Mission

Gaming products the world's most discerning operators trust — and players return to.

Floor-first

We build for the floor, not the showroom — durable hardware engineered for footprint, uptime, and real earning power over a machine's full lifespan.

Original IP

Every mechanic, format, and race presentation is developed in-house — proprietary content operators can't source from a catalogue, refined across two decades of real floor operation.

Category specialist

Premium casino horse racing is our flagship specialty — two decades of depth in a single category, refined with every install. We built the world's first GLI-certified horse racing game, a specialist position that can't be shortcut.

Long-term partners

GLI-certified engineering, open collaboration, and the long-term support that keeps products running decades after delivery.

10+ Countries deployed across Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas
GLI First horse racing game in the world to receive GLI certification, 2006

Vision

To be the trusted standard in premium casino gaming — the manufacturer operators choose when the floor must perform.

History · 1996–Present

Thirty years. Still the standard.

1996

Founded in Seoul

F2 System is founded in Seoul by Sung Gyu Park as a game research and development studio, operating under the original tagline "Human friendly games driving your life rich."

1999

Designated a venture business

F2 System is officially designated a venture business by the Korean government, recognising the company as a technology-driven game developer — an early mark of institutional credibility.

2003

Royal Grand Prix Derby I™ — a franchise is born

F2 releases Royal Grand Prix Derby I™ to the Korean domestic market — a virtual horse racing experience that would become the company's defining product line. The cabinet combines cinematic race presentation with real-money wagering mechanics built for casino floors.

2004

Korean scale · first overseas install

Royal Grand Prix Derby I surpasses US $100 million in sales across the Korean arcade market (approximately 18,000 units, ≈₩180 billion), and F2 is appointed a Prospective Small & Medium Enterprise by the Korean government. The same year, Royal Grand Prix Derby I is installed in Poipet, Cambodia — F2's first overseas deployment.

2005

International debut — Macao, Manila, Las Vegas

Royal Grand Prix Derby I (Overseas Version) is installed at Pharaoh Casino, Macao (January) and in Manila, Philippines (February) — F2's first two casino markets outside Korea and the start of two decades of continuous presence in both regions. F2 debuts at G2E Las Vegas the same September.

2006

GLI certification — world's first

Royal Derby System acquires GLI certification in May 2006 — the world's first horse racing game to receive GLI approval, following RNG and RTP evaluation under ISO/IEC 17025. The same year, Royal Grand Prix Derby I is installed at Paradise Casino Walkerhill, Seoul and at Pavilion Casino, Manila — extending the Philippine footprint that would become F2's largest overseas market.

2007

F2 FilKor Manila · product line formalised

F2 FilKor Inc. is incorporated in Manila (June) — a local Philippine subsidiary giving operators in F2's largest overseas market direct commercial and support presence. The Royal Grand Prix Derby Series (Derby I / II / EZ / Table) is formally established, alongside WinningStar (electronic-live roulette) and Royal Fortuna (multi-player table) — the three product families F2 built through the 2010s before consolidating around the Derby line.

2009

Resorts World Manila

Royal Grand Prix Derby and WinningStar 8-Player enter Resorts World Manila — F2's first integrated-resort deployment in the Philippines, years ahead of the country's Entertainment City expansion.

2010

The multi-table era — four continents

WinningStar, Royal Fortuna MT, and Royal Multi-Table Derby roll out across Jamaica, Guam, Mexico (Caliente Group), and Canada (Amaya Gaming), with manufacturing in Brazil and expansion into Cyprus. The product range now spans electronic live, multi-player table, and virtual racing — all built on the same GLI-certified platform.

2011

Franchise scale-up — eight Philippine sites, India debut

Royal Derby 2, Royal Fortuna MT4, and WinningStar 8-Player are installed across eight Philippine venues (Cebu, Bacolod, Pavilion, Heritage, Ronquillo, Angeles, and more), while Royal Fortuna MT4 opens the Indian market at Crown Casino — the year the franchise moves from boutique installs to scale.

2012

Shield Macao · Guam expansion

Royal Grand Prix Derby Multi installs 45 units at Shield Macao — F2's largest Macao deployment to date, seven years after the first Pharaoh Casino install. Royal Derby 2 enters its second Cebu venue, and Royal Multi-Table Derby expands to two more Guam properties (VIPPACHINKO, WINSTER 2) on a rent-and-operate basis. F2 exhibits at G2E Asia Macao the same year.

2014

City of Dreams Manila

Royal Grand Prix Derby Multi is installed at City of Dreams Manila — the Melco-operated flagship on Entertainment City and one of the most closely watched casino floors in Asia. The deployment cements F2's position as the virtual racing specialist top-tier Philippine operators procure from, and opens a decade-long relationship with the property.

2016

Manila Bay Resorts — now Okada Manila

Royal Grand Prix Derby Multi enters the property formerly known as Manila Bay Resorts (rebranded Okada Manila earlier that year), Entertainment City's $2.4 billion Japanese-backed integrated resort. The third major Philippine deployment in six years, and evidence of repeat demand from the region's top-tier operators.

2025

Solaire Resort North · RGD Multi & RGD3 GLI certification

Royal Grand Prix Derby Multi is installed at Solaire Resort North — extending F2's Solaire relationship to both Entertainment City and Quezon City properties. The same year, both Royal Grand Prix Derby Multi (Paco 1.1) and Royal Grand Prix Derby 3 complete GLI certification, clearing the product line for its 2026 international launch.

2026

Royal Grand Prix Derby 3 — G2E Asia debut

F2's latest flagship debuted at G2E Asia 2026 (May 12–14, Cotai Expo Hall A, Stand A624, The Venetian Macao). A cinematic virtual racing experience engineered for modern casinos — up to 100 seats, 14 horses, 7 venues, and eight modular layouts scaling from a 6-terminal boutique install to a 100-seat flagship. Three decades of game development distilled into a single machine.

100+ titles since 1996

From casino floor cabinets to amusement halls and the early Korean internet — three decades of game design.
