Groupe Partouche aims to increase its slot machines to 500 following the unanimous approval from the municipal council of Saint-Amand les Eaux for the continuation of the licence to operate the city’s casinos for a further 20 years.

Gaming Arts has reached an ‘important placement milestone’ with more than 500 units installed across the US.

Last year, Gaming Arts saw the installation of its first slot machines at the Valley View Casino in California. Yet momentum is set to continue in 2021 and beyond with a ‘deep product pipeline’ apparently in place. 

“Needless to say, it’s been a very difficult year for everyone,” commented Mike Dreitzer, president of Gaming Arts. “From the beginning of this crisis, our focus has been on helping our customers, employees and communities as much as possible, while using the time wisely to position Gaming Arts for meaningfully growth within the gaming industry in 2021.”

Last month Gaming Arts revealed its newly approved, patent pending, HaloTop wheel cabinet, including the introduction of a number of new games.

Coming in the second half of next year is Gaming Arts’ new vertical cabinet, the VertX Grand. This new cabinet has a 49″ crystal-clear portrait display. Gaming Arts plans to further expand its new VertX cabinet line with new platform form factors later in 2021 and 2022.

“Through immense talent, hard work and dedication, Gaming Arts has developed a deep and diverse game library to help us earn greater and greater floor share in Casinos across North America,” commented Jean Venneman, Gaming Art’s chief commercial officer

“With many more titles approved, these unique and compelling games continue to roll out each day to more and more jurisdictions with great success.”

The Company has also been active in creating new slot products for the Historic Horse Racing machine space, new interactive entries as well as a suite of UVC light disinfection products specifically designed to make casinos and casino products safer for players and staff everywhere.

David Colvin, CEO and founder of Gaming Arts, commented: “During the COVID-19 crisis, our R&D efforts have greatly accelerated across the board, resulting in a vast library of approved games and new products in the pipeline. Coupled with the resurgence of our traditional Keno and Bingo businesses, we are positioned well to deliver a full array of solutions to casino floors everywhere in 2021.”
