The bingo sites and the associated food and beverage outlets operate mainly in leased premises at shopping centres.
The majority of the EBTs are leased and these are being replaced with owned machines where appropriate.
VSlots
VSlots offers LPM gaming services and manages 6 058 (2018: 5 894) LPMs at 1 144 sites (2018: 1 113) throughout all the provinces of the country. The sites are located in pubs, bars, clubs, hotels, taverns and bookmakers and the group provides the sites with access to LPMs with a full support structure. The sites are monitored by a national central electronic monitoring system to maintain a well-regulated gaming industry for site owners and their customers.
Growth is achieved through the roll out of additional sites and the optimisation of existing sites in terms of location and product mix. There are significant barriers to entry, including the stringent requirements and time delays in obtaining the necessary licences and a limited number of licences are available for each province.
