Rubén Solórzano, the General Manager of Affiliated Marketing Group and a key organizer of the Peru Gaming Show (PGS), recently shared exciting details about the upcoming event scheduled for June 17-18 at the Jockey Exhibition Center in Lima.
In a recent interview with Yogonet, Solórzano highlighted that PGS has consistently aimed to bring together the gaming community through a dynamic combination of an exhibition floor, academic sessions, and networking opportunities.
He also mentioned that representatives from various Peruvian industry associations, along with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur), will participate in this remarkable program.
As we approach PGS 2026, what can attendees expect from this premier gathering of the gaming sector in Lima?
Our motto, "The most anticipated trade show," resonates with those who have attended PGS, even if just once. Expectations are grounded in a genuine experience that includes exhibitors, conferences, and networking that foster an innovative atmosphere filled with cutting-edge technology.
Each year, we aim to raise the bar, and we believe this year will be no different.
PGS 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment as Peru's online gaming market benefits from a more robust regulatory framework yielding positive outcomes. What can participants look forward to in terms of iGaming?
Peru boasts a well-established market encompassing all gaming sectors. The approval of Law 27,153 in 1999 marked the regulation of casino games and slot machines, setting a precedent in the region. Subsequently, Law 31,557 was enacted in 2022 to regulate online gaming and remote sports betting.
These legislative advancements have transformed Peru into a secure and appealing market for investment. At PGS 2026, companies showcasing innovative platforms and state-of-the-art technology will present their offerings to a discerning audience.
Land-based gaming continues to hold significant importance in the Peruvian market. What will PGS provide for this segment?
PGS originated with a focus on land-based gaming products, aligning with the initial regulatory framework for physical gaming in the region. This tradition has persisted over the years, with the presence of prominent global brands making the exhibition a unique experience, attracting operators and industry leaders from around the world.
Today, as the industry evolves, PGS reflects a blend of both online and land-based gaming. This synergy does not create a divide; rather, they complement each other. Despite some exhibitors choosing to host parallel events during PGS's peak times, we will still feature exclusive slot machine manufacturers showcasing top-quality equipment and games.
What subjects will be addressed in the conference agenda?
A curated group of seasoned professionals will present valuable insights on a range of topics tailored to benefit stakeholders in the gaming industry. Representatives from associations like Sonaja, Apadela, and Atce, along with officials from Mincetur, will contribute to this exceptional program.
The conference will cover significant topics, including an executive overview of Peru's gaming landscape in 2025, the importance of responsible gaming, taxation issues in Latin America, the interplay between land-based and online gaming, reusable identity, and the impact of regulation on remote sports betting in Peru.
Additional discussions will focus on the rights and responsibilities of land-based operators during inspections, the balance and challenges faced by this sector following the initial regulatory framework, combating illegal gambling in online gaming, and utilizing payment methods as tools for security and operational efficiency.
