(Australia, exclusive Yogonet.com).- Kirk White, BMM Testlabs EVP & GM, Australia Asia-Pacific, granted an interview to Yogonet.com about the firm’s performance at the recent AGE show, held in Sydney. “New Cabinets, exciting new game themes and improved graphics all point to a very positive year ahead,” said White.

Did you meet your expectations at AGE?
The AGE show met our expectations in all regards. All key industry stakeholders - regulators, manufacturers and operators - were at the show. This allowed BMM’s staff various opportunities to listen to stakeholder objectives and plans for the next 6-12 months. BMM’s local knowledge and expertise in technical compliance is critical to all industry stakeholders and it's great that we can provide this over the three days of the show.

What comments do you have about the show?
The show was very well attended and supported by both suppliers and attendees. BMM had a number of enquiries for technical compliance guidance on innovative products and from potential customers looking to enter or expand their products into the various Australian markets.

How was public’s response?
The public seemed to arrive with expectations of seeing new gaming products and innovations. From the comments we received, they were not disappointed in what was being shown. New Cabinets, exciting new game themes and improved graphics all point to a very positive year ahead.

What was the highlight of the AGE show?
This is the premiere show for the Australian Gaming Industry. BMM had tested and completed the compliance evaluations on a large component of the gaming products on display at the exhibition and we received positive comments from the gaming manufacturers on those efforts. This meant our clients had gaming products that could be shown and sold during the exhibition.

What are your future plans for this region?
BMM will continue to offer its high quality testing and certification services to all manufacturers and suppliers of gaming technology and game developers throughout the APAC Region. We are always looking to expand our capacity and capability in the region to meet the ongoing increase in demand for our testing services.

What trends did you see?
Gaming Product innovation is significantly improving the total gaming experience. We expect to see even more innovation over the next 12 months.
