Australian gambling operators are expressing interest in a new style of "skill-based" machines more like video games that are marketed at younger punters who are unlikely to play the traditional, push-button pokies.

GameCo, an international provider of so-called "video game gambling machines", said its products had recently been approved by several US regulators, and it was ready to explore opportunities in Australian jurisdictions.

"Australian operators have shown interest in skill-based [machines] and our games," GameCo chief executive Blaine Graboyes said.

"There are a number of efforts under way within the region to consider how skill-based gaming may be considered."
