Leading industry supplier Light & Wonder is hosting a special Showcase of its latest games, cabinets and systems as part of IAG’s Super September celebrations this week at Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts.
Located in Meeting Room 1B just outside of The Ballroom at Hilton Manila, where the IAG Academy Summit is being held, the Light & Wonder Showcase provides customers an opportunity to see the company’s latest and greatest offerings while the broader Asian gaming industry is in town.
It also serves as a preview to the inaugural IAG EXPO, taking place at Newport World Resorts from 8 to 10 September 2025 and comprising the land-based IAG Exhibition plus the IAG Academy Summit, IR Academy Awards and Manila After Dark welcome drinks.
“We decided to do a showcase because it’s a great opportunity while there are so many customers here, particularly Philippines customers, to display our latest machines and systems information,” said Ken Jolly, Vice President and Managing Director – Asia for Light & Wonder.
“We are the only manufacturer with a showcase at the IAG Academy Summit this year, which is a prelude to the debut of the IAG EXPO here in Manila in 2025.”
Among the games being displayed at the Light & Wonder Showcase this week are Dragon Trio, which is already attracting strong interest since its recent release into the local Philippine market, the VIP-focused Dragon Spin Cross Link and the latest iteration of the globally popular Huff N’ Puff series of games titled “Huff N’ Even More Puff”.
The company is also highlighting its Jewel of the Dragon family, which is expected to be released into the Philippines in the coming months.
“We are very confident that the mathematics of Jewel of the Dragon are suited to the Asian market and we are expecting very good results out of that,” Jolly said.
Light & Wonder’s new Kascada Slant cabinet and its systems offering round out the products on display this week.
Jolly said it was important that Light & Wonder take the opportunity to showcase its latest products in 2024 given the role the IAG EXPO will play from next year onwards.
“As the Philippines has now become the biggest market for vendors in Asia, it makes sense to have a Philippines exhibition for the land-based industry,” he said. “One in Macau and one in the Philippines each year allows us to reach customers in the two biggest markets in Asia.”
