SUGAR POP 2 (BETSOFT)
SUGAR POP 2 (BETSOFT)
Central to the Sugar Pop 2 experience is Betsoft’s proprietary ‘Trail System,’ which allows players to collect symbols during base or bonus games, with every symbol gathered moving them closer towards a goal. In Sugar Pop 2, that system was used to redesign the level-up mechanic, allowing players to collect special candies – including new additions like the Morphing Golden Wild, Jelly Bean Cannon, and Sweet Hammer – which completely change the playing field. And unlike previous games, Sugar Pop 2 has no level cap; an infinite progression system means that each player’s journey is entirely unique.
At the same time, Sugar Pop 2 also aims for the clouds when it comes to audio-visual excellence. Special candies gathered by levelling up now make a grand entrance, breaking out of a giant chocolate egg, while animations have been redrawn across the board to accentuate the impact of cluster pays and other core features. And thanks to Betsoft’s in-house Shift™ development platform, all of this comes with no compromises to accessibility or performance – on any device.
More than just a sequel, Sugar Pop 2 serves as a model for how slots providers can reinvent established properties to deliver entirely new opportunities to operators and players alike.

SANDS CHINA
SANDS CHINA
Sands China is honoured to be considered among the nominees for the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Contribution award in the G2E Asia Awards 2018.
We believe that being a responsible corporate citizen comprises many facets, such as volunteering, sustainable operations, and offering financial support to the community, among many others.
Our CSR initiatives include the Sands Cares Ambassador volunteering programme, the Sands China Community Academy, charitable contributions, scholarships and fellowships, support of the arts and cultural development, responsible gaming, environmentally sustainable operations, talent development, and disaster relief.
Sands China considers corporate social responsibility to be a critical component of how we operate our business, and it lies at the heart of our corporate culture of service – which encourages the shared cultural values of friendliness, professionalism, active listening and teamwork.
These qualities, when internalised, find expression not only in team members’ daily interactions with guests and with each other, but extend outside the workplace as well – for example, in the volunteering work offered by team members, whether on their own initiative or through our Sands Cares programme.
As an example, one such volunteer shared how she has found that people in need sometimes simply want a friendly, listening ear – someone to express their needs to. She explains that volunteering has taught her that through listening attentively, we can learn how best to support, help and encourage one another.
Examples like this showcase some of the best qualities of the human spirit, and demonstrate our capacity for service – helping us make a difference in our communities and in the lives of the people we interact with.
We hope our team members are inspired to value service in all aspects of their lives, by the example set by the company, and by the examples they set for each other.
