The top four suppliers by GGR remain relatively unchanged, Pragmatic Play (17.8%), Evolution (12.5%), Playtech (9%), and Games Global (9%) continue to outpace the field, while Play'n GO follows with a substantial gain, now at 6.8%. In NEW Slots, nine suppliers are represented in the top 10: Pragmatic Play holds two ranks with Sweet Bonanza 2500 at #2 and The Big Dog House at #9, Playson's Thunder Coins XXL Multicoin leads the segment, and a new Octoplay theme, Serpent Gold 2 Hold and Win, rounds out the top ten.

Evolution remains the top GGR Supplier at 13.3%, staying roughly flat month-over-month. White Hat Studios posts the largest gain among top suppliers, adding 0.8% to draw even with Light & Wonder at 11.1%. Octoplay's smaller catalog continues to climb, lifting Total GGR from 2.0% to 2.9%, its biggest jump since tracking began in July '25; slight dips for Fire Rail Express Hold & Win and Break More Piggy Banks were offset by three Top Slots debuts — Mega Cash Boost, Big Bang Bonus, and Bag The Swag Hold & Win.

Based on reported figures and our proprietary estimates, we estimate total U.S. & Canada Gaming Revenue increased +5% y/y but declined -2% q/q to $37.0 billion in 1Q26. See the Commercial Slot Revenue slide for more commentary, but annual results were driven by macro-economic health that continues to support slot GGR growth, expansion into under-penetrated markets, and expanded gambling offerings (sports betting, iGaming, select Route Ops, new casino growth). See the Total Slot and Table sections for our CY25 forecasts for each segment.

At the end of 1Q26, we estimate the total installed base of slot machines and equivalent electronic gaming devices in the U.S. and Canada markets increased +0.9% y/y and +0.1% q/q to ~1,079,400 games. Expansionary activity, both new development and same-store, continues to offset removals. See the report for results and analysis by market segment as well as our 3-year forecast.

The June edition of EKG’s Prediction Markets Monitor is now live, with PM data current through mid-June 2026 and OSB data through April-May 2026. U.S. sports prediction markets continue to scale rapidly. On EKG’s Handle-Analog basis, U.S. sports PM activity reached an estimated $2.2bn in Apr-26, representing 13% of combined PM and OSB handle, up from 11% in Mar-26. Prediction markets are increasingly becoming relevant to the broader U.S. sports wagering ecosystem. A central focus this month is the emergence of a sports-plus-crypto market structure. While sports remains the dominant volume driver, short-resolution Bitcoin markets have become the clearest source of incremental growth, with Kalshi’s Jan-26 Coinbase integration helping accelerate crypto’s share of activity. We continue to believe the next major growth chapter of PMs will involve broader gamification of financial speculation. Competitive dynamics are also beginning to shift. Kalshi has overtaken Polymarket International as the largest operator by Contract Volume, but Polymarket U.S. is scaling rapidly following its national launch, Robinhood is migrating to Rothera, DraftKings’ DKEx rollout appears imminent, and Coinbase is becoming an increasingly important Kalshi distribution partner. Collectively, these developments suggest the industry may be approaching its first major market structure transition. We also provide an updated read on the policy landscape. Recent CFTC proposals suggest most sports contracts are likely to remain available in the near term, though litigation and emerging state taxation efforts increasingly represent the most meaningful policy risks. Additional coverage includes: • New proprietary estimates of U.S. Contract Volume share by consumer-facing brand • New proprietary U.S. OSB-PM handle and handle-per-adult leaderboards • Pathmatics-based state targeting analysis (Kalshi) and implications for OSB demand substitution • 2Q26 U.S. sports Execution Volume forecasts: projected vs. actual
