Accel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:ACEL) ("Accel" or "the Company"), a leading locals-focused gaming operator partnering with small businesses, local communities, and state governments to provide entertaining, convenient, and safe gaming experiences nationwide, announced today that its subsidiary, Century Gaming Technologies Nevada, has acquired the route operation assets of Dynasty Games in a transaction expected to be accretive to Accel's 2026 financial results. Financial details were not disclosed.
The acquisition expands Accel's Northern Nevada platform with 20 new active locations, two additional locations pending regulatory approval, and approximately 123 electronic gaming terminals. The transaction is expected to leverage Accel's operational expertise, data analytics, and Gamblers Bonus® Loyalty Program to enhance customer engagement and drive incremental growth over the coming years. As of September 30, 2025, Accel's existing Nevada operations serviced 370 locations featuring 2,757 gaming terminals.
"This strategic and accretive acquisition marks an important milestone in our Nevada growth strategy," said Andy Rubenstein, Chief Executive Officer of Accel Entertainment. "Dynasty Games has built a trusted reputation rooted in integrity and long-term relationships, and we're excited to build on that legacy while expanding Accel's best-in-class route operations across Northern Nevada."
Rubenstein continued, "This transaction strengthens Accel's Nevada market presence, establishing new operations in Gardnerville, Verdi, Dayton, Fernley, Stagecoach, and Sun Valley. Combined with our existing footprint in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Elko, Wells, Spring Creek, and Carlin, Accel now operates the most comprehensive and scaled route coverage in the state – a competitive advantage that is expected to drive continued growth and new location development."
"After more than 30 years serving Northern Nevada's gaming community, it was important to find a partner who values relationships and integrity as much as results," said Roger Fuller, Owner of Dynasty Games. "Century Gaming Technologies has earned a strong reputation through its emphasis on customer care, and I'm excited to see our locations and customers benefit from Accel's experience and dedication to the local market."
