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.
