DFI sees increased shipments of casino machines

Go DFI!

Taiwan-based industrial PC maker DFI saw 49% of its total revenues for July 2008 come from casino machine shipments to the US and Europe, much higher than the 17% recorded in July 2007, according to the company.

The increase in shipments was because casino operators have been replacing their gambling machines, DFI pointed out. Shipment volumes in August and September 2008 may be the same, or higher than in July, DFI indicated.

DFI's revenues in July rose 39% on month and 97.6% on year to reach of NT$326 million (US$10.6 million) thanks mainly due to the booming casino machine sales, the company noted.
