The newly promoted CEO of DR Gaming Technology, Koen De Wispelaere, was on hand at the recent G2E in Las Vegas to present the company’s “player-first” innovations.
De Wispelaere joined the company in 2015 and was the company’s chief financial officer until he took over the primary leadership role from Marco Herrera at the end of September.
“I’ve attended every G2E since joining the company just over a decade ago, but 2026 did feel a little different, I must be honest. I guess when the buck stops with you, you do need to assess and pursue everything a little differently,” he declared.
“That said, I work with a talented bunch of people, so a good showing as never in doubt. We had a great booth, and some very positive engagements – I’m a proud and happy man.”
Show engagement
When asked about what drew the most interest from visitors, De Wispelaere said: “Without a doubt our new Bingo raffe game.”
Developed initially for DRGT customers in Mexico, the game was showcased primarily to that market but quickly attracted interest from operators across other jurisdictions at the expo too.
“The game uses our system-based raffle technology, but instead of issuing players a raffle ticket, they get issued dedicated Bingo cards” said DRGTs managing director: Mexico, Alfredo Moreno. “These cards can then be printed out at our drPlayerKiosk or digital versions stored on players’ loyalty profiles.”
“It works much like a bonus game. Operators determine the qualifying criteria for earning a Bingo card, when the earning period starts and ends, when the actual game is played, and whether players need to remain in the casino to qualify for a win. It’s an interactive experience, with the ‘ball drop’ displayed across selected or all casino screens, as well as our drScreenUltra player interface units, accompanied by pre-recorded audio.
“The Mexican market is responding very positively, and following G2E, I have no doubt that operators in other countries will see the potential too.”
Player-first technology
The company explained that, following significant growth in 2025, demand continues for its casino management systems and jackpot solutions, alongside its growing portfolio of NextGen applications, and “Player-First” marketing tools; these include its media manager, bonus games, player info kiosk, drCARM cash dispensing kiosk and updated all-in-one rewards module that now allows operators to configure the company’s system-driven jackpots and promotions in a single application.
The company’s next big showing will be at ICE in January 2027.
