IGT secures Macau approval for three slot titles on October 30

IGT gained regulatory approval in Macau for three slot-game versions on 30 October 2026. The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau listed approvals for “Treasure Blast Balloon”, “San Xing Gao Zhao – Fu Qi Chong Tian” and “Magic Rockets Tiger” under IGT Asia – Macau Ltd; the notice says all three versions meet Macau’s technical standard for electronic gaming machines and that two also meet the city’s jackpot-system standard.

Approved titles and standards

The three titles approved on 30 October 2026 are:

• Treasure Blast Balloon (version for the RISE55 cabinet)

• San Xing Gao Zhao – Fu Qi Chong Tian (version compliant with jackpot-system standard)

• Magic Rockets Tiger (version compliant with jackpot-system standard)

The approvals permit those specified versions to be supplied in the Macau market. The regulator’s notice states the versions comply with Macau’s technical standard for electronic gaming machines, and that the San Xing Gao Zhao – Fu Qi Chong Tian and Magic Rockets Tiger versions also comply with the city’s jackpot-system standard.

Product detail and lineage

Magic Rockets Tiger is listed by IGT as one of two themes in its “Magic Rockets” series for the RISE55 cabinet, the other being a “Dragon” version. IGT says the Magic Rockets series combines the three-pot feature from its “Magic Treasures” games with elements of the “Rising Rockets” series.

Treasure Blast Balloon is a portrait-screen video slot on the RISE55 and is described by IGT as inspired by Spielo’s “Zuma Slots”; it features a jackpot system with a persistence mechanic. The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau had already cleared a version of companion title “Treasure Blast Fleet” on 24 September 2026.

Recent approval run and company strategy

The October approvals followed five IGT game approvals in late September 2026, which included “Magic Treasures Gold Empress”, “Firework Link Enchanted Moon”, two other “San Xing Gao Zhao” themes and “Treasure Blast Fleet”. An earlier version of “Fu Qi Chong Tian” was listed as approved on 30 January 2026; the October notice covers a newer version.

IGT presented the San Xing Gao Zhao Link family at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia trade show in Macau in May 2026, where it was shown on the PeakCurve49 cabinet. In a May interview with GGRAsia, IGT chief executive Hector Fernandez identified Asia as a key growth opportunity and said the supplier was focusing on a smaller number of titles with strong commercial potential rather than a broad portfolio.

There has been no public announcement of installation dates or the number of machines that might be deployed in Macau.
