The news came this week from the Fantini Gaming Report, quoting as its source Todd Eilers of Eilers and Krejcik Gaming.

The installation of the VLTs has been long-delayed in Greece by a combination of circumstances, but Eilers was confident that installations will begin early in the new year with a first phase of 5,500 machines from IGT.

There will also be a similar number from SGMS and 4,000 Inspired terminals.

The lottery company will run 16,500 of the machines itself with the remainder licensed to several other operators.
