(US, exclusive Yogonet.com).- "Our plans are to continue focusing on to focus in two areas. Firstly, creating premium content and secondly, continue to be innovative within the mobile HTML5 technology field," said Kent B Young President/CEO Spin Games in talks with Yogonet.com regarding the G2E. The executive also assured that this year's show exceeded its expectations.

Have your expectations been met  at this year's G2E?
This year's G2E exceeded our expectations. We had a large number of ‘key people’ visit our booth and all seemed very impressed with our technology and content.

What was Vegas show highlight?
I believe our MIG technology was a key highlight. This was the first time we showed this technology that allows players to play from there cell phones community games that are displayed on a central monitor.

What trends did you see? How was the mood in general?
I think on the slot side we are going through another ‘Licensing Phase’, which was evident in the amount of new licensed products from most manufacturers. I think another key trend was that of curved monitor configurations which again was evident across the floor.

What are your future plans?
Our plans are to continue to focus on two areas. Firstly, creating premium content and secondly continue to be innovative within the mobile HTML5 technology sector..

How do you see US industry?
I think it is a very exciting time with significant opportunity!. I believe that the industry is well-positioned for innovation within emerging product categories, particularly mobile and all the opportunities that it presents in bringing in a new demographic to the casino floor.

How do you think this market will evolve?
Consolidation on the manufacturing side I think will drive some change. I believe this will create opportunities for emerging companies such as spin games who can be  flexible and innovative, providing operators with products that they require in an expeditious manner.

And what about i-Gaming ?
Although i-Gaming in The US has got off to a  bit of a slow start, we believe long-term the entire sector  is a ‘when’ not an ‘if'!, and remain bullish on the sector. We currently operate our ROC RGS in New Jersey with Caesars, and continue to learn more about what works within the interactive space. We believe this along with our innovative HTML5 technology will position us well into the future.
