Uruguay – 2016 proves a breakthrough year for EGT in Uruguay
By Phil - 15 June 2016
Euro Games Technology has completed a series of installations on the southern coastline of Uruguay.
The first came back in January, 2016, when the biggest local operator Casinos del Estado, who owns 32 gaming establishments, installed the first 50 P-24/24 Up cabinets from the Premier series.
EGT will supply another 36 machines within two weeks. The cabinets are equipped with the Multi-4 and Multi-5 multigame mixes, each consisting of 45 titles.
Its first appearance in Uruguay was in Radisson Casino in Montevideo and Hípica Rioplatense. More recently, the cabinet is now available in all major gaming establishments in the country with Keno being the most preferred title of Premier Multi-4 and Multi-5 mixes.
Daniel Magariños, general manager of Pallana Gaming, Euro Games Technology’s partner for Uruguay, said: “Keno from EGT is a hit among the local players, generates higher results for the casinos and attracts more visitors to their halls. The reason for its success stems from EGT’s design concept, as well as from the convenience of having this particular game accessible on a standard slot cabinet. I’m confident that soon there will be much more titles of the company to gain the same popularity in the country.“
The key reasons for Casinos del Estado in choosing the EGT bid for the installation of 50 machines included the short delivery time, the practicality of P-24/24 Up, its game catalogue and high serviceability. All the important components of the cabinet are easy accessible and this feature facilitates the technical team of the operator.
“We are proud that the most famous product of EGT enters the Uruguayan market precisely with the major local casino operator Casinos del Estado. It is a tough market, but we have so far managed to achieve very good results. This slot model is among the most efficient cabinets and will certainly capacitate our expansion in the country,” added Mr. Magariño.
