The Sales and Marketing segment revenues jumped 367 percent, to RM69 million ($15.0 million), with profit up 345 percent to RM10.4 million (US$2.3 million), mainly due to an increase in number of products sold, the company stated.

RGB International mentions in the quarterly results that the tourism and hospitality industries are “expected to continue recovering”, aided by the increase in international travellers, especially in the regions where the Group operates.
“Based on the favorable market outlook, the Group expects to perform better in financial year ending 31 December 2023, backup by the strong orders secured to date, despite facing inflationary pressure on its operating costs,” notes the company.
Hong Kong-listed International Entertainment, a gaming and hotel operator in the Philippines, recently announced that it is purchasing a further 382 slot machines from RGB for some $5.73 million, to be placed in its New Coast Hotel Manila property.
