Celina Guedes, Regional Director Brazil at EGT, discusses the company’s strategic goals for SiGMA South America 2026 and opportunities within the country’s evolving regulatory framework for this year.
Exclusive interview.- More than a year after the Brazilian gaming market officially opened, the companies that entered the country are now looking to consolidate their position and gain ground in an increasingly competitive environment. To achieve this, the key lies in securing strategic partnerships and ensuring long-term scalability.
Ahead of one of the most important events in the region, SiGMA South America, Focus Gaming News spoke to Celina Guedes, regional director Brazil at EGT, about the company’s strategy in this evolving landscape, Brazil’s growth potential and the opportunities emerging across both online and land-based segments.
What does EGT expect from SiGMA South America? What are your main goals for the event?
SiGMA South America has become one of the most influential gatherings for the gaming industry in Latin America, and for EGT it represents a strategic moment to reinforce our long-term commitment to the region.
Brazil is rapidly positioning itself as one of the most important regulated gaming markets globally. With the new regulatory framework now taking shape, the country is entering a new phase of structured and sustainable growth for the industry.
Our main goal at SiGMA South America is to strengthen strategic partnerships with operators, platforms and industry stakeholders who are building this new regulated ecosystem. We also see the event as an opportunity to present EGT’s technology and content portfolio, including solutions that can support both the online segment and potential future opportunities in land-based operations, such as VLT environments, depending on how the market evolves.
For us, the event is about building long-term relationships and positioning EGT as a reliable partner for operators looking to grow in Brazil and across Latin America.
How do you intend to surprise visitors at the expo? Do you plan to introduce new products this year?
At SiGMA South America, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the strength of EGT’s global portfolio and understand why our products consistently perform well across multiple markets.
Our focus is not only on presenting games, but on demonstrating the robustness of EGT’s ecosystem — combining engaging game mechanics, strong mathematical models and reliable technology platforms.
EGT has extensive experience across both online and land-based gaming environments. This gives us a unique advantage as Latin American markets evolve and explore different regulatory models, including opportunities related to VLT operations in certain jurisdictions.
We are continuously expanding and adapting our portfolio to meet the expectations of operators and players in the region, always focusing on performance, scalability and long-term value.
What development opportunities do you identify in the Brazilian market for 2026?
Brazil is entering a transformational moment for the gaming industry. With regulation now moving forward, the country has the potential to become one of the largest regulated gaming markets in the world.
For 2026, we see opportunities developing across multiple segments. The online market will continue to expand rapidly, driven by high mobile adoption and strong player engagement. At the same time, discussions around land-based opportunities — including the possible implementation of VLT operations in certain environments — could further expand the ecosystem in the coming years.
Brazilian players are highly engaged and responsive to entertainment experiences that combine strong visual identity, intuitive gameplay and reliable performance. Companies that understand these dynamics and are able to adapt their content to local preferences will be well-positioned for growth.
For EGT, this represents an opportunity to bring our international experience and proven portfolio to support operators as the market matures.
“Brazil has the potential to become one of the largest regulated gaming markets in the world.”Celina Guedes, regional director Brazil at EGT.
What are EGT Brazil’s main priorities until the end of the year?
Our main priorities for the remainder of the year are focused on consolidating EGT’s presence in Brazil and strengthening relationships with operators and strategic partners within the regulated market.
The regulatory process is creating a more structured and transparent environment for the industry, which is extremely positive for long-term investment and market development.
At EGT Brazil, we are focused on expanding partnerships, increasing the visibility of our portfolio and supporting operators with high-performing content and reliable technology.
At the same time, we are closely monitoring regulatory developments and potential opportunities in both the online and land-based segments — including possible VLT initiatives — to ensure that EGT is well positioned to support the next phase of growth in the Brazilian gaming industry.
“At EGT Brazil, we are focused on expanding partnerships, increasing the visibility of our portfolio and supporting operators with high-performing content and reliable technology.”Celina Guedes, regional director Brazil at EGT.

EGT: 24 years of excellence – where every second counts
13 Mar 2026March 11, 2002 – EGT was founded to become one of the most influential manufacturers and suppliers of gaming equipment on a global scale in just a few years. Today, as the company celebrates its 24th anniversary, its story can be told in years of growth, in hours of production, in minutes of precision and even in seconds of engineering excellence. Let’s take a look back and see how it managed to achieve this success.
During this period, the company created and patented over 700 products and produced over 200,000 gaming machines, which have been installed in some of the most renowned establishments in the world.
Many of the developments from the EGT portfolio, such as the Egypt Quest and Bell Link jackpots and the cabinets from the Premier, General and Supreme series, have become benchmarks in the industry, setting its standards and making EGT a byword for uncompromising quality.
EGT has opened 3 factories where it manufactures its products and fulfills orders for its customers from all over the world. The company has even gone a step further, managing to close its production cycle at 360 degrees, as a result of which it currently provides itself with almost everything needed to manufacture its machines.
This fully integrated production allows EGT to measure its efficiency not only in years of growth, but also in seconds, minutes and hours on the production floor.
Thanks to this, in just 24 seconds, the machines in the company’s production lines cut over 40 meters of cable used in EGT’s products. At this speed, the height of Mount Everest could be reached in under 90 minutes.
In just 24 minutes, over 16,000 components used in EGT’s products pass through the production process. At this rate, a venue the size of Madison Square Garden could be filled in about 30 minutes.
In 24 hours, 420 slot cabinets come off EGT’s production lines. Placed side by side, they would stretch almost the length of three football fields.
Impressive figures, right? Yet they represent only a fraction of what EGT has achieved over the past 24 years.
EGT is constantly enhancing its reach, with its products currently present in over 100 markets on 5 continents. More than 4,500 employees in 28 international offices ensure that the company is close to its customers.
Over the past 24 years, EGT has participated in over 300 exhibitions around the world. It has expanded its family with 2 subsidiaries – EGT Digital and EGT Steel Production, thanks to which it has further enriched its product portfolio and can now offer an even wider range of solutions to its current and future clients and partners.
During this period, EGT has received over 30 awards, which are eloquent testimony to its position as a leader in the gaming industry both locally and globally, as well as its status as one of the most stable companies in the Bulgarian economy in general.
In addition, EGT is a member of a number of Bulgarian and international industry and business associations. It has over 10 certificates for the quality of its work and currently operates with systems such as SAP, and the fact that the company’s products meet all industry standards is guaranteed by globally recognized testing laboratories such as GLI and BMM.
All these milestones would not be possible without the company’s most valuable asset – its employees. EGT has created and implemented a culture of support and encouragement for its personnel to unleash their potential and develop their careers within the organization. As a result, in the last 5 years alone, its employees have undergone over 200 different courses and trainings to improve their professional qualifications and competences.
At the same time, the company takes care of the good balance between work and personal life, implementing numerous family-oriented social policies, as well as providing people with the opportunity to pursue their hobbies. EGT has sports teams in football and athletics, which often participate in various tournaments and competitions and record captivating performances.
The artists working at the company have the chance to present their personal works within a special exhibition that EGT organizes annually, and in 2025, the exposition was available to the general public for the first time.
Every year, EGT has internship programs, thanks to which many young people on the threshold of their professional path acquire valuable knowledge and skills, with some of them starting work at the company and applying this knowledge in practice at EGT.
As a result of all this, the company is proud of a very high percentage of long-term employees – 20% of the personnel have over 10 years of experience in the company, which is a truly remarkable achievement.
Along with all this, EGT remains responsible to society. Over the years, the company has been involved in numerous charity campaigns aimed at protecting the environment and helping vulnerable people and those in need.
EGT also actively supports a number of initiatives to promote responsible gaming, reinforcing its image as a creator of highly advanced gaming solutions that set industry trends.
Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT, shared:
Inspired by all these milestones achieved over the past 24 years, we have set ourselves no less ambitious goals for 2026. Along with further modernizing our production facilities, entering new markets and strengthening our leadership on a global level, an equally important priority for us will be to continue contributing to the improvement of the educational and professional environment in the country. This way, we will be able to prove once again that we not only know how to do successful business, but also that we are a socially responsible company that contributes to the overall development of society. This is the true meaning of excellence for us.
Happy 24th birthday, EGT. Here’s to many more years where every second counts.
