Systems company DRGT now has well over 2,000 machines managed by its system across 30 sites in Africa.
The growing number of African countries covered includes South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Malawi and the Seychelles.
The major challenge faced by system providers in Africa is the massive range of old machines in the market. DRGT supports all these legacy machines using serial communication protocols that range from SAS 3 to SAS 6, ASP and more recently Gamma.
In the Seychelles, DRGT has completed a turnkey installation at the Gran Kaz Casino in Victoria. Also, in conjunction with Sun International, Simplicity Gaming Solutions and Gold Club, DRGT has helped to revive the popularity of wide-area progressives in the South African market.
Another first for DRGT is the South African electronic bingo terminal market. Its first customer, Boss Gaming, is working with DRGT on a phased approach to roll out the many benefits of the DRGT system across its Bingo Royale branded sites in Eastern Cape.
DRGT CEO Jurgen De Munck said: “It just goes to show what is possible when a company brings true innovation that offers real player and operator added value. We are seeing that operators are changing their mind-set and that gaming management systems are now becoming a great tool to drive revenue and not just a necessity.”
