Promatic Group enters the Irish Market

Gaming terminals from Polish manufacturer Promatic have made their debut on the Irish market. The company’s first slot machines can now be found in gaming halls and casinos operated by six local operators across 10 Irish cities: Dublin, Cork, Galway, New Ross, Wexford, Tallaght, Dun Laoghaire, Bray, Malahide, and Arklow.
The Polish manufacturer, one of the leading suppliers of gaming equipment for Poland’s state-owned chain slot gaming arcades operated by Totalizator Sportowy, has high hopes for the Irish market.
“The Irish love slot games, and access to them is relatively widespread in this country. That’s why we decided to enter the market and take part in the Irish Gaming Show. It led to a number of promising contracts that we are now looking to expand,” said Kacper Kupczyk, Key Account Manager.
“It’s no secret that many Poles live in Ireland and are already familiar with our games. They are also part of our target audience,” he added.
Currently, the Irish gaming market includes approximately 450 venues (arcades and casinos). In a country of over 5.3 million people, there are around 25,000 gaming machines installed.
Promatic is supplying Irish operators with four machine models: Casino 27, PRO 24, PRO 27 VIP, and PRO 32 VIP. These devices feature game packages such as Energy+Orange – the flagship product of the ENERGY series, Energy+Green, and the latest addition – Pro Selection, a multigame set featuring the best of Promatic’s retail and online titles. Pro Selection has only just debuted in Polish casinos.
Additionally, all Irish operators working with Promatic have opted to implement the Fruitpot Jackpot system – a progressive jackpot solution designed by Promatic for casinos and gaming arcades. The Promatic Group plans further expansion in Ireland and is also developing a local service and technical support base to ensure efficient and comprehensive assistance for operators.
“The initial results and customer feedback from the market are very promising, and all signs point to Ireland being a potentially strong market for us. The competition is tough here – but that’s the case in every mature market where players know what they want. I’m confident we can compete for a significant share of the Irish gaming pie,” concludes Kacper Kupczyk.
