San Juan, Puerto Rico — October 16, 2025. The gaming and digital entertainment industry is undergoing a process of transformation and consolidation across this island territory. A renewed regulatory framework, the arrival of new operators, and the expansion of technological platforms mark a turning point for Puerto Rico, positioning it as a key reference hub in the region. In this context, the moment chosen by GAT Events to land in Puerto Rico offers an ideal setting to discover new business opportunities and interact with leading brands in innovation and technology that are shaping global trends in the gaming sector.
GAT Expo Puerto Rico will take place on October 28 and 29 at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, bringing together local authorities, executives, associations, manufacturers, and international experts in an agenda that blends academia, a commercial exhibition, and cultural experiences.
The academic sessions will be held in the mornings on both days and will include a detailed analysis of the regulatory framework issued by the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission, which continues to advance toward modern standards of licensing and supervision, opening doors for both local operators and international brands interested in the Caribbean market.
Juan Carlos Santaella, the highest authority in the field, together with the officials in charge of Casinos and Games of Chance, Horse Racing, Sports Betting, Fantasy Contests, and Route Machines, will share with attendees the details of the current regulation and the short- and mid-term objectives of this evolving legal framework.
International associations such as Asojuegos and Fecoljuegos (Colombia) will present their perspectives and expertise in anti-money laundering (AML) prevention and control, along with the latest advances from the International Gaming Federation (FIJA)—a newly established organization born at GAT Expo Mexico, now widely recognized as a global voice for gaming associations across different countries.
“From our very first inspection visit to Puerto Rico with the intention of holding an event in San Juan 2025, GAT Events found a favorable environment and full support from the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission. The island had not hosted a commercial fair in over a decade, which makes the strategic alliance achieved with the government’s regulatory body all the more significant. This partnership has strengthened ties with local operators and fostered joint collaboration in developing this project. The regulatory authority will play a leading role in the academic agenda, networking activities, and commercial exhibition—reinforcing our shared commitment to innovation, responsible gaming, and sustainable growth for the industry. I would also like to highlight the closing show by the legendary orchestra El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, sponsored by Raza Carreras and its brands Redwall and Ragnes. Without a doubt, it will be an unforgettable celebration.” — José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT Events.
The commercial exhibition will open to the public on Wednesday, October 29, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., giving industry professionals the opportunity to explore high-quality products and services from the following providers and distributors:
Novomatic, Prometeo Oklahoma, Raza Carreras, Red Wall, Ragnes Virtuales, Caribe Gaming, GLI, Amusnet, Casino Parts by Casino Garage, Easylinkx, Expocaribe, Gem Solutions, Golden Race, Softquo, Spinmatic Center, Xpress, Hipódromo Camarero, Juancito Sport, BYA Group, G&G Studio Legal.
