Good Morning. Asian gaming manufacturers are increasingly looking at mature markets such as the United States and Europe, aiming to up their compliance, notes BMM Testlabs. The group indicates that companies are increasingly seeking out services – both for land-based and online gaming operations, as they aim to appease regulators. In the Philippines, Shin Hwa is giving up on its aspirations for its own IR, for now, as it loses its provisional gaming license. Meanwhile, the nation’s Commission of Audit has been given the go-ahead to review POGOs’ gross gaming receipts, as PAGCOR hasn’t hired a new independent auditor.
