On April 20th and April 25th 2010, The Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA), Singapore’s casino regulator, granted Weike Gaming Technology a full Gaming Machine Manufacturer’s Licence, and approved the Weike Infinity Gaming Machine together with a series of 25 and 50 lines games. Weike now joins a small group of International manufacturers that are licensed in Singapore to supply the 2 new casinos which have recently opened in the world’s newest regulated casino jurisdiction.

Commenting on the granting of the license and the approvals, David Kinsman, Weike Gaming Technology’s CEO said, “It’s a great honour to now have achieved the milestone of a full manufacturer’s license in our home country. We are delighted that the CRA have found Weike worthy of this license, and we join a small, elite group of International companies that are licensed to supply the Singapore casinos.”

Mr Kinsman went on, “Singapore had established the world’s highest regulatory standards, and it’s a significant achievement for a company such as ours to meet those requirements and be judged suitable. As the standards are so high both for probity and technical requirement, the achievement of a Singapore license is a significant asset to any company in our industry.”

Weike has delivered machines to both Singapore casinos and it will be showcasing its newest International games and packaged links in that market. Weike is also planning to launch its METG range of electronic gaming tables into the Singapore casino market later this year. It’s expected that both Singapore casinos will look at further development of their slot operations over the first 12-18 months of operation, and analysts are predicting that slot revenues in the Singapore casino market will be high as a percentage of overall revenue.

“Weike does very well in Singapore clubs” Mr. Kinsman said, “We have established a loyal following with Singapore club machine players across our country, and we are looking at that success flowing on to casino players. After all, Singapore has been a very strong market for slot machines for many years, so both casinos can look forward to slots being a very strong contributor to their profits”.

Weike Gaming Technology, having recently been awarded “Best Asian Manufacturer 2009” in Inside Asian Gaming Magazine Supplier Awards, has established a solid reputation for its advanced technology and innovative product offerings, with its range of Infinity gaming machines, Multi-player Electronic Table Games, and state-of the art gaming management and jackpot systems.

Established in 1998, Weike is truly committed to serve the needs of its Asian market, namely Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Philippines, Macau and Korea. Its move into the Spanish market will also see an extension of that concentration on product excellence, performance and superior customer service, which has been the company’s hallmark in Asian markets.
