Leading gambling law and regulation conference Regulating the Game (RTG) has announced Angel smart tables as the next innovation selected to appear at Pitch! – one of the key networking events at Regulating the Game 2026 in Sydney in March.
Pitch! is described as a high-energy showcase of bold ideas and practical solutions shaping the future of gambling, gaming and wagering. It will take place at the Sydney Opera House on the evening of 9 March 2026.
Pitch! @RTG is designed to surface technology that can genuinely shift regulatory outcomes – innovations that respond to real-world challenges, strengthen integrity and deliver the capability uplift regulators and operators are seeking.
According to organizers, Angel’s Smart Tables exemplify that purpose.
It notes that, while poker (slot) machines have long provided operators with rich, accurate behavioral and transactional data to support safer gambling, player protection and regulatory compliance, table games by contrast have been trapped in a legacy model – reliant on dealer observations, manual recording and subjective assessments.
Angel’s hybrid smart table technology solves this issue by using video-assisted artificial intelligence to generate granular, accurate, player-level data across table games. The system captures, in real time, buy-ins, betting patterns and stake sizes across all tables and all betting sessions, time on table, win/loss and turnover, and full historical play patterns for individual patrons
For the first time, operators have access to reliable, auditable data from table games – data capable of supporting meaningful harm minimization, accurate player assessment, informed interventions and stronger regulatory compliance.
As regularly reported by IAG, the technology is already deployed in Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia, with further installations underway in New Zealand and interest emerging from new gaming markets.
“Across Australia, regulatory expectations have shifted dramatically,” said Bryan Jenkins, Managing Director, Angel Australasia.
“The inquiries, independent monitoring and comprehensive remediation programs of recent years have made one thing absolutely clear: operators need accurate, verifiable table-game data. Traditional manual systems simply can’t meet the evidentiary standards now required under AML/CTF supervision or emerging harm-minimization frameworks.
“Angel Smart Tables represent a genuine step-change. For the first time, operators can provewhat is happening on their gaming floors rather than relying on inference or incomplete records. That level of precision is becoming essential in Australia’s environment, and it’s exactly why we’re seeing strong uptake of the technology.”
Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game, added, “Angel’s Smart Table technology speaks directly to the sector’s most pressing challenge – reliable data for player protection and regulatory assurance. Pitch! exists to bring forward practical innovations that strengthen integrity and capability across regulated environments. Angel’s solution is precisely the kind of transformational uplift the sector needs.”
