The platform GameSource has landed with its new terminals at the IR.

Macau.- Gaming technology developer International Alliance Systems Limited (IAS) has officially launched its GameSource powered new terminals at MGM Macau, according to local media.

GameSource consists of a platform giving land-based casinos access via a data cloud to a library of electronic games. The platform runs on generic devices with touchscreen capability. The technology allows the user to play without an specific hardware.

About eight fixed terminals and four hand-held computer tablets were now made available in the integrated resort near VIP areas, using the company’s Service as a Service (SaaS) software. Any pre-registered PC-based display device can be used as a player terminal, with a personalised interface, while allowing operators to choose from an array of certified slot, house, and virtual sports games.

“We’ve been working hard for the last four to five years. It has been a long journey […] We have waited for more than we expected, however, I’m proud of it […] it never happened in the industry that these kinds of platforms were accepted and approved”, the company’s CEO, Anthony Ip, said.

Mr. Ip indicated to Macau News Agency, that the terminals at MGM took six months for design, production, testing, and certification, with newer terminals not yet installed having been certified in eight to nine months, something Mr. Ip described as “impressive” considering their complexity.

The more recent terminals are expected to be installed in MGM in the next two months. Mr. Ip stated the company is working on more innovative contents, with partnerships with international developers
