THE WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE CITY MEDELLIN GETS THAT MORE INNOVATIVE AGAIN UPON INSTALLING drSCREEN!

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 12:35 AM PDT

 

Medillín, the capital city of the Antioquean region in Colombia, has a great reputation having recently being voted the world's most innovative city. Thus, this is the ideal city for DR Gaming Technology to be active in, a leading company in systems technology where the latest solution – drScreen – is being hailed as the most innovative in the industry.

Jurgen De Munck, Michiel van Dam and Georg Steiner of DRGT at the FADJA Colombia

The casinos Gran Casino de Medellín and the next casino of the Vicca and EGASA groups as well as Casino Aladdin in Cali all have drScreen in common – a revolutionary systems tool, changing the way systems are being perceived in the entire gaming industry. The complex necessity to pass on rewards and benefits to players now is available to all operators in a customer-friendly fashion from DRGT.

drScreen allows operators to communicate directly with each and every player individually. Player attention is naturally focused on the gaming screen and drScreen makes precise use of this. Furthermore, operators can use the screen to inform, entertain and even reward the player, resulting in players wanting to spend more time on such gaming machines that offer this form of unique entertainment from DRGT. Players no longer have to squint and stare at a tiny screen to receive such information – the entire gaming screen is put to addition use.

drScreen offers the ability to channel promotions and rewards to players making use of the player card. In this way, such information can now be targeted to each individual player and displayed directly on the gaming screen – thanks to drScreen. The possibilities to reach out to the player become almost endless, including advertising, raffles, rewards, etc.

DR Gaming Technology demonstrated exactly why it is the most complete and flexible systems solutions provider at the FADJA (La Feria Andina de Juegos de Azar 2013) that took place between 3rd and 4th April at the Centro de Conferencias Corferias de Bogotá, Colombia.

DRGT uses serverless technology. This considerably simplifies daily systems operations. All data are sent to the operator of each individually connected gaming machine. No expensive servers are required, neither additional IT specialists. This has a direct impact on reducing the systems cost, putting systems in reach of any kind of operator.

In addition to all of this, DRGT connects all gaming machines – no matter the age or manufacturer. This means that operators no longer have to forsake favourite older machines when introducing a system in their gaming location. Even the oldest reel-based slot machines can be connected.

DRGT technology naturally covers the complete gaming range, including table games. drTable, drRoulette and drCage can be integrated into the system for tables and cages. The Casino Automatic Redemption Machine from DRGT – drCarm – rounds off the entire solution. Here again Medellin will be the first Latin-American installation as Gran Casino de Medellin is installing its drCarm directly following the FADJA.

Mr. Jurgen De Munck, CEO and co-founder of DRGT, looks back at a very pleasing FADJA Colombia, stating, "Our systems technology is giving operators real, unique benefits. Major casino groups are embracing drScreen. We thank all the visitors to our stand at FADJA and greatly appreciate the time they gave us to learn more about how DRGT can help their business".

Miss. Thalia Vargas, Sales Manager at DRGT Peru, adds, "Our serverless technology that can connect all slots is making the difference. That coupled with the unique benefits of drScreen and the fact that we work in a flexible, modular way with our systems technology has opened the systems door to the entire gaming market, particularly here in Latin America".
