Light & Wonder and Aristocrat lead Q3 North American casino replacement activity, together accounting for more than half of all replacements, driven by strong portrait video reel cabinets such as Cosmic Upright and Baron Portrait. Portrait format cabinets dominate demand, securing eight of the top ten placements.
Bluberi, Ainsworth, AGS, Aruze, Sega Sammy, and Zitro each show stable or year over year gains in replacement sales share, reflecting a broadening competitive landscape.
Premium gaming operations growth was led primarily by Aristocrat and Light & Wonder through deployments of ‘Dragon Link’, ‘Cash Express Legend’, ‘Monopoly Express’, and ‘Lion Link’.
Additionally, Trestle Gaming entered the GPD this quarter, capturing approximately 10% of Montana VLT sales.
