Spielo A Gtech Company
Spielo designs and manufactures high
technology lottery gaming products worldwide. The Company is
known for its cutting edge technology, innovative products and
superb customer service.
Headquartered in Moncton, NB, Spielo also operates a

product line includes video lottery, on-line and central

Spielo Gaming International was incorporated in June, 1990.
Within its first four years, the Company became the undisputed
video gaming leader in Atlantic Canada, gaining a 47% market
share and 55% net revenue in VLTs alone. Today, Spielo sells and
maintains its state-of-the-art terminals, systems
and software across Europe and North America, often bidding
successfully against publicly traded competitors ten times its
size.
FOUNDER
Jon Manship, founder and CEO of Spielo Gaming International, had
almost ten years experience in the amusement/gaming industry
before starting Spielo in June, 1990. Utilizing the research he
amassed from gaming conferences around the world, as well as
expertise amassed through local high technology research
sources, his team designed and built Atlantic Canadas first
video lottery terminal.
In a very short time, Spielo became profitable and began growing
its client base and product line. Jon has led his company to
successful bids for contracts in the USA, Sweden, The
Netherlands, Belgium and across Canada. As a result, the
Company has grown from a handful of employees in a local shop to
over 270 staff in its New Brunswick, Quebec and U.S.
facilities. His vision and entrepreneurial skills have resulted
in Spielo being recognized as one of the pioneers and world
leaders in the lottery industry, delivering the highest quality
lottery systems and the most profitable gaming products in the
world.
Jon was named Entrepreneur of the Year in 1991 by the Federal
Business Development Bank of Canada, won Atlantic Canada's
Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the category of Technology and
Software in 2000, and was named one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40
in 2001.

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES
Two of Spielos key strengths are product development and client
relations. These enable the Company to develop innovative
products and help set industry standards.
Examples:
Spielo was the first manufacturer in the world to design a PC-
based on-line lottery terminal - Dream Station. Its platform is
a combination of hardware and software that makes it the most
expandable and adaptable on-line lottery terminal available, as
well as being very user friendly and easy to operate and
maintain. Dream Station also won the 1999 Editors Choice
Award from Design Engineering Magazine.
Spielos PowerStation 5 is the world's first VLT that provides
G.L.I. approved, field proven downloading capabilities, allowing
lotteries to install new software on an entire network within
hours. PowerStation 5 also has the lowest operating costs of any
VLT on the market. This user-friendly terminal is durable and
easy to service, and the technology is flexible and enables
simple upgrades.
These innovations result from detailed research of our clients
and their markets. Due to our close relations with our clients,
many of them help us penetrate new markets by acting
as ambassadors for Spielo, giving us very positive
references.
Spielo Gaming International received the 1997 Excellence Award
for Innovation from the Greater Moncton Chamber of Commerce and
Greater Moncton Economic Commission. In 2000, the company won
the Outstanding New Business Award for funds raised in its first
year as a United Way member. Spielo was also one of 25
companies shortlisted for the prestigious 2001 Canada Export
Award from the Federal Foreign Affairs Department, and is one of
Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies (2001/02).
