How do you say “ka ching!” in Cantonese?

PacificNet Inc., a provider of Customer Relationship Management, mobile internet, e-commerce and gaming technology in China, announced today that its PacificNet Games Limited (PacGames) subsidiary has received orders from two more casinos in Macau, China for multi-player electronic gaming machines.

Interestingly enough, PacificNet chairman / CEO Tony Tong commented on not being able to comment about the terms of the deal: “Although we cannot divulge the specifics on these sales due to the highly competitive current market in Macau, we do want to convey our rapid progress in the Macau gaming market to our shareholders and the gaming world."

Alongside the announcement, PacificNet publicists made note of recent Reuters reports on the popularity of multiplayer gaming machines in Macau, with the trend reportedly away from traditional, individual terminal games towards multi-player, shared experience games. Said Merrill Lynch analyst David Anders to Reuters India: "A powerful and developing trend over the next two years will be the movement toward multi-station, communal play gaming devices.”

Beijing- and Hong Kong-headquartered PacificNet Inc. is an investor in and operator of companies that provide outsourcing, e-commerce, and value-added services in China, such as call centers, telemarketing, direct response television marketing, CRM, interactive voice response, mobile applications, and communications product distribution services.
