West Chester, PA, May 2012  MEI is pleased to announce Bob Rudd (BR) has selected the CASHFLOW 9500 Series with DES encryption as the new standard coin mechanism for all their gaming and amusement machines.  With more than 3,000 machines employed across the North of England with depots in Newcastle, Leeds, Warrington, Keswick and Newark, BR is one of the largest gaming operators in the IOA Group.

"We plan to update our entire estate with the 9500 Series coin mechanism," said Kevin Astley, Group Service manager.  "Not only have we found this product to be very reliable, but we are also confident to have made the right decision thanks to MEI's helpful after-sales support and friendly service team."

The CASHFLOW 9500 has the best acceptance rate, most secure fraud defense technology and lowest cost of ownership in the industry.  For maximum machine uptime, it has been designed for easy maintenance and quick upgrades without any changes to hardware.  As BR updates its gaming and amusement inventory, MEI will assist with DES encryption upgrades for the highest level of security, as well as a coin update for the new 5p and 10p coins.

"We are very pleased we have negotiated a deal with MEI for the DES upgrade and coin update," Kevin said.  "It is about time operators did not have to front the costs for every necessary upgrade.  MEI's products are well worth a look."

James Boje, MEI Vice President EMEA, explains, "Our goals at MEI are consistent with those at BR.  We both want to increase our customers' profits by satisfying players and supplying technology with unrivalled performance and dependability."

11th May THE LATEST HORSE RACING TABLE GAME comes to a casino in Mississippi and was recently launched live for play at the Hard Rock Hotel &Casino Biloxi, MI. This is a first for the US East coast and players are already settling in to enjoy the fun and excitement of this new breed of Horse Racing Game.

This fun and exciting new card game offers payouts up to 10-1 and encourages the players to shout and cheer to encourage the horses in the game. It has all of the fun of the race-track and can be enjoyed by individuals or large groups of players.

Bugles sound to mark the start of a race, cards are dealt, the race is called and the animated horse race builds in excitement with every card drawn.  One card is one move and the first suit to display four cards wins. As all of the winning combinations light up at the end of each game, it is easy to see if you have won or lost.

RCD uses many new technologies to create an entire "gaming" experience including automatic card recognition, LED lighting, large flat-screen player display screens and digital audio. Racing Card Derby offers greater entertainment for the players and value for money, a real reason for players to return to the tables time and time again to try their luck.  Make sure to visit the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi to join in with the entertainment and excitement of the Racing Card Derby and be one of the first in the USA to try your luck at this new table game.
