Eilers & Krejcik Gaming and Fantini Research ranks XTENSION LINK™ Evolution as the best-performing new casino game in the region, with a 2.93x performance index versus house average in the region
NOVOMATIC has reached another significant milestone for its Latin American portfolio. XTENSION LINK™ Evolution ranked #1 among new casino games in the region in the August Latin America Game Performance Report by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming and Fantini Research, recording a 2.93x performance index versus house average.
Based on data collected through July 2026, the analysis places XTENSION LINK™ Evolution ahead of other recent market introductions within the new casino games category.
Beyond the ranking itself, the result provides an independent benchmark of the product’s ability to deliver competitive performance under real operating conditions—an increasingly relevant indicator for operators seeking to combine an engaging player experience with solid, measurable results.
Performance backed by data
The report draws on the EILERS-FANTINI Central Game Performance Database (GPD), which collects casino performance data on a monthly basis and standardizes and aggregates the information to identify trends and compare the relative performance of games and suppliers.
Across Latin America, the database reflects average participation from 199 casinos, 63,739 slots and 11 jurisdictions, providing a broad benchmark for regional performance analysis.
The methodology includes variables such as Average Bet, Coin In Index and Win Index, among other performance indicators, enabling standardized comparisons of the relative performance of games in operation.
“This result reinforces a very clear strategic direction for NOVOMATIC in Latin America: developing solutions that combine innovation, player relevance and measurable performance for our customers. Seeing XTENSION LINK™ Evolution rank first among the region’s new games confirms the potential of a proposition designed to grow and establish itself in highly competitive markets,” said Max Bauer, V.P. LATAM & Caribbean.
A solution with measurable impact on the gaming floor
As one of NOVOMATIC’s most recent offerings within the Linked Progressive jackpot segment, XTENSION LINK™ Evolution further strengthens the company’s portfolio with a solution designed to combine innovation, engagement and performance.
The report also includes a dedicated analysis of South America, where XTENSION LINK™ Evolution once again ranks #1 in the Multigame category, reinforcing the consistency of its performance across the region.
“The response we are seeing on the gaming floor confirms that XTENSION LINK™ Evolution is able to translate the initial interest generated by a new launch into tangible performance. For operators, that balance between player appeal and operational value is a key factor when assessing the long-term potential and evolution of a product,” added Fabián Grous, CEO of NOVOMATIC Argentina.
Another milestone for NOVOMATIC in Latin America
Latin America remains a strategic market for NOVOMATIC and a key region for the development of new solutions. In an industry where innovation must translate into tangible results on the gaming floor, the positioning achieved by XTENSION LINK™ Evolution provides independent validation of its performance within the regional market.
With this result, XTENSION LINK™ Evolution further strengthens its position in Latin America and confirms, through real-world operating performance, the potential of a solution designed to turn innovation into measurable results.
