Yana Mihaleva, Director Central America and the Caribbean at EGT: “In 2024, we reaffirmed our leadership positions in the region in both the land-based and online sectors”
Apr 09, 2025Interview with Yana Mihaleva, Director Central America and the Caribbean at EGT
Ms. Mihaleva, you are the Director of EGT’s office in Panama, responsible for Central America and the Caribbean, where the company is among the market leaders. Tell us more about the most significant installations you have made in the last 12 months.
I am glad to share that we remained true to tradition last year and carried out numerous installations in the region. We had the opportunity to strengthen our valuable long-term partnerships with local key players. Among them, Pasha Global in Suriname, BBT and Cirsa in Panama stood out in particular. Each of these operators enriched their casino floors with over 100 of our bestselling slot cabinets, equipped with EGT’s most successful multigame and jackpot products.
In addition, we expanded our presence in Curacao by installing 80 machines in the last 12 months.
Sint Maarten was the first market where we accomplished a WAP installation, thanks to which now the guests to Atlantis’ local gaming venues can try their luck with Bell Link 1. We are also going to launch a WAP installation with BBT in Panama very soon. At first, we are planning to install 40 machines with Bell Link 2, and by the end of the year, we expect the number of the linked cabinets to reach and even exceed 100. We are also planning another WAP installation in Jamaica, including a combination of Bell Link 1 and 2, which is scheduled for next month.
Which products have been generating the most interest among players in the region?
It won’t surprise anyone that our best product for the past year was the Bell Link jackpot with its Bell Link 1 and 2 multigames. Since its official launch 3 years ago, this product has consistently been among our top performers, continuing to gain popularity among players not only in the region but also globally.
Our latest multigame series, Supreme Selection, is also performing very well. We have recently installed the Mega Supreme Fruits Selection mix in Suriname, and it has been demonstrating excellent results.
Your successes in the land-based sector are really impressive. You also have integrations of EGT Digital’s products in the region. Can you share with us what is their performance?
EGT Digital’s iGaming solutions are also very popular among the local gaming audience. Over the past year, we have integrated our slot games into a number of betting sites in Suriname, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. I am happy to say that operators and players highly appreciate our gaming content everywhere, and the number of online casinos offering it is constantly growing.
How do you assess EGT’s participation in this year’s ICE, which took place in Barcelona? Was it fruitful for the region you are responsible for?
I would assess the company’s performance as very fruitful overall. We achieved very good results for Central America and the Caribbean in particular.
Our latest series of slot cabinets Supreme was a great success. The S 32-32 St received extremely positive feedback, and the first large-scale orders were placed during the event. Our partners from Pasha Global will supply their casinos with 160 machines of the model, and Amenable Habitat Limited Club Royal Caribbean will also install 60 cabinets.
We have also strengthened our successful cooperation with another of our long-term partners - Princes Group, which placed a significant order for 350 machines for the Caribbean.
Last but not least, Laxford will enhance its customers’ choice in Suriname with 45 EGT cabinets, with their number expected to double by the end of the year.
What’s next for EGT Panama by the end of the year?
I think we have a dynamic and interesting 2025 ahead of us, filled with both many installations and high-potential exhibitions. As I mentioned, we started the year off strong with ICE Barcelona, and I really hope we can keep that momentum going. The next show we will attend is SAGSE Panama, taking place from May 6th to 8th. Of course, we will not miss G2E Las Vegas in the second half of the year, which is also one of our most important and traditionally strong events.
Alejandro Mosquera, Director of EGT Spain: “The key to our success is EGT’s ability to adapt its products to the regulations of each Autonomous Community”
Mar 28, 2025Interview with Alejandro Mosquera, Director of EGT Spain
Mr. Mosquera, EGT’s gaming equipment is very popular in Spain, with 2024 being a particularly fruitful year for the local office. What is the key to success in a country like Spain, where the autonomous communities have different regulations?
One of the keys to our success lies in our ability to adapt our products to the market and to the specific regulations of each Autonomous Community, which is becoming increasingly important. We have worked to be more flexible and faster in meeting all legal and technical requirements, as well as player preferences. Additionally, our focus on innovation and quality has allowed us to offer solutions that not only comply with regulations but also exceed the expectations of local operators and gaming audience.
Please tell us more about the most important installations you have recently accomplished. Are there any upcoming large deliveries or interesting projects you would like to share with us?
Recently, we have installed our new Gods & Kings Link Jackpot for gaming halls at important clients such as Grupo Orenes and Trébol in various locations in the Murcia region. We are closely monitoring the implementation of Be United, which will be a major quality boost, bringing together this new product with our bestseller, Bell Link Plus, which continues to expand to different regions across the country.
As a novelty, the transition to the Exciter IV platform represents a true advancement in our gaming solution portfolio, thanks to its graphical and processing capabilities, allowing us to have more efficient and robust installed products.
What are the products from EGT's portfolio that arouse the greatest interest among Spanish operators and players? Which of the new developments do you think have the most potential?
Among the products that generate the most interest are our multigame and progressive jackpots in the gaming hall segment, such as Gods and Kings Link, Bell Link, and the linked jackpot system Be United. These developments have been very well received for their ability to offer exciting and diverse gaming experiences. Regarding the latest solutions from our portfolio, the new Zhao Cai Shuang Yu progressive, which we showcased as a novelty at ICE this year housed in the spectacular Phoenix 50 V cabinet, has great potential to become a market favorite.
Regarding the casino area, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi, our multi-level solution combining different bonuses, will undoubtedly be our leading product for this year.
Finally, the emergence of our EGT brand in the digital market with the X-Nave platform will be a key differential aspect for us this year in the national market, which will consolidate our position not only in the land-based sector but also online.
Last year, EGT's office in Spain moved to a new location in Madrid. How did you come to this decision and what advantages has it brought?
The decision to move to a new location in Madrid responds to the need to accommodate our growth and improve the operational efficiency. The new location provides us with a larger and more modern space, which facilitates a better collaboration between our teams while enabling us to give our clients more agile service. In addition, being in a strategic location in Madrid guarantees us greater proximity to our partners and key clients, who are always welcome to our showroom where they can see and test all the new products from our portfolio.
How do you evaluate your participation in ICE Barcelona? Has it been successful for you and your team? What do you think about the relocation of the event to Spain?
Our participation in ICE Barcelona has been a resounding success. It provided us with an excellent opportunity to present our innovations and strengthen our relationships with clients and partners. The relocation of the event to Spain has been very positive, as it positions the country as an important center of the gaming industry in Europe and facilitates the participation of local stakeholders.
EGT Spain has recently been distinguished with the prestigious 'Company of the Year' award from the authoritative local media AZARplus. Congratulations! What does this recognition mean to you?
This prize is a great honor and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. It motivates us to continue raising our standards and keep offering the products and services with the highest quality in the Spanish market.
What are your goals and plans for development for the rest of the year?
This year, we plan to expand our presence in the Spanish market by introducing new gaming solutions and enhancing our collaborations with local operators, especially in regions where we previously had no presence. Over the past two years, we have started to boost the brand in the gaming hall market, leading to increased demand for our products and, most importantly, growing trust from our customers, who encourage us to continue along this path.
We are also focused on strengthening our digital offering to meet emerging market trends. Additionally, we continue to invest in research and development to ensure that our developments remain innovative and relevant to our customers.
