skill-based gaming slots? Obviously, the US industry regulations about the skill-based gaming slots may influence opening a new business segment not only in North America, but in other jurisdictions, too. Alto Gaming would observe the first signs of acceptance and employment of this concept in real environment but meanwhile shall invest in research about the technical and legal compliance details concerning the skill-based products. Another important fact here is the behaviour and preferences of the new generation, those young people, my mates who has grown up with computers, video games, smart phones, play consoles and internet. In my opinion particularly their input and technological affinity may shape the perceptions of skill-based gaming slots for the future, but will see... Gaming operators are showing more profit from non-gaming areas such as food and nightclubs. Are you concerned about this? Well, it really depends who are the operators and what is the market. If we take a consideration about the general concept of the integrated resorts popular in North America and Macau, this might be the case, but still even here each business unit is monitored and assessed based on its efficiency and IPR whereas gaming, based on my experience and relationships with the management boards of some of the major integrated resort brands, always would be worthy enough. From other side, as long as we provide gaming products that respond to the market’s requirements and satisfy the players’ needs for gaming and entertainment, we are certainly on the right track of the company’s future progress. How do you make Alternative Gaming Solutions products stand out from the crowd, especially in such a highly-competitive industry? The message is initially written in the company name, so that our team of professionals always stand on the cutting-edge of technological wave by providing state-of-the-art products that people cannot forget and would like to keep playing on. This year we have managed to establish a valuable collaboration with the globally renowned HOT ROD brand which led to an enormous success at G2E Las Vegas where the première of the HOT ROD™ Slot Machine took place and attracted a great number of visitors and customers enchanted by the glamorous
