Accel Entertainment's Montana subsidiary, Century Gaming, has completed a full machine conversion at Northern Winz Casino II in Box Elder, Montana. The Chippewa Cree Tribe retired its 51 legacy, privately owned electronic gaming terminals and replaced them entirely with 51 new Century Gaming machines powered by Century's proprietary systems platform. Century Gaming has operated at the Tribe's adjacent Northern Winz Casino for several years, where it vends 49 machines on that location's broader gaming floor. Prior to the conversion, Northern Winz Casino II operated legacy, privately owned terminals that had reached the end of their useful life. The conversion equips Northern Winz Casino II with Century's full suite of proprietary systems.

Accel Entertainment announced that its subsidiary, Toucan Gaming, acquired the assets of Rice Palace and South Louisiana Gaming, the owner and operator of Rice Palace Truck Stop Casino. The transaction is consistent with Accel's long-term focus on disciplined growth and continued strategic, accretive investments in the state. Financial details were not disclosed. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Toucan acquired the Rice Palace facility, adding 50 Video Gaming Devices, VGDs, to its expanding Louisiana route operations. Toucan and Accel plan to scale the location's capacity to 60 VGDs in the near term, representing an approximate 8% increase in its VGD count compared to the 728 Louisiana route VGDs Accel reported as of March 31, 2026.

Reports Q1 revenue $351.56M, consensus $343.64M. Accel CEO, Andy Rubenstein, commented, "Accel delivered another strong quarter to open 2026, delivering our highest ever Q1 adjusted EBITDA. First quarter revenue increased approximately 9% year-over-year to an all-time quarterly record of $352 million, driven by continued strength across our platform and solid hold-per-day growth in Illinois and across our developing markets."
