Interblock Gaming Plans Aggressive APAC Expansion in 2026

Interblock Gaming, a specialist in electronic table games (ETGs), is capitalizing on strong regional interest as it outlines an ambitious expansion plan for the year ahead. Backed by an expanded product lineup and clearly scheduled release timelines, the company anticipates steady demand throughout the Asia Pacific region into 2026. Vice President of Sales for APAC, Vincent Tang, shared these insights during the recent Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia @ the Philippines 2025 in Manila, capping a year marked by solid performance and strategic diversification.

Tang described 2025 as a strong year for Interblock, with its portfolio resonating across operators. Looking ahead, he expects growth to accelerate further, driven by new product launches designed to meet a broad spectrum of market needs. Interest from operators across multiple jurisdictions positions the supplier to continue expanding in rapidly evolving casino environments.

Amuse Line Drives Growth

A key contributor to Interblock’s success has been the Amuse product family, which has carved out a niche in Asian casinos. Combining arcade-style interactive gameplay with RNG-based wagering, Amuse spans slots, traditional tables and electronic games, appealing to diverse player types. Tang highlighted the range’s popularity in key markets including Singapore and Vietnam, identifying it as a top performer.

Momentum has also been fueled by Interblock’s September acquisition of a majority stake in Zuum Ltd, a Slovenia-based manufacturer of ETGs, slots and bingo machines. The acquisition broadens Interblock’s portfolio with more cost-conscious offerings, enabling the company to target emerging markets such as Sri Lanka, Nepal and Indochina with equipment that balances performance, yield and maintenance efficiency.

Flexible Partnerships

Tang emphasized Interblock’s adaptable commercial model, customizing arrangements to fit operator needs whether through direct purchases or revenue-sharing agreements. This flexibility ensures product offerings align with local conditions and market demands, keeping the supplier competitive across the region.

Predictable Quarterly Releases

A structured roadmap underpins Interblock’s 2026 plans, providing operators with predictable access to innovations and allowing for precise floor-refresh planning. The Philippines emerges as a focal point, with new venues opening in 2026 and 2027, increasing demand for hardware.

The year begins with the Q1 launch of Free Fall Roulette, a high-energy pinball-drop variant designed to boost tension and replay value. This is followed by Roulette Xplosion, which pairs a traditional wheel with 3D projector visuals for enhanced immersion. Later, in Q2 or Q3, the Dragon Bonus Wheel from the Amuse series will debut regionally, introducing thematic gameplay elements.

Regulatory Advances

Interblock is also progressing with regulatory approvals, particularly for its dice recognition system in Roll To Win Craps. By integrating imaging, cameras and RFID technology, the system automates dice readings, improving speed and fairness. Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, remains central to these initiatives.

Looking Ahead

Tang projected a fast-paced 2026, with quarterly product releases sustaining momentum and leveraging Zuum’s efficiencies to offer high-tech solutions at competitive pricing. As operators expand and renovate across Asia Pacific, Interblock’s dual focus on innovation and accessibility positions it to capture demand across both premium hubs and emerging markets.
