A read over ☕ / 🍺 depending on where you are in the world:
IMG is reshuffling its operations in the Asia-Pacific region, relocating from Singapore to Sydney under the joint guidance of Dale Levin and Matt Dwyer, SportBusiness can reveal.
At the 32nd Southeast Asian Games Opening Ceremony in Cambodia 2023, we unveiled a groundbreaking visual spectacle that left audiences in awe.
Picture this: under the moon, white clouds, soaring kites, blue sea, swaying palm trees, charming houses, joyful youngsters playing on the shore.
The video opens with what appears to be a typical large screen or transparent screen, but here’s the surprise: it’s not an ordinary screen!
These visuals are created entirely by Enjoygalaxy wireless lights!
30000 torches which are battery-powered, independently controlled, were strategically placed throughout the audience, creating an immersive and dynamic visual experience.
The Enjoygalaxy Lighting System does more than just create beautiful lighting atmospheres — it plays videos and tells stories.
Imagine seeing lifelike flying seagulls, blooming roses, seamlessly integrated into your event's narrative.
Our technology has redefined what’s possible in grand-scale events, especially opening ceremonies. By connecting tens of thousands of spectators, we transform them into a colossal wireless screen, delivering an unprecedented visual impact.
Wireless is freedom! Enjoygalaxy lights can be placed anywhere, such as on the seats of the audience, transforming the whole stadium into a screen. They can be placed on the infield, turning it into an LED floor. Of course, dancers can wear or hold them, adding lights to their performance. They can even be used for art installations. We once put wristbands on the metal frame of a 3-meter-high dog installation, making the dog change colors, blink, and smile in the darkness.
Of course, we can place the lights on mountains or water, transforming a hill and a sea into LED screens as well.
And this Galaxy screen can broadcast high-res, super-bright video at 30fps, with a 120-hour battery life.
The Enjoygalaxy Lighting System has already shone brightly at major events such as the Beijing Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony, Hangzhou Asian Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies and many other large scale events.
More and more AV companies, production companies, and creative directors are using Enjoygalaxy to realize their wildest creative visions, taking their events to extraordinary heights.
🎥 Witness the magic in the video!

A group of veteran gaming operators took to the stage at the ASEAN Gaming Summit 2024 in Manila to give their opinions on the growth outlook of the Philippines.
There was no doubt among the esteemed panel that the Philippines continues to show strong growth, but much of it will likely come from outside of Metro Manila. The expansion of Clark and upcoming projects in Cebu will likely cement the country’s position as an IR hub to be reckoned with. In total, the experts agreed that at least five to six more integrated resorts will open in the next years, making the country a very attractive gaming destination.

The expansion of Marina Bay Sands, with its ambitious plans and projections, is a significant development for Singapore’s economy and the gaming industry. Here are some thoughts and concerns:
Positive Aspects:
1. Economic Growth and Job Creation:
• The construction and eventual operation of the new tower will create numerous job opportunities.
• Increased tourism and visitor spending will boost local businesses and the overall economy.
2. Enhanced Tourist Attractions:
• The addition of a 15,000-seat live entertainment arena, new restaurants, and 600 more hotel rooms will make Marina Bay Sands even more attractive to both local and international tourists.
• Hosting high-profile concerts from global stars like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars will draw significant crowds and elevate Singapore’s status as a premier entertainment destination.
3. Revenue Surge:
• The projected increase in gambling revenue to potentially US$10 billion highlights strong market demand and growth potential.
• The first-quarter revenue increase of 37% to US$1.16 billion indicates robust current performance, setting a positive trend for future growth.
Concerns:
1. Market Saturation:
• With significant investments in new facilities, there is a risk of market saturation, especially considering competition from Genting Singapore.
• Effective market differentiation and maintaining high-quality service will be crucial to sustain growth and attract visitors.
2. Social Impacts:
• The expansion of gambling facilities can lead to higher incidences of gambling addiction and related social issues.
• Implementing strong responsible gambling measures and providing support for those affected by gambling addiction will be essential.
3. Environmental Impact:
• Large-scale construction projects can have significant environmental consequences, including increased carbon footprint and ecological disruption.
• Adopting sustainable building practices and minimising environmental impacts should be a priority.
4. Long-Term Viability:
• The success of the expansion will depend on sustained demand and the ability to attract high-profile events consistently.
• Economic fluctuations and changes in consumer behaviour could impact long-term profitability.
Overall, the Marina Bay Sands expansion presents a promising opportunity for economic and cultural growth in Singapore. However, careful management of market dynamics, social implications, and environmental impact will be critical to ensuring its success and sustainability.
Czechia has been among the key European game industry hotspots since the mid-1990s/early 2000s, especially when it comes to PC games. Therefore, it is not a surprise that Game Developer Sessions (GDS) is among the oldest, if the oldest, continuously running professional game industry conferences in Europe.
Nowadays, Czechia has more than 150 studios and over 2500 employees. Since 2019, the Czech game industry has almost tripled the industry turnover from around EUR 100M to nearly EUR 300M during the last five years. With over 80 studios and more than 1500 employees, Prague is one of Europe's most important game industry hubs. With 30 studios and more than 600 workers, Brno, the second biggest hub in the country, is strategically placed just 2 hours drive away from both the Prague and the Vienna/Bratislava hubs.
Czechia has talent and a solid business base. It has well-established professional game education institutions on both game technology and game arts. However, it lacks dedicated game industry public support instruments, boosting the growth of the local game industry ecosystem among the game industry leaders in the continent. Luckily, the city of Prague has already started to invest more in early-stage start-up support.
Like in many other European countries, the Czech game industry is among the most international in the country. Around 39% of the industry workforce has relocated to the country from abroad. Prague is already one of the most attractive European tourist locations; perhaps one day, it will also be known for a buzzing international game developer community, just like Berlin or Barcelona.
Pavel Barák, thanks for the great times at Game Developers Session (GDS) and in Prague!
Thailand Entertainment Complex with Legalized Casinos: 5 Potential Global Gaming Contenders
[bassPanya] THAILAND Business Insights Series
As Thailand considers legalizing casinos, the race to develop a premier entertainment complex is intensifying. Major international gaming companies from Las Vegas, Macau, and Singapore are likely to be key players, drawn by Thailand's strong tourism and domestic demand.
Local business leaders with experience in real estate and hospitality may also seek partnerships with these global operators, aiming to create entertainment destinations that blend Thai culture with international standards.
The competition will be fierce, and the outcomes could significantly shape Thailand's future as a global entertainment and tourism hub.
Drafting the Integrated Entertainment Complex Business Act: Key Legislative Highlights
