⏱ 3 min read
(Lima, SoloAzar Exclusive).- Marcel Heutmekers, Senior Vice President of the Gaming sector of IGT for Latin America, spoke exclusively with SoloAzar about the company's participation in the Peru Gaming Show 2018. "IGT has sponsored the Peru Gaming Show for many years, since this market represents a key region for the operations in Latin America of IGT," he said.
What has IGT shown in this latest edition of the Peru Gaming Show?
IGT's new CrystalDual 27® gaming machine made its debut for the industry in Latin America at this year's edition of the Peru Gaming Show with new packages of HD diversity games, along with USwitch multigame packages. This exceptional cabinet features two 27-inch high-definition displays, the bank-level synchronized lighting option, a mobile charging port, and much more.
We are also excited to present the CrystalCurve™ cabinet and its content, with titles such as Wild Fury Jackpots™, Ocean Magic Grand™, and the favorite multi-level progressive Fort Knox® players. We also highlight the TRUE 3D content in the AXXIS® 3D cabinet, with titles such as Zuma™ 3D, along with new games such as IGT's Money Storm® in the S3000® cabinet.
What were the expectations and objectives of the company for this edition of the PGS? What do you think of this year's show? And the conferences?
IGT has sponsored the Peru Gaming Show for many years, since this market represents a key region for the Latin American operations of IGT. Industry fairs such as the Peru Gaming Show are an excellent opportunity to highlight IGT's latest innovations and demonstrate to current and potential customers that we have the right products and services to encourage their growth in the region. This year we are pleased to present content approved by players in the CrystalCurve cabinet, currently available to players in more than 100 casinos throughout Latin America.
How do you see the gaming market in the region? How is the company positioned in this market?
Latin America continues to be a very important market for IGT. We have received a positive response in the recent facilities of the CrystalCurve gaming machine throughout the region and we continue to take advantage of that momentum with the launch of new and verified content by players within the next few months with titles such as Mega Wheel™ and Games of Arrows™.
Likewise, the recent launch of the CrystalDual 27 gaming machine with its content adapted to the market marks an important opportunity to increase our market share in the region. The response to the presentation and the content roadmap was very positive in the edition of the Peru Gaming Show and our other regional customer events this year.
In what other shows will IGT be present during this year?
The SAGSE exhibition in Buenos Aires will take place soon in Latin America. SAGSE is a key industry trade show for IGT and we look forward to present front-line hardware and content, such as our latest multi-level progressive, Fortune Gong, on the CrystalCurve gaming machine.
As you average this year, what balance can you make and what goals do you have for the second semester?
The CrystalCurve gaming machine has enjoyed good reception in all key markets throughout Latin America and we have had a positive response from our customers. We also continued to make significant progress in locating our content within the region with titles adapted to the market in the CrystalCurve and CrystalDual 27 cabinets.
Our commitment remains in place, encouraging the sustained growth of our customers, and we are confident that our robust hardware and content roadmap will continue to attract and excite players throughout the region.
