The agreement sees Spain’s leading online and land-based suppliers joining forces to present international operators with a compelling suite of innovative gambling products and services.
R Franco, who will integrate Mediatech’s IRIS platform and its 1,500 games, will now take a majority stake in the combined entity, with Mediatech’s management remaining in place at their headquarters in Madrid.

Euro Games Technology has signed a distribution agreement with the Slovak operator Top Game – a company with extensive experience and established brands in each gaming sector across Slovakia
EGT and Top Game have joined forces in Slovakia to present a range of VLT products for the local casino sector
SLOVAKIA CASINO SUPPLIER
EGT has announced the signing of a distribution agreement with the Slovakia-based operator, Top Game, which will now be undertaking the sales of EGT VLT products on the local market.
Te partnership was unveiled and celebrated at a vibrant party where EGTs VLTs products were shown for a first time in Slovakia, including the slot cabinets P-24/24 Up and P-24/24 St Slim with dual-sided Rainbow jackpot panel and a VEGA jackpot controller. For a maximum impact they were equipped with specially created multi-game mixes: Red Game VLT and Blue Game VLT, each combination comprised of 20 different games.
“It is hard to penetrate the gaming market of Slovakia,” said Csaba Pardi, sales manager of Demar KFT, a distributor for EGT in Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden. “At present there are 20,000 gaming machines installed in the country and their number cannot be raised because of the current restriction on new licenses. Tis remarkably intensifies the competition between gaming equipment
manufacturers that must rely entirely on the high quality and performance of their products. Tese are the only arguments that could persuade operators that it is in their interest to change their “not so efficient” machines with the models of EGT. It is also important, of course, to find the appropriate partner to present your products in an apt way and to cooperate on launch across the local gaming floors. We believe that Top Game is the right choice for us in this regard.”
Following the official debut of EGT’s VLT machines, the company reports enormous interest among the local gaming elite. Te unveiling took place on December, 2015 with the first installation of six P-24/24 Up and four P- 24/24 St Slim cabinets in Cezar Club, Bratislava.
At present over 130 machines from the Bulgaria- based specialist have entered different gaming establishments in Slovakia. EGT will continue diversifying its products for the local market, planning and is planning to present its complete portfolio in near future.
