Slot Sector Results Provide Bright Spot
Led by slot suppliers, gaming equipment manufacturers logged a sales increase last year, despite the international economic downturn affecting other market segments.
While casino operators across most of the industry reported declining revenues last year, gaming equipment manufacturers provided one of the few bright spots in casino industry revenues.
According to the American Gaming Association’s “State of the States report, equipment manufacturers logged a 6.7 percent increase in sales for 2008, compared to the previous year, with overall revenues of $12.7 billion.
According to the report, new technology in the slot sector accounted for the rise in sales, as well as new casino venues in several parts of the country.
Analysts say server-based gaming, which will debut in force next year at CityCenter in Las Vegas, will spell more good news for slot manufacturers.
