World Gaming Group (WGG) – the parent company of WGM Daily – and B2B gaming industry publication Inside Asian Gaming (IAG) have announced the signing of an agreement for WGG to acquire Must Read Publications, publisher of IAG.
The agreement means that, alongside gaming consumer magazine WGM, the two gaming industry publications will now come under the WGG banner.
Mr Kareem Jalal, Founder and Editor of IAG, said “IAG has come a long way over the past 10 years, growing alongside the industry it has steadfastly covered. Now, as Asia’s gaming industry stands on the verge of its next phase of transformational change – from Cotai and Manila Bay to Incheon and Russia’s Primorye gambling zone – it’s time to take things up a notch. With its energy, resources and commitment to the region, WGG offers the ideal support to make that happen.
“It’s a natural and complementary fit. Bringing our companies together creates several opportunities for taking not just IAG, but also WGG’s various other brands even further.”
WGG CEO Andrew W Scott said “Since we founded World Gaming Magazine – since rebranded WGM – back in 2009, we wanted to establish Macau’s leading gaming consumer magazine. We’ve long admired the way Kareem has built IAG into Asia’s leading gaming B2B magazine. It only seemed natural to bring the two together under the same parent company. This will benefit the industry and the players and demonstrates WGG’s long term commitment to the Asian gaming industry.”
vProperty rebrands as gohome.com.mo
iProperty Group and Macau property portal vProperty.com yesterday announced the change of the brand’s name to GoHome.com.mo.
This rebrand program signifies that the company is entering a new stage. With the merge into Hong Kong property portal GoHome.com.hk, the company hopes to establish GoHome as the leading property portal across Hong Kong and Macau.
Over the past 10 years, Macau has been growing at a significant speed.
Investment in the Cotai Strip has reached 150 billion, driving economic growth in the property sector. Likewise in Macau’s neighborhood, Hengqin Island in Zhuhai is developing, leading to promising property market prospects. With the gradual integration of the two regions, there is a need for an integrated property portal for Macau and Zhuhai with comprehensive market information.
The rebranded GoHome.com.mo provides one-stop information with the latest market updates for Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, serving as a platform to offer homebuyers and investors property searches, information and trends. It is also an online platform for property agents to promote their properties.
