Two industry legends met recently at the IGE show in London. Paul Gauselmann, founder and CEO of Gauselmann AG met with Australia's Leonard Hastings Ainsworth, Australian coin-op machine pioneer and today's Executive Chairman of Ainsworth Game Technology. These two veterans of the coin-op industry, who are both still fully active in their respective roles, have been decisively shaping the global gambling markets for several decades.
Ainsworth, who was born in 1924, started working in the coin-op industry in 1953 when he founded Aristocrat - four years earlier than Gauselmann, who is ten years younger. Ainsworth was the pioneer of poker machines. Thanks to his activities in this field, the poker community called the Texas Hold´em Starthand after him - which is something of an accolade. In the last 52 years Paul Gauselmann built up a coin-op empire from scratch and currently employs 5,3000 in his group of companies with an annual revenue of more than one billion Euros. In total, the different companies of the Gauselmann Group have so far manufactured and sold more than two million amusement machines.
The two successful entrepreneurs have known each other for years and they are not only friends but also maintain business relations, e.g. a sales cooperation for Ainsworth Game Technology game content for the German market. In the future, the successful and innovative games from Ainsworth Game Technology will be integrated into the Ideal game portfolio.
