Euro Games Technology (EGT) has opened an office in the Czech Republic. This new office will provide sales and service facilities to the Czech market.

Ivan Grigorov and Adam Vajdak are the General Managers at EGT’s Czech office. Leading a team of 13 professionals, they will endeavour to keep the high global EGT standards and to fulfill their mission to provide a top range of gaming content and products, aligned to the local specifics.

“The regional gaming market is well developed and saturated and all domestic manufacturers have already established good image. Compared to some other countries though it lacks enough presence of worldwide known brands where we find our potential. The gaming regulations and requirements are very strict and particular and are a serious entrance barrier for all new providers, but we are accustomed to fulfilling exacting criteria and are confident that will be able to achieve satisfying results in the next several years. For the purpose we will mainly rely on EGT’s main R&D department with which we cooperate closely in tailoring our products to the local specifics, especially when it comes to the software. Our major advantage is the vast experience we have accumulated from our global operations, the speed of service we achieved and the good knowledge we have firsthand for our customers and players, as me and my partner Mr. Grigorov have been in the casino business for many years not long ago,” Vajdak said.

The Czech office will provide the complete slot portfolio of EGT, as well as the products of EGT Multiplayer and the online games of EGT Interactive. Currently, the company offers the multigame mixes Green and Blue Collection, each of 12 diverse and highly appealing titles, and the cabinets P-24/24 Up, P-27/27 St Slim and P-27/32H St. Its near-future plans include the gradual expansion of its product proposals with machines and gaming content, based on clients’ expectations and players’ preferences.

“Czech market is mainly oriented to slant top and upright cabinets, as well as fruit-themed games and here EGT has a lot to present. In line with the domestic standards our products are modern and represent the high-end technologies, so we see them as the future of the local gaming industry. They were developed to maximize the comfort and were also designed for top level satisfaction of both operators and players. The mere slogan of EGT ‘We give more,’ speaks volumes,” Ivan Grigorov said.

The emphases of EGT’s professional approach in the country will be the maximisation of products’ performance. The company plans to install 300 gaming machines in the next 2–3 months in some of the best locations in the market.

“Unfortunately the COVID-19 crisis hit all industries, gaming included, slowing down our plans a bit. In Czech Republic the most common call during the state of emergency was ‘Together we will manage.’ Now the casino business is slowly returning to normality, so hopefully we will be able to say soon that we did manage together. So we will measure the success of our local office with the number of satisfied customers. This will be my priority and the mission of our team,” Grigorov said.

ZEAL has launched Dream Car Raffle (Traumautoverlosung), a new charity lottery offering in the regulated German gambling market. The company said the product is developed in-house and adds to its portfolio alongside its lottery brokerage business.

Traumautoverlosung is operated by Dreamify gGmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of ZEAL, while marketing and sales is handled by Lotto24 AG, also part of the group. ZEAL said the launch follows the Dream House Raffle (Traumhausverlosung) introduced in 2024 and freiheit+, making Traumautoverlosung its third charity lottery in Germany.

“With Traumautoverlosung, ZEAL continues its strategy of complementing its traditional lottery brokerage business with proprietary products, targeting new customer segments and reducing its dependence on jackpot-driven cycles of state lotteries,” the company said. Stefan Tweraser, CEO of ZEAL Group, added: “We are pleased to further expand our core business with attractive new products. Traumautoverlosung is another step towards diversifying our portfolio and reaching new target groups.”

ZEAL said Traumautoverlosung is structured with a limited number of tickets and a guaranteed winner. At launch, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be raffled, with a total of 250,000 tickets available. “With Traumautoverlosung, we are focusing on cars that are otherwise out of reach for many people – highly desirable models that are often difficult to obtain on the market,” said Michael Lee, founder of Traumautoverlosung. “Our goal is to translate this demand into a transparent, digital product with clearly defined mechanics.”

As a charity lottery, the product allocates at least 20 percent of ticket revenue to charitable causes, according to ZEAL. The company said the initiative will partner with Johanniter in 2026.
