EGT is ready to fascinate visitors to SIGMA Asia 2024
EGT is ready for its second participation in SIGMA Asia, which will take place on 04 and 05 June in Manila. “Don’t miss the chance to learn more about our products. We will be waiting for you on booth D301,” said Mariana Manchina, sales manager for the Philippines at EGT.
Two Asian-themed jackpots will be the main highlights in the company’s display. Тhe 4-level Cai Fu Tian Jiang, which had its successful debut in the 2023 edition of the show, will once again be among the top proposals for Asian players who will be able to dive into the magical world of its 4 games Animal Riches, Expanded Riches, Incredible Lantern and Pearls of Wealth and enjoy numerous opportunities for winning and entertainment.
Sheng Sheng Bu Xi, which joined EGT’s jackpot family several months ago, will also be available to guests. It will invite them to embark on an exciting journey, where growth knows no bounds. Its 2 titles Bonus Craze and Bonus Boom will offer a captivating experience with special symbols, which trigger unique bonus features. In addition different colored symbols can unleash a jackpot combo, providing an extra layer of adventure to the gameplay.
The slot selection will be complemented by the G 50 J1 St and G 50 C Up cabinets, as well as the rich variety of the General Series multigames.
EGT will present its multiplayer developments as well. On display will be the G 32 T and G 27 T terminals, as well as the roulette center G RSA. All of them will stand out with their eye-catching contemporary design, multiple ergonomic features and great flexibility, ensuring an engaging gaming experience and allowing many possible configurations with other devices.
EGT Digital will also demonstrate its portfolio of iGaming solutions, including instant and casino games, as well as the in-house developed “all-in-one” betting platform X-Nave, which provides operators with a complete solution for building and maintaining a successful online business.
“I am happy that we have the opportunity to attend SIGMA Asia again,” commented Ms. Manchina. “Thanks to our participation in last year’s edition, we were able to create many new contacts and partnerships, and our products proved to hold great potential for the local markets. I have every reason to believe that we will have even more success this year, especially considering the fact that we opened our office in Manila. The Philippines is one of the fastest growing markets on the continent and I am confident that this, combined with our attractive offers, will enable us to quickly enter the region and gain traction among Asian operators and players.”

Compliance Updates
Balancing Regulations and Opportunities in 2025: Insights from SOFTSWISS
Growing regional fragmentation, the emergence of new legal frameworks, and the rising importance of sustainability and social responsibility are reshaping the regulatory landscape in the iGaming industry for 2025. Recognising the critical role regulation plays in the sector’s future, SOFTSWISS, a global tech expert with over 15 years of experience, has highlighted these trends in its latest report.
The SOFTSWISS team identifies the evolving regulatory environment as one of the key challenges and opportunities for operators and suppliers in the coming year. As global markets, including untapped regions, adopt stricter compliance measures, the ability to adapt and innovate within these frameworks is becoming a decisive factor for success.
The recent iGaming Trends 2025 Report from SOFTSWISS delves deeper into these transformations, exploring the impact of heightened regulation on industry dynamics. Key trends in the regulatory sphere include:
Regional Fragmentation:
During the research, industry experts were asked to rate the current legal environment in iGaming on a scale of 1 to 10. The average score was 6.1. While this indicates the environment is generally functional, it also suggests considerable room for improvement.
At the same time, compliance requirements are becoming increasingly fragmented, with countries implementing diverse rules regarding taxation, advertising, and player protection. To overcome this challenge, companies must demonstrate agility in adapting to localised demands effectively.
Emerging Markets:
As regions like Latin America, Asia, and Africa introduce formal regulatory structures, operators have unique opportunities to establish a foothold in these high-growth markets. However, navigating these emerging regulations will be essential for long-term success.
Max Trafimovich, CCO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “The key to identifying the right markets goes beyond upfront costs or immediate profitability. True capital lies in market knowledge, operational flexibility, and the ability to build meaningful partnerships. These are the assets that lead to sustainable growth and the most promising opportunities.”
Sustainability in Compliance:
Sustainability and social responsibility are becoming integral to regulation. Governments are focusing on ensuring fairness, preventing problem gambling, and increasing transparency in licensing.
This shift drives up operators’ costs and raises the bar for trust. Compliance is no longer just about meeting minimum standards; it is about building businesses that players, regulators, and investors can trust over the long term.
The iGaming Trends 2025 Report comprehensively analyses the industry’s most important directions for the year ahead. From the convergence of AI and cybersecurity to evolving marketing strategies and business development trends, the report is a must-read for anyone shaping the future of iGaming.
