Sociedade de lotarias e Apostas Mutuas de Macau, Lda (SLOT) was founded in 1989 and was the first government-franchised company to offer the sale of instant lottery tickets on board the ferries running between Hong Kong and Macau. In 1998, prior to the World Cup, SLOT was granted the franchise from the Macau Government to offer soccer betting. This was followed by a government-franchise for basketball betting in December 2000. Thus, SLOT became the first government-franchised company in Asia to operate a sports betting business.

“We are glad to participate in IAG’s Macau After Dark event again,” said Macau Slot CEO, Mr Stephen Ho. “The event provides us a perfect platform for updated industry news sharing, which drives our business to another service level. I am looking forward to meeting all our friends in the field and cheering for a delightful evening.”
Debuting in early 2019, MAD is a regular series of industry networking social events held in the Asian gaming hubs of Macau and Manila. Each MAD brings together key industry decision-makers with the people they want to meet in a relaxed and friendly environment. The event rotates around the region’s best hospitality venues – some well-known and some hidden gems.
Due to its enormous popularity, MAD is strictly by invitation only. Invited guests must RSVP and be confirmed by having an event entry ticket on their phones. All guests must supply their business cards upon arrival. There is also a select VIP list for each event.
