At this year's G2E event, FBM will be introducing what its Vice-President Renato Almeida called a “significant release”: the Phantom Xtreme, “a sophisticated new designed gaming machine”. G2E attendees will be able to meet with FBM's team at booth #2616 at the Sands Expo and Conventions Center in Las Vegas next week.

Which are your expectations about this edition of the Global Gaming Expo?

The event is a reference for gaming companies attracting operators coming from all over the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa.
FBM is particularly excited about G2E this year to meet many of our customers and successfully present new products on a global basis.

Will you be introducing new products at the show?

FBM is always committed to deliver quality products and we have prepared a lot of launching for the G2E 2016. The major ones consists of a significant release: a sophisticated new designed gaming machine, Phantom Xtreme.

The machine spotlight spectaculars features as the brand-new curved round-top model, interactive led lighting, ergonomic setups, USB port and dual-play buttom that will make players’ excitement levels be elevated to new heights. The gaming machine also incorporates unique design elements improving better alignment between machines at the bingo hall.
For the games portfolio we featured the new multi-level collective bonus PIG BOOM, and three other bingo titles: Arctic Blast, Bingolicious and Cash O’clock.

Now that Brazil's edging closer to gambling legalization, what are your expectations for that particular market?

The world’s leading gaming operators are already noting the potential of Latin America markets and some of them are looking particularly to Brazil.

It's been a long road for Brazil, and there's still a long way to go. Gaming regulation is a complicated matter and it takes time to get it right.

Of course, it will create a side effect in nearby markets such as Uruguay and Paraguay, but this also can be an opportunity for those countries, once the highlights will be in South America.

What is the next step for FBM?

We've made great progress in the last two years in all FBM markets, as a result of significant investments, high quality products and technology. We've built a solid reputation as one of the leading gaming companies in the market.

We currently have some very interesting projects that we expect will come to fruition next year: to continue our expansion in Mexico North America and Europe.
