President and CEO of PlayAGS, David Lopez, discusses the company's decision to go public. PlayAGS is a slot machine maker based in Nevada valued at $550 million.
PlayAGS is offering more than 10 million shares, priced at $17 per share. Lopez says every 1% of the market PlayAGS picks up equals $90 million in revenue for the company.
Lopez says the gaming industry is resistant to a soft economy. He views the recent tax overhaul as a benefit to his company because it allows for more spending on equipment and gives players more money to spend.
