ASEAN 2022 – FINDINGS
Technology to drive meaningful customer interaction on the floor
The drive to implement new technologies alongside Big data management will provide for more meaningful human interaction between the Casino IR property staff and an empowered customer, industry stakeholders at ASEAN 2022 shared. The discussion panel included insights from global manufacturers Light & Wonder – Ken Jolly and Aristocrat – Lloyd Robson, Data and Marketing provider TraffGen Global – Andy Caras-Altas, gaming retail operator GMJ – Takeki Furukubo, and was moderated by industry insider Tim Shepherd at Fortuna. The ability to connect the IR customers to out-of-property assets and the integration of innovative and potentially disruptive technology to the gaming floor were some of the topics debated. The metaverse also made an appearance, as the perfect extension for an IR, at some point down the track.
