Bulgaria – EGT heralds best ever year
By Phil - 11 January 2016
Euro Games Technology has had its most successful year ever with 2015 seeing the company doubling its manufacturing capacity.
For the first time in its history it released 12,300 gaming stations (over 10,000 cabinets), 10,000 of which were new and 2,300 of which were refurbished from the rental services.
The R&D activity of EGT also grew considerably for the company’s slot machines, multiplayer solutions and interactive games divisions. The company even opened a new department, dedicated entirely to the development of the casino management system Spider. As part of the expansion, Euro Games Technology’s team exceeded 1,050 employees.
EGT won its Top 10 world nominations in two categories of the Global Gaming Awards 2015 competition for its slot cabinet P-24/24 Up and the touch screen roulette table of the Luxury series.
The market reach of Euro Games Technology continued in 2015 when the company achieved its highest rate of increase with a 70 per cent surge in global sales. New markets penetrated for the first time in 2015 included Monaco, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Gibraltar, Slovakia and Montenegro in Europe. In Africa EGT entered Djibouti, Sierra Leone and Malawi. EGT widened its distribution network as well, opening new offices in Spain and Belarus and starting a successful partnership in Slovakia. The facility of the company in Tanzania was also set into motion to serve the needs of the local gaming market.
A spokesperson said: “In 2016 Euro Games Technology wants to continue this accelerated tempo of growth, achieving an annual manufacturing capacity of 15,000 gaming stations and boosting its sales by another 30 per cent. The company also plans on entering new markets and on intensifying its presence in the USA, Central and South America.”
