Business2 min read
RGB International has opened a showroom in Manila to support land-based and online gaming operators in the Philippines. The facility displays equipment from international suppliers and will serve as a local repair and spare-parts centre, the company said. RGB executive director Chuah Hui Jing said the company had secured accreditation as a B2B online gaming solutions provider in the country.
A new showroom in Manila is part of RGB International Bhd's push to expand its presence in the Philippine gaming market and services for land-based and online operators. The facility also houses local repair and spare-parts services intended to reduce downtime and improve technical support for casinos, according to the group.
The showroom displays slot machines from Light & Wonder, Konami Gaming and KL Saberi, as well as Light & Wonder table-game equipment and signage and table layouts made by RGB in Malaysia. It has Syntech signage and interactive demonstrations of online gaming content.
RGB has gained accreditation as a business-to-business online gaming solutions provider in the Philippines, executive director Chuah Hui Jing said. She said a strengthened partnership with Light & Wonder covers distribution of online content, including games from studios on its aggregation platform. RGB is also providing managed services for online brands through a partnership with an online gaming operator, whom she did not identify.
The new facility is intended to bolster customer support in the Philippines, RGB managing director Chuah Kim Seah said at the opening. He said the investment would generate local employment and reinforce RGB's long-term commitment to the Philippine market. Workshops, training and industry events are planned at the Manila facility in the coming months, said executive director Chuah Hui Jing.
PAGCOR senior vice president of land-based operations, licensing and regulatory group Daniel Cecilio attended the opening. Cecilio said the showroom could host training and gaming equipment demonstrations.
In 2024, the group won a contract worth just over US$81.3 million to supply PAGCOR with 1,968 electronic gaming machines from Light & Wonder, Aristocrat, Konami and KL Saberi. Major integrated resorts in Manila replaced an estimated 8% to 10% of their gaming machines annually, according to Chuah Hui Jing. More recently, RGB management projected that its Philippine digital gaming business would start contributing to earnings within one to two years.
