THE way we pay for entertainment is changing. As new solutions are developed to meet evolving consumer preferences, the gaming and amusement industry must keep pace in order to remain as accessible as before.

This stronger pooling of expertise, backed by greater resources, is expected to deliver more advanced, targeted solutions to the marketplace.
