Asia Gaming Awards recognised Spintec’s Charisma as the best among electronic table gaming solutions based on its added value, reliability, support, functionality, customer experience, and revenue generation.

The award confirms that Spintec’s role as one of the leading providers of electronic table games (ETGs) in Asia is not a coincidence. It is especially admirable that they are most successful in Macau, an extremely important market known for its size, strict regulations, and high operational standards. Spintec’s presence in Asia is therefore stronger than ever, driven by a deep understanding of the market’s needs and a commitment to delivering cutting-edge ETG solutions that enhance the player experience and casino profitability.

Spintec’s products are the preferred choice for operators looking for reliability, innovation, and seamless integration into their gaming floors.

Spintec’s success in Asia is also fuelled by their unwavering focus on product excellence and continuous innovation, such as the recent launch of their Charisma line. From stand-alone, compact solutions to multiplayer and amphitheater setups, Spintec’s ETGs are designed to optimize player engagement and operational efficiency. Casinos across Asia trust Spintec’s solutions to maximize uptime and enhance gameplay.

Maria Garcia is the Executive and Sales Director of APE, Spintec’s exclusive distributor in Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia. As she was receiving the award, she emphasised: “Spintec’s ETGs have quickly become one of the bestsellers in our portfolio — and that’s no coincidence. With the launch of the Charisma product line, it’s clear their solutions are superior in every aspect. We are beyond thrilled that Spintec has received this prestigious recognition. It proves that APE has decided on the best possible partnership and it gives us additional drive to continue developing our markets.”

Maksim Gojković, Spintec’s Regional Sales Manager, agrees: “We are extremely proud and thankful for this recognition. Asia is one of Spintec’s most important markets and the cooperation with APE has been admirable. This latest award just proves that products developed in cooperation with good partners will always bring an advantage.”

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation today said it has ordered one of its licensees to pull out its advertising sponsorship for an online TV program that features bra-less women to ensure the integrity of the local gaming industry.

According to Atty. Jeremy Luglug, PAGCOR Assistant Vice President for the Electronic Gaming and Licensing Department, he immediately called the concerned licensee after an online podcast informed PAGCOR about the sponsorship for the controversial TV show hosted by a popular actor.

“We will not tolerate such advertising support by any of our licensees for such very demeaning and sex-oriented show,” Mr. Luglug said.

He clarified that the licensee does not own the said show featuring nearly naked women as claimed by the online podcast, adding that the licensee is in fact a Filipino and not a foreigner as alleged.

Likewise, the PAGCOR official belied claims that young people are getting addicted to gambling because only adults have access to gaming sites as well as to electronic wallets that are being used to place bets.

“Our licensees have very strict Know Your Customer or KYC protocols to ensure that only those who are 21 years old and above can play,” he said. “And the same is true with our e-wallet providers.”

However, he said it could be possible that minors can play through unlicensed and illegal online gaming sites which are not registered with PAGCOR.

“That is why we urge the public, especially our parents, to ensure that young people are not able to access sites that are intended only for adults.

“We also urge gamers and players to patronize only PAGCOR-licensed gaming operators to preserve the integrity of the gaming industry,” Mr. Luglug added.

GLI is one of the industry’s most respected testing labs, renowned for its rigorous and complex testing methods. By securing this certification, BGaming is now able to supply its content to licensed operators in Italy, providing local players with access to its cutting-edge gaming portfolio for the first time.

In addition to the GLI certification, BGaming has obtained the Information Security Management System (ISCS) certification for the Italian market and has undergone a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment conducted by Bulletproof. These further demonstrate the company’s commitment to data security and player protection.

Italy is a crucial market for BGaming as it continues to expand its global presence. The news comes a little over a month after the company secured the required certification from GLI to enter the Brazilian market.

Antonina Ivanova, Head of Legal & Compliance at BGaming, said: “Obtaining the certificates required for the Italian market marks a significant milestone for BGaming. The certification process was complex and thorough, and we are delighted to be able to prove the reliability and accuracy of our games and system, as well as our full compliance with local laws. We are also extremely proud of our team for getting this over the line.

“Italian players are among the most enthusiastic in the world, and we can not wait to introduce them to our unique brand of online games. This marks a significant milestone in our continued expansion across Europe and continues our strong start to 2025.”
