The VLT market will be a completely new gaming sector for Greece and create a strong, legal gaming base. VLTs are becoming increasingly popular around the world. In Europe, the Czech Republic and Slovakia led the way. The remarkable success in Italy has shown how popular VLTs can be.
The increased stakes and prizes with the possibility of progressive jackpots introduce a whole new world of gaming opportunities. The fact that the VLTs are controlled online and the games stem from a server allows the government tax offices to have real time access and control of the VLTs. In Italy, the tax revenue from VLTs is high enough to be of major importance to the state.
Therefore, the Greek government, gaming operators and players alike are looking forward to the introduction of VLTs. New partnerships are arising in Greece with VLT manufacturers set to bring their technology to Greece. The market for change machines is set to grow strongly. However, these change machine manufacturers must have very specific knowledge to compete in this market.
Italy is the largest market for VLTs in Europe. The sheer size of requirements in the Italian market has led to a large and very strong product range at VNE. Thus, VNE can provide the ideal change solutions to the forthcoming Greek market.
The GameNet exhibition took place March 9-11 in Athens. This was the ideal opportunity to introduce VNE to the Greek gaming market. The partnership between Million King and VNE was formally announced at this show. Million King is a fast-growing Greek gaming company. The large stand underlined the international partnerships the company has formed in the gaming industry.
VNE plays a prominent role, as Managing Director Thanasis Michail explains, “The Greek VLT market needs the best VLT change solutions. Naturally we look in Greece to Italy for their experience and support. We are very pleased that we are bringing Italy’s number one change machine manufacturer to Greece”.
Lorenzo Verona, Commercial Director of VNE, enthuses, “We have the perfect products for change giving for the VLT sector. We have many years of experience and the fact that we are the most popular VLT change provider in one of the largest markets in our home market in Italy underlines our reputation for excellent product quality and service. Furthermore, the fact that our VLT change machines are all connected online means that we can provide remote service – another reason why VNE is the preferred choice”.
