G3-247 Report SPAIN
regions. The arcade market in Spain is developing very fast. Before it was mainly dominated by mechanical reels and now they’re mainly video technology.
“Over the last four years revenue in Spain has dropped by 40 per cent in all land-based areas. It’s a difficult and very saturated market and machines numbers have been going down, but because of the crisis some legisla- tive bodies in the regions are now more open to looking at new legislation and products. So we try to offer new things, new technology and make use of the new possi- bilities in the Spanish market.”
Novomatic presented its Camping Cash, hybrid AWP for the traditional market at the Madrid show, plus the Novo Line arcade games and the Admiral III, which offers 15 games for the VLT sector.
Meanwhile E-Gaming, via Cocamatic, has also launched a new SBG multigame product, which is currently homologated for Murcia with testing in Aragon .
Urbain Thewissen commented: “A lot of regions have the same rules so it makes it much easier for develop- ment and each region is watching to see what the others are doing and copying their regulations. VLT will even- tually enter all the regions in Spain.
“Since 2013 we see operators are getting more confi- dence as the economy improves, so they are ready to invest again. Operators have more confidence in the future and if they invest it will be a knock-on effect.”
