Gaming Machines Underpin Aristocrat's Wide Economic Moat
We expect Aristocrat Leisure to continue to dominate the electronic gaming machine market, particularly in North America. With a strong balance sheet and commanding market position, Aristocrat's research and development expenditure is unmatched by peers. This investment is the lifeblood of any electronic gaming manufacturer, especially given rapidly changing technology and consumer demands, and allows Aristocrat to maintain game quality, differentiate products from lower-end competitors, and defend its wide economic moat.
