Taking over market share<\/h2>\n

Apollo Global Management is moving ahead with its proposed acquisition of IGT Gaming and Everi Holdings Inc. According to Fitch Ratings, the takeover will have a deep impact on North America\u2019s gaming industry and create the region\u2019s largest supplier of land-based slots and game machines.<\/p>\n

\n

will own more than 77,000 North American casino gambling machine installations<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Combined, the new entity will have a greater installed base and market share of slot cabinets and other game machines than any of its major competitors, Light & Wonder and Aristocrat Leisure. The firm, which is backed by private equity investment firm Apollo, will own more than 77,000 North American casino gambling machine installations, a higher figure than Light & Wonder\u2019s current 54,397.<\/p>\n

The entities\u2019 combined 2024 pro forma revenues are $2.6bn and $1.1bn in Adjusted EBITDA.<\/p>\n

Creating a brand new identity<\/h2>\n

The acquisition, announced in a press release in July 2024<\/a>, will see IGT spin off its slot business to Everi to focus on its lottery technology business. After closing, the combined company will be privately owned and have a new name and ticker.<\/p>\n

While Everi has historically had a smaller foothold in the slots industry, Analysts believe the merger will be a catalyst for meaningful diversification and growth. The agency indicated there was significant potential for cross-selling, most specifically among IGT\u2019s in-market global sales channels and Everi\u2019s FinTech and Class II gaming offerings.<\/p>\n

\n

leaves opportunities for the company to export its content overseas<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Revenue sources must be sensibly well-balanced, with gaming activities generating 29%, sales of equipment 23%, systems and software 23%, and the remaining with FinTech and digital platforms. The blend also leaves opportunities for the company to export its content overseas through IGT\u2019s international networks.<\/p>\n

Competing in innovative markets<\/h2>\n

Aristocrat and Light & Wonder currently have larger digital and iGaming footprints, but Fitch highlights the FinTech segment offered by Everi, which delivers differentiated value. This has greater potential in longer-term opportunities in cashless products and player interaction solutions in casino settings.<\/p>\n

The acquisitions will be finalized in the third quarter of this year and will position the new enterprise as the biggest supplier of land-based casino gaming devices in North America.<\/p>\n
