Gaming machine manufacturer Casino Technology of Bulgaria was making its debut at the Macau show.

"We are new to the market but we have launched a range of innovative games for it, so we have good expectations," said corporate PR and advertising manager Rositsa Stefanova.

"We hope to find new clients and new business. We have a lot of meetings lined up."

Leading the new games was Golden Bird, a high volatility game with an ancient Chinese theme. With 100 winning lines, a range of features include a whole screen filled with the same symbol to tempt the player with the chance to win big prizes. It is Asian themed and very much aimed at Asian players.

Bush Explorer is a 243-line game based on the reel power concept, enabling the player to choose the number of reels he wants to play.

"If the player wants to gamble hard, he can," said Stefanova. "If he wants to take it easy, he can also. Players will like having that choice. There is a wide range of players out there and we try to cater for them all."

Steve Surch, group director of international sales and market development, said: "This is a huge market and we are a global supplier. We have a plan for the next five years and are currently looking for Asian distributors, as well as making contact with all the major operators."
