VNE again shows why it is the number one in Italy for change machine at ENADA Rimini

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 01:02 PM PDT

 

 

 

VNE  the number one change machine manufacturer in Italy naturally had a strong presence at the ENADA Rimini that took place between 12th and 15th March.

The combination of exceptional security, excellent Italian design and key services makes VNE continue to stand proud as the most sought-after change machine company for Italian operators.

VNE change machines incorporate the best industry components placed in a very secure cabinet. For example, the double metal-sheeted door with large, strong and sturdy hinges all the way down it makes choosing VNE change machines the right choice for so many operators.

The requirements for change machines in the Italian gaming market vary according to the operator requirements for AWP, VLT or a combination of both. The VNE product range naturally provides the right solution. The Super Change VLT and Queen Change are focused for the VLT market together with the Cheque machine that prints out winnings in the form of cheques to players.

The Viking change machine continues to show the way of the future with its design and component choice. The new biometrics even allows operators better management of the change machine. Service is an area that plays a dominant role for VNE management. Operators can decide between purchasing or renting the VNE change machines. All VNE change machines can be linked online. Thus, operators have clear, real-time information. Change machines naturally hold a large amount of money so need to be ahead of the game. That means that VNE offers a device to track all their change machines – even when the power is off – displaying on Google Maps the exact location of each individual change machine.

This year's ENADA Rimini saw VNE introduce a further service to the market called ToolGame. ToolGame is a complete operational software tool that allows operators to have full control not only of their VNE change machines but of all their AWPs (Comma 6a) as well. Such data includes personal information, machine licences and approvals. The complete machine data history is available at a click of a button. Operators can use this dynamic management tool to organise and thus optimise their journeys to the gaming locations. Direct notifications of damages, jams, alarms or suchlike are passed on to the operator. Entire machine analysis with immediate reports makes ToolGame an essential tool for Italian gaming operators.

Mr. Lorenzo Verona, Commercial Director at VNE, looks back on a very pleasing ENADA Rimini, stating, "VNE is being seen more and more as a full service company. Our change machines naturally are our main business and the demand continues to increase in Italy. We are building the complete support business around the change machines. Operators appreciate the services we offer. We even calculated that implementing ToolGame can save operators up to seventy euros per machine per month. Operators appreciate that they have a strong partner at their side with VNE".

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 05:27 AM PDT

Germany's largest casino group  WestSpiel now offers players the possibility to play on Interblock electronic roulettes at two of their casino locations.

Casino Aachen offers the very latest electronic roulette from Interblock with eighteen player positions. Casino Aachen's slot manager, Mr. Thomas Stoßberg, was indeed immediately impressed by the 30 player position Interblock installation in Dortmund, commenting – "As soon as I saw the Interblock at Casino Hohensyburg, it struck me what an excellent design it has. It has true style and is so different to the conventional alternatives. It is a real eye-catcher". The popularity of the Interblock Organic in Dortmund further underlined the opportunities having an Interblock G4 Organic would bring to the casino in Aachen. "The players in Aachen agree. Our long-standing players immediately took to the Interblock G4 Organic that is situated right in the middle of our casino. Such excellent player feedback naturally transfers into positive results for the casino".

The Interblock G4 Organic in Aachen offers ten player positions around the roulette wheel that has Swarowski crystals embedded into it. Two waves of four player positions complete this new highlight in Aachen. The unique design is mirrored by its ergonomic configuration. For example, players at Casino Aachen have often commented on how comfortable the Interblock seats are. The large display with extensive information is a further reason why players are drawn to the Interblock G4 Organic. "The additional player information that Interblock offers is very much appreciated. The players not only see information on past winning numbers. The statistics are presented very thoroughly and in a way that is easy to understand", added Mr. Stoßberg.

Spirit Gaming is the official Interblock distributor in the German-speaking countries – thus in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Mr. Frank Ziegler, Managing Director of Spirit Gaming, underlines the unique benefits that Interblock offers, stating, "The first key element is the unique design that catches the eye immediately. Secondly, the Interblock quality and ergonomics mean that it is built to last and players can enjoy long-lasting gaming on it. Thirdly, the extensive details provided on large screens in a very customer-friendly manner gives players all the information they need. Fourthly, naturally the strong support we provide underpins the long-standing success casino managers can expect from Interblock electronic multi-player solutions. We are very proud to have two casinos of the WestSpiel now offering Interblock solutions. The feedback is excellent. Interblock is on the way to set a new reference for electronic roulettes in Germany".
