The new AI technology features over 1 million+ 3D assets for creators and the platform is on the road to working with potential upcoming AI partners.

At the event, YAHAHA Studios will showcase popular AI-generated content services as part of its features to make game creation and development easier and more efficient- creating a revolutionary turning point in the democratisation of 3D content creation.This feature is part of the YAHAHA product enhancement pipeline where creators can interact with new generative-AI-powered capabilities. The platform provides over  1M + 3D assets for users to create in their own space, which makes it a very valuable and impactful 3D game service platform.

The increasing integration of AI in various industries highlights the importance of incorporating this technology into products and services. As a community-driven platform, YAHAHA recognises the need to equip its users with the knowledge and tools to fully harness the potential of AI in their development efforts.

Chris Zhu from YAHAHA says “YAHAHA is revolutionising the future of game generation by empowering developers with our user-generated content platform. And now, with the integration of AI technology, we’re taking it to the next level, enabling users to create games smarter, faster, and more efficiently than ever before.”

“We believe that the integration of UGC and AIGC is a natural step forward for the gaming industry. As we move towards AIGC, we want to highlight why transitioning from UGC to AIGC is a natural and easy step. UGC was created to enable users to showcase their creativity without being hampered by the lack of knowledge in programming. AIGC allows natural language to be used to continue this focus of enabling creativity without the need for programming knowledge.” said Zhu.

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.

On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.

In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.

As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.

Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.

A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.

“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
