EGT is proud to announce one more large-scale installation in Africa. Now, the Caesars Casino in Kinshasa, Congo, owned by the leading operator Gaming IQ, is entirely supplied with gaming equipment from the Bulgarian manufacturer.

The guests of the establishment have the opportunity to enjoy top-performing developments from EGT’s portfolio, including the well-known Premier Series slot cabinets P 24-24 Up, P 27-27 St Slim, P 42 V St Curved, as well as the G 27-27 St model of the General Series, for which this is the first installation in the country. The company’s rich gaming variety is represented by the multigame mixes of the Collection Series. In addition the players can hit even bigger winnings by trying their luck with the jackpots Premium Link, Lady’s Cards, as well as the absolute bestseller Bell Link. EGT’s casino management system Spider is also implemented to ensure that the organization of the daily activities on the casino floor will run smoothly.

“I am very happy that we have carried out this installation, which is the largest we have done so far in Congo,” said Lilia Georgieva, Director of EGT’s office in Tanzania. “I would like to thank Gaming IQ for once again placing their trust in us and accomplishing together another ambitious initiative that allows the gaming audience in Kinshasa to have access to state-of-the-art casino products with a proven reputation on a global level. I believe that we will quickly establish ourselves as leaders in the local market, given the excellent performance of our machines and games to date and especially the impressive results of Bell Link. By the end of the year, we plan to make installations in two more establishments of Gaming IQ in Uganda and Angola, and we will continue with more in 2025.”
