EGT is a “True Leader” again, according to ICAP CRIF
Dec 13, 2024The excellent results for 2023 brought EGT a “True Leader” prize for another year in a row. At a special ceremony, which was held at the Hilton Hotel in Sofia on 11 December, the company was honored with the prestigious accolade, given in recognition of the outstanding performance of the 300 most successful enterprises from all industries in Bulgaria. EGT is a leader in the sector “Development and manufacturing of products for the gaming industry.”
Jeni Koussarova, Marketing director at the company, took the award. She said: “We are proud to receive this distinction again. EGT is not only among the leading companies in the Bulgarian economy but also one of the top manufacturers and suppliers of gaming solutions on a global scale, with our products and services currently enjoying popularity in more than 100 markets on 5 continents. We would not have achieved all these successes without the dedication and enthusiasm of the talents we have worked with for 22 years. The “True Leader” award inspires us to strive for even higher heights.”
The “True Leader” initiative is organized for the twelfth consecutive year by ICAP CRIF, the market leader in Credit Risk & Business Information Solutions in Southeastern Europe. The ranking is created based on officially published data and uses only measurable and objective indices. The participating companies have met four main criteria: they are among the most profitable enterprises in 2023 measured with EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), have kept or enhanced the number of their staff in the relevant year compared to the previous, stand out with high creditworthiness (Credit Score A1 to B2) and hold leading positions in the industries in which they operate.

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.
EGT and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer are continuing their long-term partnership
Aug 09, 2022Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer has once again decided to trust the gaming solutions of Euro Games Technology and equipped its two luxury Casino de Monte-Carlo and Casino Café de Paris with some of the latest propositions of the portfolio of the Bulgarian manufacturer. Guests of both gaming establishments will be able to enjoy the G 50 J2 St and G 32-32 VIP slot models supplied with Cai Fu Tian Jiang and Bell Link jackpot systems. The selection is complemented by the multiplayer bestseller of S-Line Series S32 connected to a roulette center and provided with a multi-stream system.
The attractive outlook of G 50 J2 St and G 32-32 VIP reflects the latest trends in design and the multimedia chair of the VIP model through which players have full control over their gaming journey is another important detail that contributes to the ultimate comfort during the game.
The Cai Fu Tian Jiang and Bell Link jackpots already had their first installations and have registered excellent results so far, and the multiplayer terminal S32 is still among the top developments of the company, which has established itself as a favorite of customers of many casinos around the world.
"I am beyond happy that we are upgrading our long-term fruitful cooperation with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer and I think that the current installation will live up to and even exceed expectations," said Nadia Popova, VP Sales & Marketing at EGT. "The company's philosophy of giving its customers the opportunity to fully indulge in the beauty and pleasures of life, offering them a wide range of different experiences, is in full harmony with the philosophy of EGT, which is also constantly striving to create innovative gaming solutions focused on providing the perfect gaming experience. This was one of the main reasons why we started working together with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer and I am confident that visitors of Casino de Monte-Carlo and Casino Café de Paris will find in the newly installed products exactly this aspiration of ours. I believe that we will keep on being one of the preferred gaming suppliers for the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer."
