"Our new NXGB hardware platform is designed and manufactured in Brazil"

GMB - What is the expectation of your visit to this new edition of G2E?
Hugo Baungartner - This edition of G2E is being interesting because several companies are presenting new products aimed at the Brazilian market. RCT Gaming is a company that operates in several countries, but has its Brazilian DNA. The development of technology is located in Brazil and we need to follow closely the market trends. Many of our Latin American partners, especially from Mexico and Peru, are also here and G2E provides the opportunity for a closer conversation with all of them.

You have debuted a new platform recently ... are you satisfied with how it works? Can you describe which are its main features?
The new NXGB hardware platform, developed in partnership with our software team, is very technically tuned. It is very compact and designed and manufactured in Brazil, which gives us great commercial agility. All of our games run on this new hardware platform. Games and support software are being certified at the GLI Las Vegas lab.

How was this new innovative RCT product received by the market?
It is being very well accepted. It is compact, easy to install and has a very competitive price. Added to this, the gaming market, which has known us for 23 years, knows that you can count on our technical support for maintenance. In addition, our partners can count on a single supplier for the gaming software and hardware. We are preparing a national launch for a very close date.

How do you analyze the Latin American market today and the penetration of the RCT in it?
We have a branch in Peru and another in Mexico. In several countries of Central and South America we have our games running on our own machines or in partnerships. With the new platform, this market tends to grow very fast. Some of these countries are modifying their legislation and we are closing new partnerships.

With the recent creation of a pro-gaming deputy front, the climate in Brazil seems better than ever to legalize the activity ... how do you see it?
As a Brazilian and working in this market for 23 years, Brazil ended the time to stop covering the sun with the hand. Our legislators should take this opportunity to get Brazil off the short list of countries that do not yet have legalized gaming. We are hopeful that this Parliamentary Front for the Adoption of the Regulatory Framework of Gaming in Brazil, presided over by Congressman Cesar Halum, can be our flag to expedite this process. We are confident.

Are there any new RCT projects underway for the remainder of 2017 and 2018?
Yes. New games are coming out of the "oven" and will be released soon. More interactive games with accumulated and innovative " mistery" should be a differential in the market. Just wait, we'll have some introductions to present.
