网基础设施的改进，易用性赌场游戏平台的出现，还有虚拟现实（VR）、物联网（IoT）以及加密货币和区块链等技术的进步。 基于加密货币越来越受到博弈玩家的青睐。例如，Cointelegraph报告说「总部位于美国的加密游戏公司 Bling 在3月份的用户数量增长了近50％，该平台每天达到70,000用户，每月超过40万活跃用户」。区块链提供安全和透明交易的能力，与传统赌博网站相比，有更好的内部赔率（大约1.5-2％）。 特别是比特币SV（$ BSV）是一种日益流行的选择。BSV由于其出色的后端安全性令牌化功能，强大的身份验证协议，透明度以及其成本和运营效率，这就是为什么更多行业营运平台选择使用 BSV 区块链来建立其运营的原因。 传统的博弈行业一直致力于提供卓越的客户体验，而加密货币的出现，则是满足玩家对交易速度和安全性的期望。

全球在线博弈区块链需求激增

在线赌场游戏比起实体赌场更加方便，当然，还有令人雀跃的注册及登入奖金，玩家可以享受最多种类的赌场游戏，以下是CQ9整理live真人的科技趋势重点。 真人荷官游戏&nbsp;这些在线平台，由真人荷官负责主导游戏的进行，从轮盘到二十一点等多种游戏，给玩家如亲临现场的真实体验。玩家可以在屏幕上实时操作下注，同时通过聊天与荷官进行互动。 移动娱乐场&nbsp;很大一部分玩家，会通过手机或各种移动装置，进行在线娱乐游戏，这也直接的证明，在线移动服务的持续增长。现在大多数国际娱乐场品牌，都拥有属于自己的移动在线娱乐场，满足玩家在任何地方进行游戏，也是目前在线娱乐的主要趋势。 电子货币包&nbsp;对于玩家而言，最大的使用问题是，缺乏安全的支付交易方式。提供个人财务数据，对玩家隐私与安全都相当危险， 这时，电子货币包就能符合市场的需要。诸如Skrill、NETeller、PayPal、Click2Pay和ecoPayz之类的电子货币包，方便使用外也更加便宜、安全及快速。不仅如此，还可以帮助玩家与营运平台之间，建立相互追踪与信息交流的管道，能持续优化使用者的体验。 随者5G的普及后，在线娱乐游戏不论在技术或体验，在未来都将会达到一个全新的层次。

科技让在线赌场更真实

未来几年，博弈娱乐游戏最大趋势之一，便是&nbsp;5G&nbsp;的网络传输被广泛的应用。它将成为我们的新标准，改变我们的思考速度，还有前所未有的网络流畅体验。但是5G对行业的影响有多重大&nbsp;?&nbsp;可以从几个方向看出其中最大效益&nbsp;:&nbsp;增加移动装置的使用时间5G&nbsp;将使那些习惯使用移动装置的玩家受益，也将吸引更多玩家尝试在移动装置上享受博弈娱乐。理所当然，游戏营运商、供货商等行业产业链，都会将焦点与精力放在移动产品上。&nbsp;增加更好的付款方式电子支付和电子货币包已经普遍的行业运用，为了更方便交易，全都依靠稳定的网络速度与质量。这些都将通过系统中的安全流程，来帮助防御各种安全威胁。通过收集玩家的使用习惯与数据，为行业产品开发带来个性化的服务。&nbsp;多人真人游戏兴起透过网速的进步，同一个博弈游戏将容许更多玩家的加入，让玩家的体验更接近实体赌场游戏。这为日益丰富的实时娱乐平台，改善视觉效果、更流畅的游戏玩法机制等，收益者将会是所有的玩家。&nbsp;VR&nbsp;的崛起除上述三个好处外，5G也将让VR技术更加成熟。VR对数据与硬件方面要求非常的严苛，现在使用智能手机，就可以完全想上完整的VR体验。一些具有前瞻性的游戏供货商，已经开始采用虚拟游戏方式。尽管目前形式尚未成熟，不过也预见在未来，将会把玩家带入令人难以置信又身历其境的游玩体验。&nbsp;无论如何，5G将轻易地增强和改进目前的行业产业链，增强的视觉效果和消除网络等待时间现象，这些终将带来了更加愉悦的体验。
