Amatic Industries gearing up for G2E

Posted: 07 Sep 2012 11:23 AM PDT

The premium manufacturer of Multi Game and electronic roulette solutions from Austria – Amatic Industries – will be displaying its dedication to the American market at the forthcoming G2E. These exciting solutions will be on display by two distinct partners.

Turbo Card Roulette from Amatic Industries

INAG will again be displaying the Turbo Card Roulette from Amatic Industries. The Turbo Card Roulette is an ingenious alternative roulette solution. Instead of a roulette wheel and ball, a card-mixing unit (shuffler – invented and patented by Mark Jones from INAG) takes its place that holds 38 cards. Like in roulette there can be only one winning number and colour combined. Amatic Industries provides the electronic terminals (Satellites) and the necessary networking between the Turbo Card Shuffler and each individual terminal. This in-depth technology from Amatic Industries now enables operators to offer this great solution from INAG to more players at a time.

The masters of Multi Game will naturally be offering the great games mix to the American and international markets. Here Amatic Industries has teamed up with an industry leader in the manufacture of gaming cabinets – namely Cole Kepro International. Amatic Industries will be offering Multi Game in kit form within the diverse cabinet choice of Cole Kepro International.

Mr. Thomas Engstberger, sales manager at Amatic Industries, is looking forward to the G2E, stating, "Next year we will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Amatic Industries. As pioneer in Multi Game, we have pleasure in focusing on the US marker alongside Latin America where we have exhibited at numerous shows there recently. Our electronic roulette solutions are of exquisite design, incorporating the best and latest technology. We are bringing real class entertainment to the gaming market".

 

 

Complete DRGT solutions in demand in Peru

Posted: 07 Sep 2012 11:11 AM PDT

DR Gaming Technology (DRGT) once again exhibited at a gaming exhibition in Peru – this time the Peru Gaming Show that took place between 16th and 17th August at the Jockey Exposition Center in Lima, Peru. The Latin American headquarters of DRGT are situated in Lima. Thus, the Peru Gaming Show was a local exhibition for DRGT.

The serverless secure systems solutions from DRGT are ideal for gaming operators in Peru with the new legal requirement to connect all gaming machines. 50 casinos have already signed up. Operators are making use of the fact that with DRGT they can connect their complete slot park.

The DRGT presence in Latin America was reflected in its stand size – which continues to grow. A phenomenal number of over 5,000 slots in Peru have been connected with DRGT's systems in less than six weeks. As DRGT's systems are completely modular and flexible, operators can build on further add-ons at the time that best suits themselves.

Mr. De Munck summed up this transformation, "Within the space of a few short months we have moved from being a newcomer to a strong partner in the Peruvian gaming market. This is because we have introduced real innovation that operators have welcomed with open arms. Serverless systems bring major benefits and simplify the complete networking process. We are making a highly complicated section of the gaming industry simple to use. As we can connect all slots, operators can keep the slots they want on the floor and are not forced to take away older, yet still popular slots. Thus, we can place our systems in all slot technologies. Our modular solutions mean that operators can invest in accounting today, knowing that a whole world of further benefits can easily be added, such as jackpots, bonusing, player tracking, cashless and ticketing".

Networking slot machines for accounting purposes marks the beginning of a whole world of new opportunities for Peruvian gaming operators. Already casino operators are looking to incorporate cashless or ticket-in, ticket-out. "By the end of this year we will have equipped at least 13 casinos here with drCashless and/or drTicket. The next logical step is to then offer linked jackpots", noted Mr. De Munck.

Mr. Georg Steiner, Senior Business Development Director at DRGT, added, "We have come a very long way in a short period of time. With a strong team here at DRGT Peru, we are in the driving seat to provide the most beneficial, cost-effective systems solutions to the market. We are very proud of having 50 casinos already signed up. Now the focus is expanding these opportunities that include cashless, TITO and wide-area progressive mystery jackpots".
