GGE Asia sells out

April 3, 2007

The organizing companies of Global Gaming Expo (GGE) Asia just announced that this year’s first event has sold out. Even with a major increase in floor space from the initial plan, the event has sold out. This is no doubt due to the ever growing gambling industry in Macau.  This is the first year the Expo is taking place and we expect to here great things coming from it.

The GGE Asia will showcase some of the world's foremost gaming companies and developers such as IGT Asia, Aristocrat Technologies, Bally Technologies, Konami Australia, Shuffle Master, Elixir Group and obviously many more. GGE Asia 2007 will be hosted from June 13th through14th at Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre in Macau.

Partaking in GGE Asia 2007 by gambling suppliers, developers and manufacturers from all over the planet says that both the significant business opportunities arising in the increasing Asian gambling markets and the leading caliber of the GGE events is a great success.

The incredible interest in GGE Asia from gambling and gaming companies is a testament to the value this market now holds.

As many of our online gambling news article readers have been learning over the past years or so, is that this is one market that is taking over. It is being reported that soon we swill see a report fro earning that compares Vegas to Macau and Macau will have earned more this year.

By this event selling out, we see the vast migration of many US company’s to start companies in Macau as well.

You have to understand that while Macau is obviously appealing to the millions of Asian gambling fans, it is a relatively small area. Macau continues to enjoy an extraordinary explosion with heavy investment in gambling. According to the Statistics and Census Bureau of Macau, foreign direct investment to Macau totaled a round 3.3 billion (US) in the year 2005 – that was an increase of nearly forty percent over the prior year to that.

As the hub of the massive growth of the gambling industry in Asia, Macau provides an superlative setting for the inaugural GGE Asia, which will create a unique business forum in which global gaming equipment suppliers and service providers will be able to showcase their latest products, technologies and solutions in front of key decision-makers from leading casino operating companies.

Bally Technologies is confident in supporting the inaugural GGE Asia. It certainly recognizes the growth that is taking place in the Asian gaming markets and wants to guarantee that it capitalizes on all of the opportunities available there, both now and in the future. We are certain of that. The company states that along with its own Bally initiatives, an additional way for the company to take benefit of growth in Asia is by participating in GGE Asia.

GGE Asia visitors also will have the opportunity to participate in elite, behind the scenes property tours at Wynn Macau and the Venetian Macau. The casino resort tours will give visitors of the Expo the chance to see these two premier casino resort properties in depth.

GGE Asia is jointly organized by the American Gaming Association and Reed Exhibitions as part of the GGE selection of events such as the one that takes place each year in Las Vegas. We will see what happens.

We know from Vegas GGE experience that this event in Asia will be innovative and full of useful gambling information and many deals will be struck between casinos and developers of gaming devices and gambling software and much more.
