The International Association of Gaming Advisors heads to Macau


Macau. Just the mere mention of this former Portuguese trading post just an hour by ferry from Hong Kong evokes a wide range of responses from anyone associated with the global casino industry, as its annual gross gaming revenue has long since eclipsed that of the Las Vegas Strip and every other dominant market worldwide.


This year’s Summit agenda includes possibly our finest selection of keynote speeches to date, beginning on May 14 with an opening address from Paulo Martins Chan, the Director of the Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), who will share top level insight into how Macau is working toward long-term sustainability by focusing on improving quality rather than scale and using its existing integrated resort clusters to further develop the market’s non-gaming offerings.

Now in its 37th year, the Summit has changed quite extensively since it was first held in Monte Carlo in 1985, just a few short years after several Nevada

Te agenda also addresses relevant and timely issues like how operators, manufacturers and regulators are handling the rapid growth of e- Sports, how online gaming is adapting to new considerations like cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, and how operators and regional
