After the last two years in which forced changes had to be made. How has been the production process of this new edition and what expectations do you have?

As everyone knows, we had almost two years without being able to present the Peru Gaming Show due to the pandemic. Last year, we made the decision that we had to do something to try and bring the industry together and we took the risk of putting on a show in December. Of course, everything was taking into account the health protocol that the government had. The show was a tremendous success. We had better results than we had even thought and before the end, they were already asking us about the details of this show. For this 19th edition, we will do the same as always to make sure that we present a very professional show that addresses the needs of the market. We will take all the measures required by the government to take into account the health of all those present, but we will wait to see what they ask for closer to the date as that can change any day.

We always work in a very professional manner taking into account the needs of the market. In that aspect, the truth is that we have not changed anything in the production process.

What will be the highlights?

Knowing that online gaming and sports betting have become a huge market, we have made sure to have experts in these areas to inform our public (the operators) on the regulations, process and products available for the Peruvian market. We've also made sure to have presentations on payment system alternatives, as that market is also going through a lot of changes globally.

Our expectations for this show are very high. The response we have received from the market has given us all the confidence to hope that it will be the best show we have had to date.

The conferences highlight topics related to online gaming and sports betting, among others. How was the process of choosing these topics?

Yes, we have presentations on all those topics and others. We have made sure that they are people with a lot of experience and success in those areas, willing to pass that information on to the Peruvian market. We have presentations that will be made based on what the experts think is important for the market and they need to hear, but we also have round tables, giving the public the opportunity to ask whatever they want.

Companies once again trust and choose PGS as one of the most important events in Latin America. Have you talked to your representatives about their expectations for this 2022 edition?

Yes, of course, as I said before, we have very high expectations and we are all committed to doing what has to be done to guarantee that result.

Who will be the most prominent exhibitors? Which companies will make their PGS debut?

As always, we have the support of companies like Merkur, Novomatic, IGT, Ainsworth, Aruze, DLV, CT Gaming, Konami, Winsystem, Aristocrat, Betconstruct, Interblock, Golden Race, and bulls. In debut we have companies like Pragmatic Play, Spintec, EGT Interactive, American Simulcasting, Sportbet Peru, Digital Sport Bet, Timerbet, Betgol. But there are others who have been before and also others making their debut.

The bill that regulates online sports betting in Peru continues to advance. How do you think the law influences the future of the sector?

Yes, that project continues to advance and we are very hopeful that perhaps we can have something this year. We have the presentation of the new director of MINCETUR who will open the conference and surely he will have a few words on that subject. Obviously, when the final law comes out, it will have a tremendous impact on this sector that is thought to be a large market, not only in Peru but also in all of Latin America.
