New gaming development head announced for Weike

08.14.2008 | 8:17 am | News, gambling

Singapore’s largest licensed gaming manufacturer, Weike Gaming Technology, today announced the appointment of Andrew Mason as the new Head of Gaming Development. Weike Gaming Technology is not only the largest gaming manufacturer in Singapore, but the only manufacturer of gambling machines, electronic gaming tables and online gambling software in Malaysia and Singapore.

he new appointment should lead to a prosperous career for Mason, as well as a widening of the Asian gambling market through the Westernisation that Mason can offer the company. Mason is also highly qualified, having graduated with a Bachelor in Science with a major in Mathematics, and with several years of work experience as Game Design Manager at Stargames, the Australian slot machine corporation. It is rumoured within the industry that he has been personally responsible for the enormous success Stargames have experienced in the past few years.

This experience and intelligence will certainly set Weike in good stead to expand out of the Asian market across the world – perhaps enhancing the gaming experience of many gamblers across the world, particularly in the online field. This is due to the planned expansion of Weike into the online market, with their current knowledge of the casino market behind them. This will also help to expand the company from the Asian market.

Mason is equally as optimistic for the future of the company, saying that “I am ecstatic to join Weike, and moving to Singapore is one of my boldest career moves to date. I strongly believe in living Asia, breathing Asia and understanding Asians, and this is particularly vital for designing games meant for Asian markets”. It seems that the new partnership will be of equal value to both the enterprising Mason and the rapidly expanding company – heralding new and exciting developments both in the online market and the regular casino industry.
