Euro Games Technology (EGT) is the absolute leader in Bulgaria and an established brand globally. To learn more about the many EGT activities we interviewed Zornitsa Boncheva, EGT Regional Manager for Italy.
“I am proud to say that EGT is a leader not only in Bulgaria, but also globally. Our company – Zornitsa Boncheva explained to us – is among the leading manufacturers and suppliers of gaming equipment with a very rich portfolio, including cabinets and slot games, multiplayer products and casino management systems.
EGT currently has 28 international offices and its products are present in more than 100 markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America.
EGT Digital is our company focused on the iGaming industry. It offers a wide range of online gaming solutions, including casinos and instant games, sports betting, as well as our own internally developed all-in-one betting platform called X-Nave, which provides the technology and tools operators need to build a successful iGaming business.
EGT Digital has developed very rapidly and today its products are present in more than 50 markets around the world and their number is constantly increasing."
EGT boasts a production of slots for the land market with exceptional results. What are the most successful titles?
“We are very satisfied with the excellent results demonstrated by our products in all the markets in which they are presented. The jackpot Bell Link by EGT is among the most successful. It is quickly becoming a player favorite at every casino where it is installed, making it an absolute bestseller in our company's portfolio.
Inspired by the performance of Bell Link and driven by our desire to offer players the opportunity to enjoy more similar developments, we have enriched the series with 2 new products: Bell Link 2 e Bell Link Boost. They will be available on the markets very soon.
Bell Link has an online equivalent of the same name, which is one of EGT Digital's best products.
The multigames of the Series are also very popular General of EGT, which contain both brand new proposals and already well-known titles. Lately the series has been complemented by several new mixes, based on the latest platform Exciter IV, which immerse players in the exciting gaming world of EGT slots, filled with numerous options to win and have fun.”
The new Italian regulations provide that the new concessions for online gaming will initially be granted for a minimum investment of 7 million euros. Do you think this offer is sustainable?
“An increase of more than 30 times is really important and will certainly have a profound impact on the structure of the online gaming market in Italy. As we know, the Ministry of Finance's estimate predicts that more than half of the current operators will not participate in the new tender. Others will certainly resort to mergers and acquisitions."
Can you tell us more about EGT Digital's X-Nave platform? What are its main features?
"X-Nave is the iGaming platform developed internally by EGT Digital and has 4 main modules: CRM Engine, Sports product, Casino aggregator e Payment gateway, each of which can be part of the complete solution or operate separately, as they allow integration with third-party vendor solutions.
CRM Engine provides a wide range of player management tools and bonus features, through which operators are able to extend player sessions, increase reactivation, increase loyalty and reduce bonus costs.
Sports product offers coverage of sports events, eSports, virtual games, with reliable real-time betting data, a large number of markets and industry-leading accuracy.
The casino aggregator features an impressive portfolio that gives access to more than 10.000 games across more than 110 providers and enables an immediate increase in revenue, operations and game offerings.
The payment gateway includes real-time reporting and monitoring, transaction and fee management, as well as an advanced engine for maximum efficiency and simple payment processing.”
The management of payments for the operator is in fact of fundamental importance, can you tell us more about the payment gateway?
“It enables end-to-end payment management through the user interface. The payment gateway allows the operation of all payment methods and their limits on payment pages, provides multiple integrations of various payment methods, reports and dashboards for analysis and is PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliant. It is a very flexible solution like the platform itself and is constantly being developed and enriched with new features."
What about cryptocurrencies?
“To keep up with trends and provide our customers with the most comprehensive set of options, X-Nave's payment gateway offers the ability to process cryptocurrency payments as well. This is done through external partners who connect to the respective blockchain and perform the conversion between crypto assets and fiat money.
Before any operator starts using such a service for deposits and withdrawals, – warns Zornitsa Boncheva – he should consider what the regulatory framework is for the specific market”.
