Angel smart tables announced as next Pitch! innovation at Regulating the Game 2026 in Sydney – The Gaming Boardroom
Regulating the Game (RTG) has selected Angel’s Smart Tables as the next Pitch! innovation to be showcased at the RTG conference in Sydney on 9 March 2026. Pitch! is a showcase for technologies that can shift regulatory outcomes and strengthen integrity across gambling, gaming and wagering sectors.
Angel’s hybrid smart table system uses video-assisted artificial intelligence to capture granular, player-level table-game data in real time. The technology records buy-ins, betting patterns, stake sizes, time on table, win/loss and turnover, and builds full historical play patterns for individual patrons. That data is auditable and intended to support harm minimisation, accurate player assessment, informed interventions and stronger regulatory compliance.
The system is already deployed in Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia, with further installations underway in New Zealand and interest from other markets. Angel says the solution addresses increasing regulatory expectations in Australia, including AML/CTF evidentiary standards and emerging harm-minimisation frameworks.
Key Points
Angel Smart Tables use video-assisted AI to generate granular, auditable player-level data for table games in real time.
The technology captures buy-ins, bet patterns, stake sizes, time on table, win/loss, turnover and historical play per patron.
Provides operators with reliable data previously limited to slot machines, replacing subjective, manual observation for table games.
Supports harm minimisation, player assessment, regulatory compliance and AML/CTF evidentiary requirements.
Already in use across Macau, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia; further rollouts planned in New Zealand and other markets.
Selected for Pitch! at RTG 2026, recognising its potential to materially uplift regulatory capability and sector integrity.
Context and Relevance
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies — particularly in Australia — operators are being asked for verifiable, auditable records from all gaming verticals. Table games have lagged behind slots in data availability because they historically relied on dealer observation and manual recording. Angel’s smart tables change that dynamic by delivering evidence-grade data that can be used both for operator-level harm-minimisation programmes and for meeting regulator expectations on monitoring and remediation.
For regulators, vendors and operators focused on player protection, AML/CTF compliance and integrity, the technology represents a meaningful step towards closing a longstanding data gap on gaming floors. Its selection for Pitch! underlines its potential industry impact.
Why should I read this
If you care about how casinos prove what’s actually happening on their floors (and you should), this is a neat fix for a really old problem. Angel’s kit turns guesswork into numbers — so whether you’re a regulator, operator or tech watcher, it’s worth knowing how table-game data is finally catching up with slots.
