一部分的好消息是，今年美国开设了一连串的赌场的开业，这增加了老虎机的销售量和租赁量。

　　另一个好消息是，现有赌场似乎更愿意花钱更换掉旧的老虎机。

　　北美赌场经理今年打算更换806%的老虎机。这是从第一季度的7%。这是基于近几年来，低销量老虎机一直在拖老虎机制造商利润的后腿。

　　调查结果令人行业巨头和长期竞争对手巴利技术公司很受鼓舞。

　　在第二季度，调查参与者从他们那里买37%的老虎机，这增加了4个点。巴利占销售额的19%，这从12个月以来改善了3个点。

　　仓库管理系统，美国第三大槽的生产厂家，占有17%股份。

　　另一个趋势是上升的小型制造商。科乐美游戏，一个附属的日本消费电子巨头科乐美公司，近几年来已成为了一个重要的角色。

　　现在，多媒体游戏和澳大利亚的安斯沃思正在跳，在近几年的销售中各自获得3个点。

　　Part of the good news is that the spate of casino openings in the United States this year has led to an increase in slot machines sales and leases.

　　Other good news is that existing casinos appear more willing to spend to replace old slot machines.

　　North American casino managers intend to replace 8.6 percent of their machines this year. That is up from 7 percent in the first quarter. And it is above the past several years when low replacement sales have been a drag on slot machine manufacturer profits.

　　Survey results were especially encouraging for industry giant IGT and long-time rival Bally Technologies.

　　Survey participants bought 37 percent of their slot machines in the second quarter from IGT, a 4-point gain. Bally accounted for 19 percent of sales, a 3-point improvement over the previous 12 months.

　　WMS, the third largest American slot manufacturer, got 17 percent share.

　　Another trend is the rise of small manufacturers. Konami Gaming, a subsidiary of Japanese consumer electronics giant Konami Corp, has become a significant player in recent years.

　　Now, Multimedia Games and Australia's Ainsworth are making the jump. Each got 3 percent of the second quarter's sales.
