At G2E Las Vegas 2023 Evolution will showcase its world-leading portfolio of innovative online casino products from its seven Group brands — Evolution, Ezugi, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City and DigiWheel.

Following the Group’s inaugural appearance at the 2022 event, this year will see Evolution with an even bigger presence, on stand #4430 in the iGaming section of the show. Visitors to the Evolution stand will be treated to a host of new and soon-to-launch games from across the Group’s brands, which together offer an unrivalled choice of online live casino, live game show, RNG and online slots titles and solutions for iGaming operators of all sizes.

Amongst the main attractions in live casino will be two new global releases from the Evolution brand: Red Door Roulette — an innovative mash-up of two of Evolution’s most successful titles ever, Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette — and Video Poker, a live casino version of an old favourite that offers the ultimate fusion of nostalgia and player-focused modern gaming technology.

Evolution’s eagerly-awaited Crazy Time live game show itself, and its sister game show title, Crazy Coin Flip, both set for imminent US launch, are sure to be big crowd-pullers, too. A digital Crazy Time spinning money wheel will be a major focal point on the stand, while Crazy Coin Flip, which blends the best of RNG slots into a uniquely thrilling live game show experience, will demonstrate Evolution’s innovative fusing of live online gaming and slots action.

iGaming operators looking for the latest and best in online slots will not be disappointed, either. Evolution’s NetEnt brand will present Finn and The Candy Spin, an exciting sequel to the NetEnt classic, Finn and The Swirly Spin, while the Group’s other slot brands — Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, and Nolimit City — will all premiere new slots titles at the show.

Jacob Claesson, Evolution CEO North America, said: “We are thrilled to be back at G2E Las Vegas and we are especially looking forward to launching our new live game shows such as Crazy Time and Crazy Coin Flip in the US for the first time. These titles have been incredibly successful in Europe and other markets and we’re confident that US players will absolutely love the fun and entertaining experience of taking part live and online. Clearly, North America is a massively important market for Evolution, and North American operators will see these and many more new and upcoming releases on our even bigger and better 2023 stand. We truly have something for everyone. Not only will attendees see classic and all-new games to suit all player types and operators in the North American market, but there are also global releases for international operators, plus lots to interest operators in Latin America, as well.”

Gaming Executives Positive on Current Business Conditions, Cautious on Future Growth Expectations

Published

on

 

Overall Balance Sheet Health, Access to Credit Continue to Improve 

In the face of slowing revenue expansion, gaming industry leaders continue to hold an overall positive view of the current business situation, with a notable improvement in credit conditions, according to the latest American Gaming Association (AGA) Gaming Industry Outlook.

The majority of respondents (88%) view the current state of the gaming industry as either good or satisfactory. Meanwhile, executives have a more conservative outlook on future business conditions, with respondents split on whether they expect conditions to improve over the next three-to-six months (3% net positive) and many expecting a decrease in customer activity (28% net negative).

“After years of very strong consumer gaming spending growth, expectations around customer activity over the next three to six months have cooled considerably,” said AGA Vice President of Research David Forman. “Still, gaming businesses remain well positioned, with executives touting strong balance sheets and more viewing access to credit as easy than restrictive for the first time in two years.”

Gaming Executive Panel

Since Q1, gaming executives’ sentiment has shifted, with a greater number of respondents now expecting a decline in customer activity over the next three to six months (28% net negative, up from 4% net negative in Q1). Despite this, panelists foresee improvements in overall balance sheet health (34% net positive).

Additionally, more executives reported access to credit as easy (19%) rather than restrictive (3%) for the first time in two years, and fewer cite interest rates as a major limiting factor than in the spring.

Hotel (56%) and food and beverage facilities (56%) continue to be the main and growing focus of capital investment among operators, followed by live entertainment (28%) and casino floor slots (22%).

Meanwhile, gaming equipment suppliers now believe their pace of capital investment and game sales will decelerate (13% net negative).

These expectations are impacted by evolving macroeconomic challenges, with uncertainty of the economic environment vaulting to the top of executive concerns (56%, up from 34% in Q1), followed by state regulatory concerns (31%), and inflationary or interest rate concerns and geopolitical risk (both 34%).

The Current Conditions Index 

The Current Conditions Index for Q3 2024 was 97.3, which is consistent with real annualized contraction of 2.7 percent. The Current Conditions Index measures real economic activity in the industry, as measured by gaming revenue, employment and employee wages and salaries.

The Future Conditions Index 

The Future Conditions Index, a leading indicator of changes in industry conditions, measured 98.9 in Q3. This indicates an environment in which real economic activity in the gaming sector, after controlling for underlying inflation, is expected to moderately decrease over the next six months (1.1% annualized rate).
