AGEM INDEX The AGEM Index rose by 167.62 points to 1,874.77 in July 2026, a 9.8 per cent increase from the prior month. Compared to one year ago, the index declined by 0.8 per cent, or 15.00 points. During the latest month, five of the nine AGEM Index companies reported stock price increases, which resulted in six positive contributions and three negative contributions to the index. The largest positive contributor to the monthly index was Konami Corp., whose 16.8 per cent increase in stock price led to a 108.32-point gain. Aristocrat Leisure saw its stock price increase by 4.6 per cent, leading to a 49.60-point increase for the index. The largest negative contributor to the index was Inspired Entertainment, whose 16.6 per cent decrease resulted in a 0.91-point loss.
AGEM MEETING UPDATE 1 Following the June 15 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that skill games are illegal under state law and subject to both the Gaming Act and Crimes Code, the decision was stayed for 120 days. AGEM is currently monitoring whether the legislature will act before the stay expires in mid-October, though no legislative activity has occurred to date and a distributed gaming market was not included in the recent budget. In the meantime, AGEM will be monitoring the situation and will update members as more information becomes available.
2 AGEM has been working with the Nevada Gaming Control Board Technology Division on modernisation initiatives, including updates to outdated progressive-product regulations. Te Board approved the proposed regulation change at its July meeting and the Nevada Gaming Commission placed the item on its August agenda for final consideration and potential adoption, with AGEM continuing to use the process as a vehicle for supplier policy improvements.
3 AGEM, along with the American Gaming Association and other trade associations, is actively engaged in prediction-market issues that could disrupt state-, federal- and tribal-regulated gaming frameworks. AGEM has submitted comment letters, participated in coalition letters, and supported amicus efforts in key litigation, with the expectation that the issue may remain unresolved and will be ongoing for many months.
4 G2E Event Vice President Korbi Carrison gave an update presentation to AGEM members ahead of the show, taking place at the end of September. She shared
26
that G2E momentum is building, with attendee registration pacing slightly ahead of last year, and exhibitors are encouraged to register teams as soon as possible. Tis year will see a stronger on-site experience through G2E Now (which replaces the show App), a refreshed Exhibitor Hub, G2E Pro – a new registration tier, expanded meeting and networking spaces, and new features including the Business Solutions and Tech Zone and Expo Hall Meeting Suites. On-site registration logistics are being adjusted around Venetian construction without reducing kiosk capacity, while the education programme is also taking shape with 83 core sessions, 18 iGaming Hub sessions, and keynote announcements expected soon. Te Good Neighbor Pledge remains a key focus, reinforcing respectful, business-first conduct across the show floor.
