Vertical integration through machine manufacturing and smart slot technology enhances competitive advantage in distributed gaming.
Latam growth and regulatory environment
Cirsa’s Latam markets show attractive macroeconomic stability, with 3.1% GDP CAGR (2025-28E), low inflation, and stable currencies.
Latam online GGR grew at 24.7% CAGR (2022-25), and retail at 6.6%, both outpacing European averages.
Cirsa’s Latam EBITDA grew at a 9.7% CAGR (2018-25), supported by local-currency cost base and disciplined cash management.
Regulatory frameworks in Latam are stable, with high barriers to entry and favorable tax regimes.
