"Following on from the group's update on 5 February 2018, the good growth trends have continued to the end of April," it said.
"Sales and, given the high operational gearing of the business, profits for 2017/18 to date are therefore slightly above expectations."
At its half-year results back in January, Games reported a 54% jump in sales to £108.9m, as pre-tax profit rose to £38.8m from £13.8m in the same period a year ago.
The company is due to announce its full-year results in early June.
At 0900 BST, the shares were down 0.6% to 2,425p.
