Products that have been a long time in development for the Americas markets “are now a reality,” said the company’s David Orrick (pictured). “Nothing happens quickly here – you have to build your position step by step. North America is not one jurisdiction, it is many.

“We think the products we have developed are great, but it is now down to the ultimate test – whether players vote with their money. But we have a lot of confidence that this will be the case.”

The list of new products for the American market includes the company’s first linked progressive jackpot. “It’s here and it’s ready for slot floors,” said Orrick. “Let’s now see if our belief is matched by the people that matter – the players.”
