Date: [Insert Date]
Location: [Insert Location/Virtual]
Moderator: Welcome to today’s press conference, hosted by [Game Company Name], to address critical questions about India’s evolving gaming industry, particularly focusing on slot-based games. Joining us are:
Ms. Aisha Patel, Head of Legal Compliance
Mr. Rohan Indian, Director of Player Experience
Dr. Priya Sharma, Social Responsibility Lead
Let’s begin with the most pressing question:
Q1: How does [Game Company Name] navigate India’s complex gambling regulations?
Ms. Aisha Patel: India’s gaming laws vary significantly by state, with most jurisdictions prohibiting traditional casinos. However, we focus on skill-based games and adhere strictly to regional regulations. For example, in permitted states like Goa and Maharashtra, we operate under a Rummy Act 1968 license, ensuring compliance with age verification, revenue sharing, and transparency. Our platforms use random number generators (RNGs) certified by third parties like eCOGRA, guaranteeing fairness.
Q2: Are slot games considered gambling in India?
Mr. Rohan Indian: The classification depends on state laws. In states where skill-based games are legal, our slots integrate elementary skill mechanics (e.g., pattern recognition, strategy-based bonuses) to differentiate them from pure chance games. We collaborate with legal experts to ensure every game meets the "skill vs. luck" threshold required by regulators.
Q3: What measures ensure player safety and responsible gaming?
Dr. Priya Sharma: Player protection is our priority. We implement:
Self-Exclusion Tools: Players can instantly block accounts or set deposit limits.
Time-Based Restrictions: Daily/weekly playtime alerts.
Educational Campaigns: Partnerships with NGOs like Project醒醒 to promote healthy gaming habits.
Financial Responsibility: A dedicated helpline for addiction support.
Q4: How does the company engage with India’s diverse market?
Mr. Rohan Indian: Localization is key. We offer:
Language Support: Games and interfaces in Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali.
Payment Integration: Partnerships with UPI, Paytm, and PhonePe for seamless transactions.
Cultural Themes: Games inspired by Indian festivals (e.g., Diwali Spin, Holi Blast).
Q5: What are your future plans for India?
Ms. Aisha Patel: We aim to expand into skill-based tournaments and blockchain-based games, pending regulatory approval. By 2025, we plan to invest ₹100 crore in tech infrastructure and create 500 local jobs.
