“We have plans to expand our presence in the Latin American/Caribbean region”

Claudia, What products and/or services does Canadian Gaming Service offer?
Canadian Gaming Service (CGS) designs, builds and sells slot machines. Presently, we have customers in Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean markets. We also sell used slot machines from different major manufacturers. We have a large variety, from reel games to video, uprights to slants. CGS provides a cost effective alternative to the gaming industry with our new and used slot machines, new and re-conditioned parts (such as printers, monitors, etc.), interior signs, Black Jack tables, etc.

You came to Aruba this year. Can you us more about your trip?
I am very proud to report that our products have created a lot of interest for the Casino operators here in Aruba, due to the high quality and competitive pricing of our products. In particular, our new upright, dual screen slot machine, has captured the attention of many casino owners and managers.

What is your plan for the Latin American/Caribbean region?
We have plans to expand our presence in the Latin American/Caribbean region in a significant way. This is precisely why I joined CGS earlier this year. We have formed strategic alliances throughout different regions in Latin America; announcements to follow. CGS plans to invest time and resources in this very exciting region by visiting current and potential clients as well as attending the many trade shows in the area.

What is your perspective on the current market situation in Latin America?
Market conditions are a bit challenging these days but we are very optimistic. In fact, our competitive pricing is a very strong asset, especially in the tough market conditions at the present time. Although, it seems that the Latin American market has not been affected in the same way as other markets; and even though companies are being somewhat cautious, they’re still looking at expansion and growth in this region. 

Any other plans this year?
Of course! We were one of the sponsors for the Canadian Gaming Summit in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on April 28-30. This is the only gaming show in Canada during the year. It brings the entire gaming industry together in one location. CGS showcased the new GLI approved game themes at Booth number 401, as well as a brand new cabinet design. Many of our Canadian customers  attended the show along with customers from the USA and Latin America. CGS will also be attending several of the gaming shows in Latin America; in Panama we will be at the booth number 23 and, off course, we will be at the G2E in November in Las Vegas.
