Innovation and Performance: Three Keys Guiding FBM’s
to Thrive in the U.S. Gaming Market
By Vitor Francisco, Director, FBM
The United States is probably the gaming industry’s biggest stage The relevant product novelties emerge here, a n d t h e f i e r c e c o m p e t i t i o n e x p e r i -
e n c e d d i c t a t e s t h a t o n l y p r e p a r e d game providers can prosper in this market with diverse states and casino
e n v i r o n m e n t s A t F B M ® , w e b e l i e v e three pillars to be essential to grow sustainably in this landscape: localization, innovation and performance
Each Casino, A Different Reality
Localization goes far beyond translation or cosmetic changes In the United States, player preferences vary significantly between regions, and understanding nuances is vital A tailored game portfolio strategy is fundament a l A t F B M , w e u n d e r s t o o d t a k i n g Florida as an example, as we identified a strong local appetite for lotto games.
T h a t i n s i g h t l e d u s t o c r e a t e B u l l ’ s C h a m p i o n L o t t o ™ , F B M ’ s f i r s t - e v e r land-based lotto game It wasn’t just a product diversification strategy move It was a commitment to respecting and attending to local demand, state by state and casino by casino.
The Power of Novelty Effect in a Fast-Paced Market
Innovation is another driving force The United States is flooded weekly with new titles, features and themes, meaning players are constantly looking for something fresh and exciting. At FBM, we actively seek to innovate, rather than just follow the trends.
Titles like Croc’s Lock™ and Hippo’s Lock™ bring superhero flair to the slots arena, featuring powerful animations
Minimize Risk with Checklists in the Workplace

Checklists play a crucial role in the effective implementation of workplace safety programs. They are simple, yet powerful tools that guide employees through safety protocols, ensuring no
and immersive game mechanics that e n g a g e p l a y e r s f r o m t h e f i r s t s p i n Other games, such as Xing Fú Fortune™ Money Trees and Lanterns of Fú™, elevate the experience through accumulator mechanics and culturally inspired themes, which create emotional connection
I n t o d a y ’ s e n v i r
i n o gaming providers must offer more than just games They need to create entertainment experiences that build loyalty and excitement with innovation
,
Numbers Speak, and Games Must Perform
Still, all of the innovation and localization in the world means little without performance For operators, performa
providers must build titles that not only look and feel great but also deliver consistent, high-quality performance. That means uptime, stability and a proven capacity to attract and retain player interest, so they come back, and casino floors stay profitable Reliability is the silent engine behind every great experience, and FBM places it at the heart of e v e r y g a

T h e p o
localization, innovation and performance is what fuels a sustainable operation in the United States With trusted partnerships among casino operators and local industry players, FBM is building a future based on these three principles, and paving the way for broader national growth.
instance, a construction site might use a checklist to remember vital safety measures like wearing hard hats, securing scaffolding and verifying equipment safety. Without a checklist, the risk of overlooking these precautions increases, potentially leading to severe accidents or even fatalities
The benefits of using checklists extend beyond safety They streamline tasks and contribute to quality control, task management and team efficiency Also, by providing clear instructions and expectations, checklists reduce errors and ensure consistency. In fact, a study by the World Health Organization showed that surgical teams using a safety checklist reduced their rate of inpatient complications from 11% to 7% This demonstrates the power of checklists in minimizing errors and improving outcomes
A safe workforce is a productive workforce. AMERIND can help you integrate a workplace safety program that harnesses the power of checklists to keep staff and patrons injury-free
Consider implementing checklists into your workplace to:
• Ensure safety protocols are met
• Prevent workplace injuries
• Reduce errors and oversight
• Ensure consistency and efficiency
• Increase accountability
• Promote communication and collaboration
Workplace Injuries: By the Numbers
• Private industry employers reporte d 2 8 m i l l i o n n o n f
injuries and illnesses in 2022
• In 2022, the rate of reported workplace injuries was 2.3 cases per 100 fulltime employees
• Over the 2021-2022 period, 66 5% of nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses involved days away from work, job restriction or transfer
