“DLV’s presentation at G2E was excellent”
After DLV’s participation in Global Gaming Expo 2016, Soloazar interviewed in exclusive Julia Barbakadze, Marketing Manager of the company, who mentioned the products exhibited at Las Vegas show.
What did you present during this G2E edition?
DLV showcased a great part of its products, in particular many of those that are already installed in Latin America, considering that many show visitors come just from that part of the world. Our key novelty was Ultra 4 multigame with 25 titles, 10 of which are absolutely new ones. Although this product is a sequel to Diamond Games Ultra line, it looks different; much was changed for this version in order to highlight its novelty and, hopefully, make it even more profitable. The multigame was exhibited in DLV´s so far latest cabinet – the luxurious Diamond Excel with two 27”LCD screens.
How was the year for the company?
This has been an intensive year for DLV not only in terms of international sales, but also in the domestic market – Latvia, where the company has renovated a number of its gambling halls, connecting them to IGT’s management system. In future, DLV is planning to renovate the totality of its venues, simultaneously advancing on international markets.
What plans does the company have for the remainder of 2016?
We will be present at SAGSE Buenos Aires with our Argentine partners; moreover, DLV is preparing to put its first products in Argentina.
Besides SAGSE 2016, there is ICE in February for which DLV is already getting ready with new releases to be presented at the show.
With so many trade shows and events in the region, in your opinion, does G2E remain the most important one and why?
Las Vegas has long since become one of the symbols of gaming, this image is already so profoundly ingrained that, wherever in Americas other shows take place, it is hard to imagine that they could attract as many visitors as G2E Las Vegas does.
How would you assess the company’s presentation during this year’s G2E?
It was excellent. Many were interested in testing DLV’s new multigame – Diamond Games Ultra 4, but previous company’s multigames and jackpots were in no less demand. G2E also gave us another opportunity to show Diamond Excel machine, certified in May for Peru, and conclude new contracts.
