“While current VLT replacement activity is fairly light, we do anticipate both Canada and Oregon VLT replacement sales to pick up again in 2H18 and continuing to grow in CY19 and CY20 as the install base continues to age and previously purchased games in 2012-2014 have now become fully depreciated,” the report stated.
“It’s also important to note that the traditional purchasing model in Canada is changing to include more of an annual replacement cycle for many provinces and in some cases there will be a move to a recurring revenue model versus purchasing.”
Eilers & Krejcik Gaming — one of the leading voices in the U.S. gaming industry- estimated that there were roughly 428 table games added in the secodn quarter of 2018. “In CY18 we now look for the addition of 920 new table games to be added due to new openings across commercial and tribal jurisdictions in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Florida, California and Wisconsin.”
