EGT opens Czech office

Gaming machines supplier EGT (Euro Games Technology), has opened an office in the Czech Republic.

The Prague office will provide sales and service facilities to the Czech market, including the border regions that are considered rather different to the local market.

Ivan Grigorov and Adam Vijdak, who have both previously managed casino companies, are general managers at EGT’s new outlet, leading a team of 13 professionals.

“The regional gaming market is well developed and saturated and all domestic manufacturers are already established,” said Vajdak. “Compared to some other countries, however,  it lacks enough presence of world-wide known brands and that is where we find our potential. The gaming regulations and requirements are very strict and particular and are a serious entrance barrier for all new providers, but we are accustomed to fulfilling exacting criteria and are confident that will be able to achieve satisfying results in the next several years.

“We will mainly rely on EGT’s main R&D department with whom we cooperate closely in tailoring our products to the local specifics, especially when it comes to the software. Our major advantage is the vast experience we have accumulated from our global operations, the speed of service we achieved and the good knowledge we have firsthand for our customers and players, as me and my partner Ivan Grigorov have been in the casino business for many years.”

Said Grigorov: “The Czech market is mainly oriented on slant top and upright cabinets and fruit-themed games and EGT has much to offer in those categories.”  He added that the company plans to install 300 gaming machines in the next three months in some of the best locations in the market.
