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.”

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: As ICE makes its historic move to Barcelona, established tech providers like Win Systems are under pressure to bring their “A-game” to the larger venue. The focus here isn’t just on cabinets; it’s the ecosystem. By highlighting WIGOS (their CMS) alongside WIN PAY, Win Systems is positioning itself as an infrastructure partner, not just a hardware supplier. The debut of the Gold Club Colors roulette specifically targets the growing demand for visually customizable electronic table games (ETGs).

The Full Story

Win Systems, the global provider of technology for the gaming and entertainment industry, has confirmed its product roadmap for ICE Barcelona 2026, the sector’s most significant international event taking place from January 19 to 21.

Exhibiting at Stand 3M30 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the company will leverage the new venue to showcase a broad portfolio designed to cover the entire casino floor—from management systems to the gaming floor itself.

Systems and Fintech At the core of the showcase is WIGOS, the company’s flagship Casino Management System (CMS). WIGOS is widely recognized for connecting thousands of machines across multiple countries, and the Barcelona display will focus on advanced tools that streamline daily operations and optimize player retention.

Complementing the CMS, Win Systems will present WIN PAY, its secure transaction platform. As cashless and seamless payment solutions become standard requirements for operators, WIN PAY offers the necessary efficiency and security controls for modern gaming environments.

Hardware: Roulette and Slots On the hardware side, Win Systems is refreshing its electronic table game offering with the new Gold Club Colors electronic roulette. The Gold Club line has long been a staple in the company’s portfolio, known for its compact footprint and reliability; the “Colors” iteration promises to maximize visual impact on the floor.

Alongside the roulette, the company will display its latest slot hardware, including the Sublime and Rhapsody cabinets. These units are designed to house the company’s extensive game library, which has been adapted to suit diverse market profiles from Europe to Latin America.

Strategic Goals Win Systems aims to use the three-day event to reinforce its 30-year legacy in the industry. The company described its participation as a commitment to “continuous innovation,” inviting operators and regulators to explore how their integrated solutions can improve in-room performance.
