Strategic Expansion In Northern Nevada

The acquisition marks a significant milestone in Accel’s Nevada growth strategy, as stated by CEO Andy Rubenstein. Dynasty Games has established a strong reputation for integrity and long-term relationships, qualities that Accel aims to build upon. The newly acquired assets, managed by Accel subsidiary Century Gaming Technologies Nevada, will extend Accel’s reach into communities such as Gardnerville, Verdi, Dayton, Fernley, Stagecoach, and Sun Valley. This expansion complements Accel’s existing footprint in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Elko, Wells, Spring Creek, and Carlin.

Rubenstein highlighted that this integration solidifies Accel’s position as having the most comprehensive and scaled route coverage in Nevada, a competitive advantage expected to drive future growth and new location development. Dynasty Games owner Roger Fuller expressed confidence in the transition, emphasizing Accel’s commitment to customer care and the local market, which he believes will benefit the acquired locations and their patrons.

Integration and Future Outlook

Accel plans to integrate the Dynasty Games assets using its established operational framework, which includes data analytics and the Gamblers Bonus Loyalty Program. These tools are designed to enhance customer engagement and activity at the newly added sites. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, Accel’s Nevada operations already serviced 370 locations with 2,757 gaming terminals. The company’s broader expansion efforts have seen it grow from operating in one state six years ago to being active in multiple markets, managing over 28,000 electronic gaming terminals across more than 4,500 businesses. This includes ownership of Fairmount Park – Casino & Racing.

While financial terms of the Dynasty Games acquisition were not disclosed, Accel’s recent financial performance indicates a strong foundation for such strategic moves. The company recently secured a $900 million senior secured credit facility, enhancing its liquidity and balance sheet strength. Accel Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:ACEL) shares saw a slight increase, closing 0.34 percent higher at $10.36 per share on Tuesday.
