What Kajot does
Kajot is a privately held Czech gaming technology company founded in 1996, headquartered in Brno with a technology center also in Brno and operations/service centers in Ostrava and Bratislava. The company operates three integrated business lines: (i) development and manufacture of video lottery terminal (VLT) systems and gaming cabinets under multiple proprietary platforms — Red Planet, Black Planet, Blue Planet, Yellow Planet (60+ games), Green Planet (flagship Vikings), and the newer K7/Diamond Planet — running on in-house cabinet hardware including the NEO 23/24 Orbis/27 series and the Panther 32/27 series unveiled at ICE London 2024; (ii) direct operation of the KAJOT INTACTO chain of gaming halls, casinos and entertainment centers across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Croatia; and (iii) the KAJOTgames online division producing HTML5 casino games for licensing to international operators, plus KAJOTWIN, a directly operated online casino for the Slovak market with brand ambassador Patrik "Rytmus" Vrbovský. The company also runs KAJOT Poker tournament operations.
The revenue model combines transaction-fee income from owned gaming venues, hardware sales of VLT terminals and cabinets to third-party operators, licensing royalties from online game content distributed to casino operators, and direct online casino revenue in Slovakia. Distribution is hybrid: direct for KAJOT INTACTO venues and KAJOTWIN, channel-partner based for international hardware expansion (notably the exclusive MGA distribution partnership covering Spain since March 2017), and OEM/white-label-style licensing for online game content deployed with operators including Super Igra (Croatia), Gaming 1/Circus (Romania) and SynotTip via EASIT (Latvia). Marketing combines international trade shows (ICE London, Belgrade Future Gaming, BEGE, Entertainment Arena Expo), venue-level promotions and an ambassador-led online brand push.
The company is regulated across multiple jurisdictions, holding an MGA B2B license (MGA/B2B/397/2017), a Romanian Class II license from ONJN, Latvian market certification, and game/RNG certification from BMM Spain Testlabs. KAJOT has no external funding rounds and no M&A activity disclosed in available materials, consistent with a privately controlled, organically grown operator. Headcount is in the 501–1,000 band, and the company has historically expanded via parallel investment in new cabinet hardware, new game platforms, new online-licensee integrations, and incremental KAJOT INTACTO venue openings.
