Casino Technology continues to grow in Central Europe, with the opening of a new office in Budapest. The branch is based in the heart of EMG Industrial Park, commonly known as the Hungarian gaming "Silicon Valley", where some of the most successful local gaming companies are based. The new office is headed by Mr. Zoltan Madarasz, who has worked in the slots and gambling industry since 1989. He has gained international casino and slots experience at numerous locations in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Morocco and Tunisia and was owner and managing director of the Hungarian Slot Operating Co. from 1989 to - 1998.

Initially providing local technical support, the Casino Technology team in Budapest will develop the market by establishing contacts with new clients and potential strategic partners. The process of certifying products for the local market is also progressing well. The initial results are very encouraging and the major operators in Hungary have already shown interest in placing Casino Technology products onto their gaming floors.
