"CT Gaming is expanding to new markets in Europe, Africa, and Latin America this year"

What were CT Gaming's focus, highlights, and novelties at ICE London 2020? Have you met your key expectations and goals for the show? 

ICE 2020 was a very successful show for CT Gaming and a great start of the year. We officially launched and announced our rebranded identity with a focus on our main product divisions – land-based slot machines and jackpots, online games and platform, and casino management and jackpot systems. Our presentation included an array of diverse product offerings spanning the land-based and the online segment, broadening the selection of multi games with new game packs from the popular series Speed King and Gamopolis, presenting exciting game concepts with new multi-game offerings for every casino floor. Among our land-based products presented, this year under the spotlight was Mega Jack 2020, which was specially launched for the 20th anniversary of our company. The measure for success comes from accessing not only the positive feedback received during the show but also from the multiple contracts and potential deal agreements made during the show. We are happy to announce that CT Gaming is expanding to a few new markets in Europe, Africa, and Latin America this year. 

This year we marked a special milestone for our systems division with the highest number of installations of our Casino Management System and the connection of thousands of machines across continents. We also launched our live games module and TITO functionality for live game tables, allowing the casinos to have fully functioning monitoring on their gaming floors; including consolidated reports between live games and slots. We have presented many new advanced features and functionalities of the Casino Management System RHINO, as well as integration with counting machines and cash terminals. RHINO enables the casinos to offer all verticals of gaming with an ease that makes the control and monitoring of the gaming floor easy. The feedback from the customers related to the new and improved functionalities showed we are right on target with the constantly developing needs of the casino floors. 

The Interactive Division of CT Gaming took a very prominent part of the ICE stand presentation since the online gaming revenues and business almost tripled last year. CT Interactive games are now part of hundreds of online casinos. We presented new HTML5 game releases with new UI, new jackpot concepts, and new mathematical models. Delivering great betting experience, the HTML5 gaming portfolio of CT Gaming drew a lot of attention to new online operators. With an enhanced portfolio, CT Gaming Interactive will offer to its customers not only great games but also a modern white-label online and sports betting platform functionality based on the Leopard online platform. Based on the interest generated, we expect this year to be much more successful for our interactive division. 

What was the feedback from attendees, especially regarding your recent rebranding, and products such as Mega Jack 2020 and Speed King 2? 

Our rebranding was undertaken to express the realignment of the vision of the company to move forward; attuned to the new technology trends and with the new generation of customers in mind. CT Gaming is expressing the transition to the future and was accepted as a natural step that elevates the company to the next level of its development and the new market requirements. Moreover, we are very excited by the excellent acceptance of our new products and happy to move forward to provide to our customers the service and support they need to increase their revenues.

The new release includes a variety of games with unique math models ranging from the best concepts underlying the most successful games in the original Mega Jack to brand new concepts fit to taste of the new generation of players.

Mega Jack 2020 comes to the casino floor with the latest upgraded models of the EZ Modulo series slot cabinets – a cabinet that proved to be one of the highly acclaimed and most flexible products on the casino floors in recent years. Refined in every aspect, the new upgraded models of EZ Modulo provide new design features and many ergonomic improvements - changes that not only make the cabinet more attractive, but also improve the serviceability and enhances durability on the floor.
