Aug 24, 2022Euro Games Technology is among the finalists in the 9-th consecutive edition of Global Gaming Awards Las Vegas 2022 (GGA). The competition distinguishes the companies with the greatest achievements in the gaming sector for the past 12 months in the Americas region.
EGT will compete for the prize in the Land-Based Industry Supplier of the year category which recognizes the efforts of the suppliers who drive the development of brick-and-mortar casinos. The Bulgarian manufacturer received the nomination as it had recorded an extremely strong year, having installed many of its new products with great success in numerous gaming establishments around the world. The jackpot solution Bell Link quickly won the players’ hearts with its four levels offering many bonuses and opportunities for additional winnings, as well as the special selection of games in the Bell Link 1 multigame, which are some of the most popular titles in EGT’s portfolio.
2 Happy Hits, High Cash and Cai Fu Tian Jiang jackpot systems were developed specifically for the American market and also had their debut this year. Featuring captivating single games on exotic themes and multiple options for winning and entertainment, they are about to rank among the preferred gaming choices of the local audience.
EGT’s latest series of slot machines General also received the approval of players and casino operators. Following the latest trends in design and offering ultimate comfort, especially the VIP models supplied with multimedia chairs, these models quickly became favorites of the casino visitors. Compelling evidence of this fact is that some of the largest and most luxurious establishments in Mexico already have special areas, the so-called Lounges, that are supplied only with EGT equipment, a large part of which are General cabinets.
“We are very happy that EGT is nominated exactly in the Land-Based Industry Supplier of the year category because it reflects to the fullest extent everything we have achieved in the last 12 months," shared Nadia Popova, VP Sales & Marketing at EGT.
The GGA competition is powered by the B2B-gaming publications Gambling Insider and Gaming America in association with G2E and awards prizes in 15 categories, covering both the land-based and digital aspects of the industry. The judging panel consists of 100 C-level executives from the biggest and most notable gaming companies, including manufacturers, suppliers, casino operators and experts. The fairness and transparency of the voting process is guaranteed by the independent adjudication of KPMG. The winners will be announced on a luncheon ceremony on 10-th October.
EGT and Operation Teddy Bear Association give a future to disadvantaged children
Aug 22, 2022As a socially responsible company, EGT decided to join the year-round Mentoring Program “The Hidden Talents of Bulgaria” of the Operation Teddy Bear Association. The program gives a chance for university application and professional realization to gifted young people, deprived of parental care or from socially disadvantaged families. The Program provides access to private lessons, seminars, workshops, camps and competitions, work with an individual mentor, scholarships, textbooks, equipment and everything necessary for the success of each talented young man or woman.
EGT will support Stephen Tsokin and Nadezhda Katsarkova to develop their talent and find their professional way.
"We are proud to be a part of "The Hidden Talents of Bulgaria" Program because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to show what they are capable of, especially when it comes to such endowed young people like Stephen and Nadezhda,” said Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT.
Stephen is 19 years old and his passion is Japanese animations. He has been part of the "Hidden Talents of Bulgaria" Program for 5 years and thanks to it he has completed courses in drawing, 3D animation and design. He is currently a student majoring in Graphic Design at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia and this summer Stephen will have the opportunity to put into practice what he has learned so far and to acquire new knowledge and skills as an intern graphic designer in EGT.
Nadezhda Katsarkova graduated from the National School of Applied Arts in Tryavna and was accepted to continue her education at the reputable Instituto Europeo di Design in Milan. In order for this to happen, EGT will cover the cost of accommodating for the first 10 months of her stay.
“I’m confident that Stephen and Nadezhda will fully justify the trust we place in them, and I am glad that it is EGT that will help these talented young people build a decent future for themselves," concluded Mr. Dokov.
Biserka Draganova, sales manager for the Balkans and Egypt at EGT: “With a market share of 45% EGT is a leader in Northern Cyprus”
Aug 15, 2022Interview with Biserka Draganova, sales manager for the Balkans and Egypt at EGT
What is EGT's position on the Northern Cyprus market? What is the company’s market share?
Since EGT made its first installation in Northern Cyprus in 2009, our company has been one of the top suppliers for the country. Currently, we hold a market share of 45%. There are more than 20 casinos on the island, all of which are spacious, with a modern outlook and equipped with the latest gaming solutions.
EGT products are very popular among local players, and I can even say that very often Northern Cyprus is where our new developments make their debut, or at least it is among the first countries where it happens.
That was the case with our Bell Link jackpot. It provides players with a lot of bonuses and entertainment with its 4 jackpot levels, the first and second being fixed for the particular machine and the third and fourth levels being progressive.
The first installation was made at the end of May 2022. By the end of July 2022, the jackpot is already available in almost all the casinos on the island and is among the players’ favorites.
EGT’s multiplayer solutions also recently had their local premiere. S-line terminals connected to a live and automatic wheel can be found in Pasha Casino Nicosia, which is also the gaming establishment that first installed EGT slot products 13 years ago.
What is the situation in the local casinos at the moment? Are there any restrictions? Has the pandemic affected the orders of EGT machines?
During the pandemic there were severe restrictions, even the casinos were entirely closed for a few months, and investments were temporarily stopped. The operators have taken advantage of the moment very well: they have renovated their gaming halls and subsequently have renewed the slot mix.
Now when the establishments are open again, they gain speed very quickly. Eloquent testimony of this fact is that for the first half of 2022, EGT has witnessed record sales of slot machines, which definitely exceeded my expectations.
What are EGT’s most successful products and why? Which are the characteristics that attract players and casino operators the most? How do they perform compared to the products of the competing manufacturers and suppliers?
I think that what both players and operators appreciate the most in EGT machines is the perfect combination of contemporary and eye-catching design and ultimate comfort, which is inherent to all our machines from Vega Vision, Premier and of course, the newest General Series.
The General slot models are shaping up to be not only some of the most popular machines of EGT’s portfolio but also some of the most preferred ones on the island right now. All casinos in North Cyprus are provided with models from the series.
Of the games, the fruit-themed ones stand out as favorites to the domestic gaming audience, and Fruits Collection 2 and Fruits General are the mixes with the best reviews. Of course, we should not forget to mention that the Premium Link jackpot has a mandatory presence in every casino.
I dare say that EGT is currently a leader in Northern Cyprus with its market share of 45% and this gives us an incentive to continue to introduce our new developments which we believe will receive the same good feedback as our previous propositions of ours.
What do you think will be the next bestseller of EGT in North Cyprus?
Undoubtedly, the next EGT bestseller will be the jackpot Bell Link captivating players with its beautiful graphics and many additional bonuses. Among the cabinets, I would distinguish our VIP models as the most preferred ones as they create the feeling of luxury and contribute to an unforgettable gaming experience.
How do you think the North Cyprus market will develop in the future?
The successes we have achieved since the beginning of the year make me believe that the perspectives for the development of the market in North Cyprus are very good.
I’m glad to say that for the first 7 months of 2022 more than 630 EGT slot and around 100 multiplayer products were installed in the casinos of Merit, Pia Bella, Chamada, Grand Pasha, Concord, Acapulco, and Salamis and the results till the moment are really impressive.
Our installations are continuing full steam ahead. One large-scale installation of over 200 of our cabinets in Arkin Venture Iskele's latest project has just been made, and Rock's Casino, Dome Casino, and Kaya Palazzo are waiting for deliveries of our equipment next month.
Many new projects for large hotels with casinos are coming up, and I have every reason to believe that Euro Games Technology's gaming products will find their place in them.
