For several years now, the best-kept secret in gaming suppliers was AGS, formerly American Gaming Systems, about the quality and performance of their products. Well that time is over now, as a recent IPO for the company has made them the toast of the Strip. David Lopez, the president & CEO, explains how a disciplined growth strategy built up the company and attracted the attention of investment giant Apollo Global Management, which took them public. Chief Marketing Officer Julia Boguslawski reveals how the AGS slot products and a relatively recent entrance into the table game market have become the foundation of a company with great products, a talented and deep management team and loyal customers. Lopez and Boguslawski sat down with GGB Publisher Roger Gros and Editor Frank Legato at the AGS headquarters in Las Vegas in January.
