About us
OUR VISION
We see the ACMS Group, as the pre-eminent gaming and casino management company, within a 3 to 5 year period.
ACMS will manage and have equity positions in a select number of casino gaming operations globally, mostly within the emerging markets and fast-growth economies.
OUR MISSION
Leveraging off ACMS’s extensive management skills and deep experience, ACMS will ensure a quality of service that will be difficult to surpass in the gaming industry and will deliver high performing gambling and gaming assets.
OUR OBJECTIVES
Initially the ACMS Group will look to carefully select and secure management contracts for casinos across Eastern Europe and Africa, thus creating a platform for a high quality portfolio of gaming assets.
The long-term intention is for the development of new project initiatives and strategic acquisitions of under-performing or non-performing assets specifically in the small to medium and boutique casino environment within the smaller jurisdictions.
OUR APPROACH
A tight, hands-on management focus on operational efficiencies, whilst also driving visitation, will ensure that our assets perform to their full potential.

The teams’ quantum of gaming knowledge covers the entire spectrum of gaming operations from large resort and mega-casinos to small boutique operations.
