Nice full page article in the smh over the weekend.
Here's a link that refers to the company. Looks like we are really starting to put runs on the board in the US.

Also a article in the fin review last week.
Ainsworth (AGI)
This small-cap company has flown largely under the radar, but the stock has climbed steadily since January, and has a one-year return of more than 450 per cent.
Both Macquarie Group and Bank of America Merrill Lynch have given Ainsworth an “outperform” and “buy” recommendation, respectively, and say its focus on the US market is one of the pillars for growth.
Evans says what it really comes down to is the player experience, which has given Ainsworth an advantage over some other gaming companies.
“It’s all about bums on seats and how many coins and notes you can put into a machine, because that’s the huge revenue spinner for pubs and clubs,” he says.
“If you can prove, based on your data, that your machine can do a certain amount over a certain time period, then that is what [buyers] are looking for.”
Ainsworth’s continued earnings certainty really depends on how well the company can penetrate the US market, Mr Evans says. But he cautions against being overly optimistic, because at the end of the day, a gaming machine company is really at the mercy of the buyer.
