Hard on the heels of Jade SportsBet’s recent launch at the flagship Okada Manila, G3 caught up with Joe Pisano, CEO of Jade Entertainment, to discuss its plans for sports betting in the Philippines and the immediate future for gaming across Asia’s ever-evolving space.
Your sports betting wing, Jade SportsBet, recently launched at Okada Manila’s flagship casino. How has it been integrated into the resort?
Okada Manila is very much the jewel in the Philippines’ casino crown, a dazzling monolith with approximately 1,000 rooms at the heart of Entertainment City. Accordingly, we went to great lengths to make sure we had the right technology and trading partnerships in place so that we could roll out a sports betting product to match.
Tese days, of course, we talk less about casino in isolation and more about Integrated Resorts – and with good reason. After all, it’s worth remembering that we’re in the entertainment business. And whenever people stop being entertained or lose interest, they want to change
the channel. Tat can mean pivoting to a state- of-the-art sportsbook or a comprehensive casino portfolio, but also extends to the varied cuisine of top restaurants or top-brand shopping malls, all served by easy-access transport.
You allude to the leading technology and operations teams you’ve assembled at Okada. What sets them apart?
Jade SportsBet has teamed up with RPM Gaming, a dedicated retail and online betting and gaming company led by proven UK professionals, and we’ve quickly acquired one of only two sports betting licenses in the Philippines. With their unique know-how and our combined expertise, we selected Biztech Software’s Arkle EPOS system for the project.
