How do you evaluate your participation at G2E? What were your main goals? Could you achieve them?
The PGS presence at G2E was the result of our goals and objectives being achieved. Four years ago, some people doubted about the what PGS was capable of accomplishing in the future. However, the professional and persistent work of a great team around AMG SAC, organizing company of Peru Gaming Show, enabled us to achieve success.
Being at G2E, the main goal was to be together with the companies that, over the years, and in particular in the last four years, have trusted in PGS. Besides, we wanted make new contacts and talk with new customers to let them know that the Peruvian market is an excellent place to seek business opportunities. Finally, we proposed showing the worldwide gaming industry that PGS is an extraordinary option when searching for new markets in Latin America. We are very satisfied with G2E, with the treatment, the organization's reception of us and the companies with whom we were contact with.

Top-level conferences attracted the attention of the visitors. On top of that, we noted presentations in new technology that push business owners to reinvent themselves.
What are the main concerns of Latin American manufacturers and operators with regards to 2015?
Depending on the country of origin of the manufacturer in Latin America, there is a certain concern due to the already known facts in Argentina, a country that has established many import restrictions, directly affecting the industrial gaming sector.
