Pitch! @RTG<\/a> is designed to surface technology that can genuinely shift regulatory outcomes \u2014 innovations that respond to real-world challenges, strengthen integrity, and deliver the capability uplift regulators and operators are seeking. Angel Smart Tables exemplify that purpose.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nClosing the fundamental data gap in table games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Poker machines have long provided operators with rich, accurate behavioural and transactional data to support safer gambling, player protection and regulatory compliance. Table games, by contrast, have been trapped in a legacy model \u2014 reliant on dealer observations, manual recording and subjective assessments. The resulting data is often inconsistent, incomplete, and insufficient for proper decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angel has changed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has developed and deployed a Smart Table technology solution<\/strong> that uses video-assisted artificial intelligence<\/strong> to generate granular, accurate, player-level data<\/strong> across table games. The system captures, in real time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2022 Buy-ins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Betting patterns and stake sizes across all tables and all betting sessions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Time on table<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Win\/loss and turnover<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Full historical play patterns for individual patrons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the first time, operators have access to reliable, auditable data<\/strong> from table games \u2014 data capable of supporting meaningful harm minimisation, accurate player assessment, informed interventions, and stronger regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA decade of investment now reshaping APAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Angel\u2019s Smart Table platform is the product of ten years of development, combining AI and RFID modules with flexible configurations to meet different regulatory environments. The technology is already deployed in Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia<\/strong>, with further installations underway in New Zealand and interest emerging from new gaming markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCasinos are using the system to enhance game security, detect counterfeit chips and past-posting, optimise table operations, and gain detailed insight into patron behaviour \u2014 capabilities previously unavailable to operators and regulators alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bryan Jenkins<\/strong>, Managing Director, Angel Australasia, said: \u201cAcross Australia, regulatory expectations have shifted dramatically. The inquiries, independent monitoring and comprehensive remediation programs of recent years have made one thing absolutely clear: operators need accurate, verifiable table-game data. Traditional manual systems simply can\u2019t meet the evidentiary standards now required under AML\/CTF supervision or emerging harm-minimisation frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Angel Smart Tables represent a genuine step-change. For the first time, operators can prove<\/em> what is happening on their gaming floors rather than relying on inference or incomplete records. That level of precision is becoming essential in Australia\u2019s environment, and it\u2019s exactly why we\u2019re seeing strong uptake of the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nPaul Newson<\/strong>, principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game, added: “Angel\u2019s Smart Table technology speaks directly to the sector\u2019s most pressing challenge \u2014 reliable data for player protection and regulatory assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Pitch! exists to bring forward practical innovations that strengthen integrity and capability across regulated environments. Angel\u2019s solution is precisely the kind of transformational uplift the sector needs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pitch! will bring Angel\u2019s technology before an audience of regulators, policymakers, operators and international delegates \u2014 a forum built to accelerate regulatory capability and support safer gambling outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
