Scientific Games takes the lead

With the Bally and WMS mergers complete, Scientific Games has become the new leader in North American slot machine sales.

According to the Eilers-Fantini Quarterly Slot Survey, Scientific Games had 31 per cent ship share among respondents compared to 25 per cent for historic leader IGT, a gain of one point for SG and a loss of eight for IGT.

The industry’s largest survey once again hit record participation with 379 casinos representing 400,000 slot machines globally and 345,000 machines in North America, or 35.5 per cent of the market.
