Interblock Receives Macau DICJ Approval for Free Fall Roulette Ahead of Asian Launch
TL;DR — Interblock’s Free Fall Roulette secured DICJ approval in Macau and is slated as the first Asian launch market for the AMUSE-line ETG. Final demo and inspection stages remain, with no launch date set. The product uses a Plinko-inspired pinball twist on roulette via Universal Cabinet.
SCCG Take — This approval opens a pathway for hybrid arcade-table products in Macau, signaling regulators’ acceptance of innovative ETG formats that operators can use to broaden player demographics.
Interblock’s Free Fall Roulette has secured approval from Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau. The electronic table game is now positioned for its Asian debut in the jurisdiction.
Vincent Tang, Interblock’s vice president of sales for Asia Pacific, provided the details in comments to GGRAsia. “The product has officially received DICJ approval on paper,” Tang said. The company is now in the final stage, which requires an official demo and inspection before the machines can go live on the gaming floor. Tang added that Interblock is currently coordinating on the machine setup.
No operational date has been set. The supplier is awaiting confirmation on setup details for the final inspection. “Once the inspection has been successfully completed and all regulatory requirements have been fulfilled, then we can proceed with installation,” Tang stated.
Macau as Asia’s Entry Point for AMUSE Product
Tang confirmed that Macau will become the first gaming jurisdiction in Asia to officially launch Free Fall Roulette, part of the AMUSE line. The product has not yet appeared in any other Asian gaming jurisdiction. Interblock announced the AMUSE range in 2024 as a “new sector” product line combining elements of ETG play, slot play, and live-table gaming in an arcade-style experience.
Free Fall Roulette deploys on the Universal Cabinet. It applies a “pinball-style twist” to roulette, with play inspired by Plinko ball drop mechanics, per the supplier’s materials.
Timeline to Casino Floor Deployment
The final demo and inspection will determine when installation can begin in Macau casinos. Operators will need to track the coordination between Interblock and regulators on machine setup. Successful completion of this stage clears the path for the product’s regional introduction, with Macau serving as the initial launch market in Asia.
