Continent 8 Technologies to exhibit at G2E Las Vegas


The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) is one of the biggest events on the calendar for Continent 8 Technologies, and the team is excited to be heading to Las Vegas once again. Continent 8 will use G2E to showcase its award-winning suite of innovative, reliable infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions that have seen us become the go-to partner for most operators and suppliers active in the market.


Continent 8 supports more than 85% of operators on the US Power Rankings 2023 with these companies taking advantage of its cutting-edge solutions that have been approved for use in 28 US states and counting. These states have helped to take Continent 8’s global connected network to 95+ locations and it is on track to surpass 100 locations before the end of the year. This puts the Continent 8 network among the 20 largest in the world.


The business has taken a fi rst-to-market approach in the US, and this has only been possible because of its 25 years of experience serving customers in highly regulated markets. Just as Continent 8 has done in other markets, in the US, it is working closely with regulators to help establish their frameworks from an infrastructure perspective. This ensures they are fi t for purpose and that Continent 8’s solutions are compliant from the get-go. This in turn allows its customers to go live from day one and leverage the tremendous advantage that comes with being among the fi rst to push their brands to players in any market. Continent 8 has invested heavily in its

solutions, including its regulated Gaming Cloud which is currently available in core states such as New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. In the Garden State, the company has established a pioneering data centre facility. It is located in Atlantic City inside the Atlantic City Convention Centre and is the only hosting site approved by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement that sits outside of a licensed casino. The company recently completed the stage three expansion of this facility, taking the total capacity to more than 15,000 sq ft with space for 120+ equipment racks. It also offers customers access to Continent 8’s global network and multi-state connectivity. While regulation and compliance are key concerns for operators and suppliers in the US, cybersecurity is just as much of a priority. The industry has seen some big attacks of late, in both the land-based and online space. Recent reports also show that the average cost of a data breach in 2023 is $4.45 million USD. That’s why it’s never been more important for organisations to ensure they have the necessary cybersecurity protections in place and Continent 8 provides these solutions via our Secure product suite. The only way to ensure resilience amid the rise in attacks being launched against the industry is to take a multi-layered approach that covers DDoS and WAAP protection as well as MDR/EDR and SIEM/SOC, all of which Continent 8 offers. Continent 8 has also been onboarding more talent and expertise to its team to ensure that the company can help its customers meet and defeat the cyber threats they face. If you’d like to know more about Continent 8’s managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and security solutions, make sure to stop by stand 4235 at G2E where members of the team will be on hand to showcase its products and talk about our services throughout the expo.
