Xailient Inc., the world leader in privacy-safe computer vision AI, announced the debut of a groundbreaking biometric innovation in partnership with global gaming leader Konami Gaming Inc. At G2E Asia 2025, Konami will unveil SYNK Vision Tables, a new addition to its award-winning SYNKROS casino management system, powered by Xailient’s privacy-preserving facial recognition AI technology.

Attendees of G2E Asia 2025 will be among the first to experience SYNK Vision Tables in action, as Konami showcases the new technology at Booth #B1303 at The Venetian Expo in Macau. The solution delivers seamless player recognition, real-time rating and instant rewards—marking a transformational step in the convergence of biometric technology and gaming operations.

This latest innovation extends the success of SYNK Vision Slots to the live table games environment, providing casinos with a unified biometric ecosystem that automatically recognizes players as they sit down—without the need for loyalty cards. For players, the experience is frictionless, secure, and personalized. For operators, it offers powerful real-time insights, reduced fraud risk, and improved player engagement.

“SYNK Vision Tables represents a major leap forward in biometric player tracking. By combining Xailient’s real-time, privacy-safe AI face recognition with Konami’s SYNKROS system, we’re delivering next-generation capabilities that enhance the player experience while upholding the highest standards of privacy and data protection,”said Lars Oleson, CEO of Xailient.

Mallika Patel, VP of Product at Xailient, said: “Face Recognition AI provides triple benefit from a single technology. Responsible gaming, anti-money laundering, and patron loyalty programs all benefit from robust and reliable replacement to carded play.”

DigiPlus Interactive Corp, the Philippines’ leading digital entertainment company, has taken a step forward in its international growth strategy with the official incorporation of DigiPlus Global Pte Ltd in Singapore.

Fully owned by Diginvest Holdings Inc, a 100% subsidiary of DigiPlus Interactive, the newly established DigiPlus Global will serve as the company’s international hub—driving its global ambitions through strategic partnerships, talent acquisition and corporate support. The entity is formally registered under Singapore’s business activity classification for head and regional offices, acting as DigiPlus Interactive’s centralised administrative and management office.

While the Singapore entity will focus solely on regional support services, it will not operate any gaming platforms in Singapore, in full respect of the country’s regulatory framework.

“This is not just an expansion; it’s a foundational step in our growth strategy. By anchoring our international presence in Singapore—one of the world’s most advanced business ecosystems—we are accelerating DigiPlus’ transformation into a globally recognized force in digital entertainment,” said DigiPlus Interactive Chairman Eusebio Tanco.

The move enables DigiPlus to deepen its access to global expertise, strengthen cross-border collaboration and build high-value relationships in key markets. It will also accelerate the company’s ability to pioneer the next wave of digital entertainment innovations as it continues to grow its digital platforms—BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone—which already dominate the Philippine market.
