Were you able to establish business connections with African operators at ICE?

In Africa -except in the North-, we work with TCS John Huxley. During ICE, we had the pleasant surprise to see a great number of African operators coming to booth, looking to know more about us and our products.

How do you see the scenario changing in the Latin American market, after the great changes experienced in 2015 in Colombia, Argentina and other central jurisdictions?

We're hoping for a change in scenario. In Mexico, we're waiting for a new legislation that clarifies the picture for table gaming to be passed. Fournier is also seeing positive development in Colombia. In the case of Argentina, the import barriers deeply affected our business in 2015. But as the landscape seems to be changing, we're looking forward to seeing positive results in 2016.
