New Bingo raffle game attracts attention as DRGT builds on continued growth and expands its technology offering
DR Gaming Technology (DRGT) returned to Booth 4405 at The Venetian Expo for the 2026 edition of G2E Las Vegas, under the leadership of newly promoted Chief Executive Officer: Koen De Wispelaere.
De Wispelaere, the company’s former Chief Financial Officer, has been with DRGT since 2015, and took over the primary leadership mantle from Marco Herrera at the end of September.
“I’ve attended every G2E since joining the company just over a decade ago, but 2026 did feel a little different; I must be honest. I guess when the buck stops with you, you do need to assess and pursue everything a little differently. That said, I work with a talented bunch of people, so a good showing was never in doubt. We had a great booth, and some very positive engagements – I’m a proud and happy man”
When asked about what drew the most interest from visitors De Wispelaere said: “Without a doubt, our new Bingo raffe game.”
Developed initially for DRGT customers in Mexico, the game was showcased primarily to that market but
quickly attracted interest from operators across other jurisdictions at the Expo too.
“The game uses our system-based raffle technology, but instead of issuing players a raffle ticket, they get issued dedicated Bingo cards,” said DRGT’s Managing Director: Mexico, Alfredo Moreno. “These cards can then be printed out at our drPlayerKiosk or digital versions stored on players’ loyalty profiles.”
“It works much like a bonus game. Operators determine the qualifying criteria for earning a Bingo card, when the earning period starts and ends, when the actual game is played, and whether players need to remain in the casino to qualify for a win. It’s an interactive experience, with the ‘ball drop’ displayed across selected or all casino screens, as well as our drScreenUltra player interface units, accompanied by pre-recorded audio. The Mexican market is responding very positively, and following G2E, I have no doubt that operators in other countries will see the potential too.”
Co-founder, and Group Executive Chairman, Jurgen De Munck agreed: “Our Bingo raffle game really did work a treat. I spend a lot of time in Mexico; we have three Infiniti Casinos there now (in addition to the two in Belgium and two in France) and realised that as this was a game the local market loved we had to find a way to include it in our marketing arsenal. I am very pleased with the final product, and more importantly both our live-tested feedback, and the interest from visitors to G2E.”
Following significant growth in 2025, demand continues for DRGTs casino management systems and jackpot solutions, alongside its growing portfolio of NextGen applications, and ‘Player-First’ marketing tools; these include its media manager, bonus games, player info kiosk, drCARM cash dispensing kiosk and updated ‘all-in-one’ rewards module that now allows operators to configure the Company’s system-driven jackpots and promotions in a single application.
The Group’s continued expansion is reflected in a series of recent installations and project extensions. In
September, DRGT installed its casino management systems and jackpot solution across a further three Merit casinos in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), connecting almost 2,000 additional devices in just 20 days. The company also completed its first Merit installation outside the TRNC, at Merit Splendid in Montenegro. There were also installs of just over 300 connected devices for Grand Casino Prilly in Switzerland, the company’s first installation for Groupe Cogit at their soon to be opened Le Casinos de Cayenne in French Guiana, as well as it’s Sister Infiniti Casino Berck-su-Mer in France in July. The Company also extended its relationship with Efbet in Bulgaria to in excess of 2,500 connected devices, in so doing crossing the 60-location threshold.
Having worked closely with De Munck during his tenure as CEO, and more recently alongside him in the Group’s Infiniti Casino operations, De Wispelaere has been afforded the enviable opportunity to experience ‘first hand’ what operators and their players need, and as a result, what service providers should deliver.
“When I was appointed, I already knew what was expected of me and understood and fully believed in the
strategy: deliver scalable, intelligent, and player-focused technology that helps operators unlock value while keeping the experience seamless and engaging. We showed that in Vegas, and I am convinced that with Jurgen and the rest of my colleagues’ help we will continue to expand on that”.
Not wanting to divulge too much both De Munck and De Wispelaere were tight-lipped as to ‘what’s next’ but confirmed that a number of ideas were on the boil. The company’s next big showing will be at ICE in January 2027, and there’s no doubt that visitors to the Fira Barcelona Gran Via can expect further ‘Player-First’ developments designed to enhance both the player experience and operator value.
