Euro Games Technology’s – EGT partners with the largest operator in Hungary
Euro Games Technology’s products were chosen by the biggest operator Las Vegas Casino Group in Hungary, owning the exclusive rights for Budapest with licenses for five casinos. After the 2012 ban on the street slot machines and the doubling of granted casino licenses, the gaming industry in the country marked one of the most remarkable market growths in Europe. More than 100,000 players are expected to visit the newly opened Corvin Sétány, Atlantis, Sofitel Budapest, Atrium EuroCenter. In March, the fifth casino of the operator, Tropicana, will be also up and running.
147 slot machines and 4 roulettes, provided by EGT, became the centerpiece of the brand new casinos, and offered tons of ways of entertainment. The Premier Series P-24/24 Up comprises 98 of the cabinets, featuring multigame mixes Multi-3 and Multi-4. There are also 45 Vega Vision+ slant top and upright machines with game libraries Multi-2 and Multi-4. The progressive jackpot system Cat 4 Cash comes as a 4-cabinet configuration and the four Vega Series R8 automated roulettes provide 8 gaming places each.
“With this installation EGT has reached a 22% market share in Budapest,” commented Csaba Pardi, EGT Sales Manager for Hungary, Austria, Poland, and Sweden. “Our success stems from the fact that the operator is familiar with the Vega Vision+ cabinets and has a positive experience with our products and services. This time most of the machines are making their first appearance in the country, namely the Premier Series cabinets and the Cat 4 Cash jackpot system, and expectations are great. The installation was flawless, but only time will let our products prove their potential and reliability.”
EGT has prepared 19 more P-24/24 Up machines, 12 Vega Vision+ slant top cabinets, and one Vega Series R8 roulette for the upcoming opening of the investor’s fifth casino. “We hope that our partnership with Las Vegas Casino Group will continue to be mutually beneficial. It is no secret that, in the past few years, EGT expanded its portfolio considerably, and that was clearly noticed by our Hungarian partner,” added Mr. Pardi. “Our plan is to provide new games to the already installed products, and, possibly, to add new models to the existing ones.”

Betway Bulgaria officially launches, offers live and bet-builder options
Another company has officially launched its activities in the growing niche of online betting in Bulgaria. But here we are not just talking about another operator licensed by national institutions, but about a leading brand worldwide. Betway is one of the largest bookmakers in Europe and globally, and the fact that it already offers its services in Bulgaria speaks positively about the development of the gambling business in the country.
Indications of an increase in the size of the industry appeared last year, when several operators received a permit to operate under Bulgarian jurisdiction. It is unlikely that this process will end with the official launch of betway bulgaria, rather the brand entering the country can be perceived by international operators as a positive assessment of the market in Bulgaria. What can we find at Betway besides the obvious – increased competition and of course more choice for consumers?
What do we find in the sports section?
Sports betting – this is the leading sector of the company, which started operations in 2006. The brand is associated with a number of teams in Europe such as Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Leicester, Alaves, Belenenses, Werder, etc. Of course, the top championships in Europe are present in the latest betting platform, but that’s not all. Betway offers the opportunity to make predictions at less popular UEFA championships. The fans of the Bulgarian championship have options too. All matches of the First League are present in the bookmaker’s menu, and are offered with dozens of choices for each of them.
Real-time bets and long-term combinations
Live bets are a big thrill for many players. This option is present at Betway, and this also applies to the mobile version, of course. It is not difficult to detect current events – they come first when loading the platform. And with them the bookmaker really comes up with interesting offers, some of which are rare on the Bulgarian market. The outcome of the bets become clear in literally seconds if the next goal market or one of the performance options is selected.
In addition, the company accepts predictions with a much longer horizon. It is now standard to bet on who will be the champion in England, Spain, Italy or Germany. However, there are also specific markets and selections for certain teams – will Barcelona take the trophy this season, will Liverpool reach the final in at least one of the tournaments in which it participates, etc. And if users don’t find what they’re looking for in these offers, they can always turn to the betting menu. The bet-builder is still limited to one match, from which we can choose two or more selections until the desired odds are formed. This is the most appropriate way to optimize the bet according to personal preferences and therefore it is increasingly preferred by the players.
Betway’s first steps on the Bulgarian market are impressive. And this is just the beginning, we can expect even more in the near future.
