Sportech delivered its Quantum™ System – the world's most widely deployed pari-mutuel betting system – along with new BetJet® Aero™ teller-operated betting terminals and new BetJet® SL 2.5 self-service betting terminals. MJC also received a new betting website with Sportech's G4 digital framework, the first implementation of G4 in Asia.

The full suite of new technologies and services from Sportech will help to transform the way Macau Jockey Club delivers racing and betting entertainment to their customers. Quantum™ System offers Macau Jockey Club a significantly expanded list of pools and bet types, and opens the door to seamless direct commingling with international betting partners including Hong Kong Jockey Club. The BetJet® Aero™ makes teller transactions faster and more accurate and the BetJet® SL 2.5 offers convenient self-service betting with cash, accounts, and vouchers. The G4 betting website further extends Macau Jockey Club's offerings to customers when not at the racetrack. Thomas Li, Macau Jockey Club Chief Executive and Executive Director, commented, "Today marks the beginning of a very meaningful venture and partnership between Sportech and Macau Jockey Club. With the dynamic Quantum System, MJC is better positioned with opportunities to reach out to more racing enthusiasts and customers in the coming years." With this expansion of Sportech's customer base in Asia – building on new accounts recently secured in Malaysia and Vietnam – the company also announces that it is supplementing its current sales office in Singapore with a new operations center to be opened in Q4 2016. Heading up the new Sportech Oerations Center Asia will be Lance Ku, an experienced operations professional formerly based in the USA who has been with Sportech Racing // Digital for 19 years.
