Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies Inc., known as a one-stop shop for Asian casino operators for gaming-floor products and services, has been expanding its presence and offer in the Asia-Pacific region.
Joe Pisano, founder and chief executive of the Manila, Philippines-based firm, said in a recent interview with GGRAsia that the company is offering casinos in the region a broad range of equipment.
“We now have the product range to fully fit out a casino,” he said of the firm’s ability to supply a suite of products gleaned from a variety of major makers of original equipment. These include slot machines, traditional gaming tables, gaming tables capable of handling casino chips fitted with RFID technology, systems, and redemption terminals for players to cash play tickets or claim rewards.
Jade Entertainment has also expanded its footprint as a supplier to Asia-Pacific markets.
“We now have offices in Malaysia, Vietnam, Macau, the Philippines. We plan to expand into Australia, so I’m going through licensing in Australia,” Pisano said.
“We service small and large venues. Recently we did fit-out at Corona,” he noted, referring to Corona Resort and Casino on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. The casino at the property opened in January and is entitled to serve local players provided they meet certain conditions in terms of their income and wealth.
“A lot of such places are new to the industry,” he noted, referring to smaller venues springing up across Southeast Asia. “We can provide them with a lot of services and support. Or we can supply the larger properties, where we now have a very big tech team.”
