Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT: “We will continue to invest in both our R&D activities and in further modernizing our production facilities in 2026”
05 Jan 2026In a special interview for Yogonet Mr. Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT, reviews 2025 and shares the company’s plans for 2026. Defining the past year as both “successful“ and “challenging”, he speaks about the flexibility with which EGT has met legislative changes in a number of jurisdictions, as well as the outstanding performance of the new products in its portfolio and the numerous installations, the newly opened markets with great potential, as well as the expansion of EGT production outside of Bulgaria. In addition, Mr. Dokov analyzes the trends in the gaming industry over the past year and gives his forecasts for the upcoming 12 months.
As 2025 comes to a close, Euro Games Technology (EGT) is ending the year after a period the company describes as both “challenging” and “successful.” Over the past 12 months, the company worked across multiple jurisdictions, reaffirmed its leadership positions in long-established markets, and continued entering new ones.
During the year, EGT opened a new office in Argentina, advanced its plans in Brazil, and expanded its portfolio with new products alongside continued strong performance from its bestsellers. The company also invested in the modernization of its factories and opened its first production facility outside Bulgaria in Mexico.
In an exclusive interview with Yogonet, Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT, reflects on a year marked by geographic expansion, product development, manufacturing investment, and preparations for further growth across global markets in 2026.
Looking back at 2025, how would you assess the year for the company? What are some of the major takeaways/, achievements, or lessons learned over the past year?
If I had to describe 2025 briefly, I would define it with two words: “challenging” and “successful”. The year required us to navigate complex and evolving regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, where our expertise, adaptability, and sustained efforts proved decisive.
Overall, it was a year of growth for EGT. Our company reaffirmed its stable leadership positions in the markets where it has been present for years, while at the same time managing to enter new jurisdictions, where it also quickly gained popularity and became a significant factor in the local gaming ecosystem.
Last year, we officially opened our new office in Argentina. In just a few months, we completed numerous installations in the country, and in 2026, I expect us to achieve even more impressive results.
We also advanced our plans for Brazil, where, along with iGaming, VLT solutions were legalized in some states in 2025. I believe that our developments, created specifically for the local market, have everything needed to reap great success in the coming months.
Our bestsellers continued to demonstrate excellent performance. We also enriched our portfolio with new products, which were received very well by operators and players and quickly found their place in some of the most renowned gaming venues in the world.
We received numerous awards from prestigious international competitions. These accolades are highly valuable to us, as they reflect the high appreciation of our work by our clients, partners, and industry professionals.
At the same time, we continued investing in the modernization of our factories, supplying them with the most advanced manufacturing equipment on the market. Thus, we achieved automation and robotization of many of the processes and unlocked enormous production potential.
We also opened the first EGT production outside Bulgaria, thanks to which our office in Mexico can now cover the needs of its customers with machines manufactured locally. In 2026, we plan to open one more factory in another market of strategic importance for us.
Which issues and trends would you say dominated the conversation this year? Any specific trends, markets, or technologies that you believe will drive change in 2026?
2025 in the land-based sector was marked by the ever-increasing demand for personalized gaming solutions and immersive experiences that offer attractive bonuses and more opportunities for player engagement and winning.
I believe that this trend will continue into 2026, together with the growing use of artificial intelligence in various aspects of the development of new products. This will contribute to optimizing costs, enriching and diversifying offerings, and creating a next-level gaming journey tailored to players’ needs and requirements.
The hybrid models that integrate online and offline casino experiences are another trend that is gaining momentum. These models embrace fans of both types of gaming, providing them with options to earn rewards regardless of whether they play in a traditional or online casino, which enhances player loyalty.
What can we expect from the company in 2026? What are the main challenges and opportunities you see in the gaming industry in the upcoming 12-month period?
To maintain and solidify our leadership on a global level, we will continue to invest in both our R&D activities and in further modernizing our production facilities in 2026. Of course, at the same time, we will keep on expanding our presence in new jurisdictions, while also increasing our market share in the over 100 markets where our products are already among the favorites of the local gaming communities.
While regulatory complexity and the pace of market development will remain key challenges, they will also continue to create opportunities for companies with strong innovation capabilities, manufacturing scale, and international experience.
