Aruze Gaming Global said Tuesday that it has been granted new gaming licenses to operate in six jurisdictions globally, including in Macau and the Philippines.
In a statement, the company revealed that it has now met the licensing requirements of the Macau gaming regulator, the DICJ, and Philippines regulator PAGCOR, as well as in two US states, specifically Pennsylvania and Virginia, and in Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. “Dozens more” are in process, the company added.
Aruze also said it is currently establishing offices and distributorships in Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Netherlands as it looks to further extend its international reach. The company, it said, has now been granted licenses for over 160 gaming jurisdictions world-wide, up from just 76 licenses in August of 2023.
“The timing could not be better for the new gaming licenses,” said Aruze’s Global Chief Operating Officer, Kelcey Allison.
“Coupled with the recent release of several new titles that are performing at two to three times house average – thus giving us some amazing new content for our existing and newly accessible markets.
Betty Zhao, Senior Vice President of International Operations, added, “Our explosive growth and high-performing new content is fueling a lot of excitement with our new customers.”
Aruze Gaming Global is a reimagining of the former Aruze Gaming America, formed after US gaming technology firm Empire Technological Group Limited acquired the company’s slot operations, including land-based and online gaming assets, in July 2023.
Aruze Gaming America’s electronic table games assets were later acquired by Interblock.
