We have tested other jackpot concepts from their portfolio, that have had good results, but since the new “Bell Link” & “Gods & Kings Link” United Jackpot hit our floors in May this year, we can truly say that it has exceeded our expectations by far! We don’t believe it is too early to state that the “Bell Link” is the best product EGT has ever built, which just strengthens EGT’s position as one of our top 3 suppliers and we’re looking forward for more products of the Bulgarian manufacturer like this to come our way!”
