I believe that this installation will further strengthen our fruitful partnership and I hope that it will open the door for even more interesting and high-potential collaborations like this in the future."

Florida once again welcomes EGT machines
Apr 21, 2015Euro Games Technology’s advance in the US market continues with a new installation in Florida. Reel Games Inc., EGT’s partner for the region, supplied Calder Casino & Race Course with P-24/24 Upright cabinets from the renowned Premier Series.

Our steady approach to rolling out EGT’s products in North America has proven to be effective. The installation at Calder Casino & Race Course is another step forward towards gaining significant market share in the many locations we are already licensed.”
Calder Casino & Race Course took advantage of the flexible configurations EGT has to offer, and chose a custom set-up for their new cabinets. They include the Premier Multi-4 game mix that contains 45 different games with various themes and line number options. The cabinets are linked in the classic Vega Jackpot System, which allows the connection of EGT machines into a local network, where they participate in the accumulation and the distribution of additional jackpot wins in real time. The system maintains up to 48 independent symbol driven progressive jackpots, with maximum 4 denominations each, or up to 3 mystery jackpots – Mini, Middle, and Super, common for the chosen denominations.
Paul Pippin, Senior Director of Slot Operations for Calder Casino stated: “We are excited to finally have these machines on the casino floor. The new multi-game mix includes 10-50 line various game titles, and fruit-themed slots which are highly popular with the local players. We look forward to the performance which is already beyond expectations.”
Overseeing the installation, Nadia Popova from EGT office in Panama commented: “We are very pleased with this installation and with the interest in our games. We look forward to expanding strong in Florida and, together with Reel Games, to introduce further exciting innovations. In fact, we are already planning installations of our progressive jackpot system Egypt Quest which has proven successful in many countries – it is a favorite among operators and players alike. That’s why we have reason to believe that it won’t become unnoticed by US players as well.”

The EGT manufacturing facility in Tanzania is the first of its kind in East Africa and its opening had the support of both business and local authorities. The generation of new jobs in the area, backed up with different training programs, and the new partnerships with local subcontractors are just a few of all favoring the local economy factors that accompany EGT’s further growth in the country.
„Our new factory in Tanzania creates new opportunities for achieving our main goal – to become a market leader in the gaming industry in East Africa in near future,” announced Vassil Marokov, director of EGT – Tanzania, during the official opening of the facility.

EGT partners with the largest operator in Hungary
Mar 25, 2015Euro Games Technology’s products were chosen by the biggest operator Las Vegas Casino Group in Hungary, owning the exclusive rights for Budapest with licenses for five casinos. After the 2012 ban on the street slot machines and the doubling of granted casino licenses, the gaming industry in the country marked one of the most remarkable market growths in Europe. More than 100,000 players are expected to visit the newly opened Corvin Sétány, Atlantis, Sofitel Budapest, Atrium EuroCenter. In March, the fifth casino of the operator, Tropicana, will be also up and running.
147 slot machines and 4 roulettes, provided by EGT, became the centerpiece of the brand new casinos, and offered tons of ways of entertainment. The Premier Series P-24/24 Up comprises 98 of the cabinets, featuring multigame mixes Multi-3 and Multi-4. There are also 45 Vega Vision+ slant top and upright machines with game libraries Multi-2 and Multi-4. The progressive jackpot system Cat 4 Cash comes as a 4-cabinet configuration and the four Vega Series R8 automated roulettes provide 8 gaming places each.
“With this installation EGT has reached a 22% market share in Budapest,” commented Csaba Pardi, EGT Sales Manager for Hungary, Austria, Poland, and Sweden. “Our success stems from the fact that the operator is familiar with the Vega Vision+ cabinets and has a positive experience with our products and services. This time most of the machines are making their first appearance in the country, namely the Premier Series cabinets and the Cat 4 Cash jackpot system, and expectations are great. The installation was flawless, but only time will let our products prove their potential and reliability.”
EGT has prepared 19 more P-24/24 Up machines, 12 Vega Vision+ slant top cabinets, and one Vega Series R8 roulette for the upcoming opening of the investor’s fifth casino. “We hope that our partnership with Las Vegas Casino Group will continue to be mutually beneficial. It is no secret that, in the past few years, EGT expanded its portfolio considerably, and that was clearly noticed by our Hungarian partner,” added Mr. Pardi. “Our plan is to provide new games to the already installed products, and, possibly, to add new models to the existing ones.”
