What is your evaluation of the latest SAGSE edition?
This year there was less quantity of public, but a very good quality of visitors. That’s what many companies are seeking. That’s why SAGSE reaffirmed, once more, that it is the most important event of the region. All the people that had to come assisted to the show. For us, it has been totally satisfactory.
What novelties did you present?
We exhibited a variety of popular MLD and Premium products. We presented Star Wars Droid Hunt in the Latin American market for the first time, on top of Sex and the City, Wheel of Fortune Secret Spins and Top Dollar Reel MultiPLAY. It means that we brought a whole variety of games and platforms that shows that, once more, IGT is at the forefront of the industry.
Within the regional markets, Which is the one that has more potential for you? Which is the most mature?
The region currently counts with very varied markets. Peru reached a quite important level of formalization and has a very adequate regulation. It is a very mature market that is interesting, specially for providers of online systems. There are many companies there seeking to renovate its machine collection in order to comply with current regulations. Argentina is an extremely mature market in which investments are bigger each time. It is about to become one of the main markets of the region, if it is not already. Colombia is still writing the regulatory frame and there is a very big projection. It is a market to watch.
Which are the following projects of the company?
To keep producing games, introduce downloadable games to the market and boost the presence of our systems.
