Mexico’s gaming industry has reached a historic milestone. DR Gaming Technology™ (DRGT™), in exclusive partnership with APEX Gaming Technology and in close collaboration with PlayCity Casino, has completed the installation of the country’s first-ever symbol-driven national wide-area progressive (WAP) jackpot.
Powered by DRGT’s advanced Wide-Area Winshare™ technology, the project also marks the Mexican debut of the premium APSL 32 cabinet, featuring the acclaimed Clover Link Elements™ game mix.
The installation links 128 APEX Clover Link Elements™ slot machines across all 17 PlayCity Casinos, creating a synchronized jackpot network that rewards players in real time, no matter where they play. Each bank is crowned with massive, synchronized LED displays, heightening the excitement floor-wide.
“This project is far more than an installation — it’s a genuine leap forward for the Mexican market,” said Jurgen De Munck, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of DRGT™. “Doing this alongside PlayCity and APEX, combining our Wide Area and Winshare™ technology with the elegance of the Pinnacle Slant Top 32 Premium and the thrill of Clover Link Elements™, is setting a new standard for both players and operators.”

DRGT™ TECHNOLOGY: FLEXIBLE, POWERFUL, AND PLAYER-CENTRIC
DRGT™’s state-of-the-art systems are developed using the latest technology, enabling a unique ability to operate without a permanent server connection. This simplifies installation and implementation, while giving operators total control over their entire operations.
Powered by DRGT’s proprietary jackpot controller, wide-area technology, and drMediaManager, this installation delivers Mexico’s largest symbol-driven jackpot — an innovation that allows jackpots to be adapted from local to wide-area at the click of a button. Configurations are independent from the base game, ensuring no impact on the player’s core gaming experience.
Operators can now offer a variety of jackpot levels and formats, including participation jackpots where the main prize goes to a single winner and a secondary amount is shared proportionally among all active eligible players.
PLAYER CONNECTION AND REAL-TIME CELEBRATION WITH WINSHARE™
One of the historic challenges of WAP jackpots has been player disconnection - DRGT™’s technology changes that forever.
When the Mega Jackpot is hit, a secondary prize is automatically shared among all eligible players who were actively playing at that moment, with each share proportional to their bet. This turns every jackpot win into a shared, nationwide celebration, creating a sense of community and excitement across all connected venues.
- Custom jackpot sound effects play simultaneously in all 17 PlayCity Casino venues.
- LED walls in every venue instantly display the prize amount, winning location, and payout details.
- Players immediately see if they’ve received a Winshare™ prize — ensuring nobody is left out or wondering what happened.
- The system delivers both wide-area and local-area progressives simultaneously
This level of transparency and inclusivity builds trust with players and drives higher engagement across the network.
