(US).- According to Todd Eilers’ quarterly Key Performance Indicators, slot machine sales in North America rose 40.3 % in the first quarter over last year to 29,174 games and 32.3 % over the fourth quarter. IGT has the lion’s share of the sales at 38 %, which was 2 % above its trailing 12-month average.
Most of that growth was from replacement sales, which jumped 56.4 % over last year.
Small suppliers continued to take share from the big five of IGT, Bally, Aristocrat, WMS and Konami. They earned 16 % ship share, up a whopping 11 points from last year and two points above the fourth quarter.
Gaming operations grew 0.6 % with Multimedia Games making the biggest gains and Aristocrat and Bally growing ship share, too. International slot sales were flat against the fourth quarter with Aristocrat leading and followed, in order, by IGT, WMS, Ainsworth, SHFL and BYI.
BYI continued to dominate systems, increasing its leading position to 57.2 % of the quarter’s us$135.4m revenue.
