IGT is En Pointe with OnPremise solution for the Asian market


International Game Technology believes that its OnPremise mobile betting solution with its new baccarat back-betting functionality could be the perfect option for the baccarat dominated markets of Asia.


OnPremise’s new back betting feature utilises embedded technology that enables casino patrons to play at multiple live tables simultaneously through their smartphone or tablet from any permitted area within a casino. IGT demonstrated OnPremise’ back betting with side bets capabilities at G2E Asia, showing how the solution seamlessly integrates into existing Players’ Club programs and enables players to earn rewards for OnPremise play.


Proxy betting, the practice of back betting via a telephone, has recently been outlawed in Macau. Driven by the austerity drive and the desire not to be seen in the casino, it was believed to account for up to 10 per cent of VIP revenue. However, IGT believes that back betting via a device is a new concept and one that gaming authorities will authorise.


IGT’s OnPremise is designed to open up the mobile world to land-based casinos and provide gaming opportunities that go beyond the limits of physical expansion. Other key features of OnPremise for players and operators include:

omni-channel games, one-touch access, player loyalty programs, convenience applications and more.


Speaking to G3 at G2E Asia, Walter Bugno, IGT CEO International, explained: “OnPremise solves multiple issues, but most applicable to Macau is that OnPremise provides a solution to crowded gaming tables where people want to bet, but can’t get close to the action. Tis is a solution that we believe is going to be hugely


popular across Asia. IGT is constantly evaluating how we can leverage meaningful innovation in new and existing product segments to differentiate our customers’ casino floors and exceed players’ expectations. Te next generation of our OnPremise mobile betting solution has back betting and side betting features that can help our customers further capitalise on the immense regional popularity of baccarat, while meeting the increasing player demand for mobile gaming solutions.”
