Nairobi’s Simba Casino Upgrades Floor with EGT’s ‘General Series’ VIP Cabinets

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The African land-based market is often overlooked in global news, but Kenya remains a key jurisdiction. This installation is significant because it’s not just “machines”—it’s the full ecosystem. By installing the Spider CMS alongside the hardware, EGT is locking in a deeper operational relationship with Simba Casino. This “hardware + software” strategy is how major suppliers like EGT build long-term moats in emerging markets.

The Full Story

Simba Casino, one of Nairobi’s prominent gaming establishments, has completed a significant upgrade to its casino floor, partnering with Euro Games Technology (EGT) to install a suite of advanced hardware and management software.

The deal sees the arrival of EGT’s popular General Series cabinets, specifically the G 50-50 C VIP and G 55 C VIP models. These units are now live for guests, featuring the manufacturer’s high-definition General HD multigame mixes, including the Red, Blue, Green, and Fruits editions.

Upgrading the “Brain” of the Casino Beyond the slot machines, the partnership extends to the operational infrastructure of the venue. Simba Casino has installed Spider, EGT’s proprietary Casino Management System (CMS). The system is designed to streamline daily floor operations, covering accounting, security, and player tracking, while offering tools to enhance the guest experience through jackpots and bonusing.

Management Commentary David Maingi, Director of Simba Casino, noted that the decision was driven by EGT’s strong track record across the African continent:

“EGT’s gaming equipment is a preferred choice in a number of markets on the continent. The time has come for us to also try it out in our casino. From the very first days of the installation, we knew that we had made the right decision, as the results demonstrated so far have fully met, and even exceeded, our expectations.”

Zuzi Zeibig, Sales Manager at EGT, highlighted the strategic importance of the installation:

“I am very happy that our machines and games quickly won the hearts of their customers, having become one of the most sought-after products in the hall. This partnership is a step forward in achieving our goal to provide more and more players in Kenya and Africa as a whole with high-quality gaming solutions.”
