BWF AND OFFICIAL BETTING PARTNER, M88 MANSION, IN JAPAN FOR THE FIRST TIME
BWF, together with major sponsor M88 Mansion, will be holding the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2022 in Japan on August 22-28.
This is the first time the east Asian country will host the competition, and the fifth Asian nation to do so. Matches will be played at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
Over 300 competitors from more than 40 countries will slug it out to emerge as the best in five events, with the host and last year’s overall winner taking the lead.
Reigning champions for each category are: Loh Kean Yew of Singapore (men’s singles), Yamaguchi Akane of Japan (women’s singles), Hoki Takurō and Kobayashi Yūgo of Japan (men’s doubles), Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan of China (women’s doubles), as well as Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand (mixed doubles).
The draw was held on August 10 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, producing interesting brackets.
Men’s singles world number one Viktor Axelsen is set on a collision course with fellow Dane Rasmus Gemke in the quarter-finals, while Indonesians Jonatan Christie and Anthony Ginting are also both on the top half of the bracket and could possibly meet in the semis.
Over in women’s singles, top seed Yamaguchi and 14th-ranked Takahashi Sayaka can tentatively clash on the third round, with An Se-young of South Korea and PV Sindhu of India as probable semi-final round opponents.
Hoki and Kobayashi journey back to the top have them starting in the bottom half of the bracket, with the more thrilling matchups found in the upper half of the draw. Chen and Jia also averted some early tough challenges in their section.
Finally, Puavaranukroh and Taerattanachai could feasibly contend against two Japanese pairs en route to the final.
The BWF World Championships follow the single elimination knockout format.
As part of the partnership between M88 Mansion and BWF, updates and highlights will be provided on the M88 Mansion-BWF website and social media accounts before, during, and after the event. A top BWF player will also be featured and interviewed.
First organized in 1977, the tourney has been held annually, except for Summer Olympic years, since 2005. It was last staged in 2021 in Huelva, Spain.

Spintec Introduces New Baccarat Side Bets at G2E Asia
Spintec has successfully participated at this year’s G2E Asia. This year, Spintec’s focus was on innovation tailored for the Asian market. Their super popular Baccarat game was introduced with no less than eight side bets this year. The existing Lucky 6 was accompanied by Big and Small Lucky 6, Lucky 7, Big and Small Lucky 7, and Super Lucky 7. Their solution also features the latest side bets, recently approved in Macau: Pairs+, Monkey/No monkey, and 4/5/6 cards.
They also showed their flagship game Galactic Spin, which has received an extremely interesting upgrade this year. Spintec introduced a release which integrates no less than three roulette games: a classic version, a version with multipliers and Galactic Spin with free spins. All three are available to the player to choose from, but the choice is rarely simple as they are all extremely immersive and fun.
To support this dynamic playing environment, Spintec also premiered their MultiView game platform. It allows players to seamlessly display and participate in up to four different games simultaneously on a single screen, with the option to expand any game to full screen directly from the split view. Dipping in and out of different games has never been so simple and intuitive. A built-in lobby allows players to browse and filter available games by type and choose the one they like best. The MultiView platform currently supports roulette and baccarat, with other games coming soon. As a special mode of operation, the platform also features a fast-switching game functionality, specifically developed for multi-table baccarat.
Eye shaped roulette and dice had a debut in Asia at G2E and garnered a lot of attention. It accommodates up to 12 players engaging in three different games simultaneously: roulette, Sic Bo and craps. It delivers an exceptionally rich gameplay through a wide range of betting options. In this special edition it also featured Spintec’s flagship game Galactic Spin and Dragons Jackpot, the amazing three-level progressive jackpot.
The visitors at G2E Asia also had an opportunity to experience first-hand what Spintec’s dedicated tournament experience can do. Its player-focused design serves a single purpose: to keep players engaged for longer while sustaining the excitement and competitive spirit that tournaments are known for. It features a LED wall showcasing dynamic content for both players and spectators, presenting live information across individual roulette and baccarat games while supporting live, automated and virtual formats. Game graphics are tailored specially for LED walls, including a reimagined implementation for baccarat. The entire setup was extremely well received at the G2E, as these types of gaming experiences are becoming more and more popular across the globe.
