Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:34 AM PDT

 

 

GLENDALE, Calif., — August 20, 2013 — FutureLogic, Inc., the world's leading developer of innovative ticket printing and couponing solutions, announces today that its GEN2 Universal™ printer has been selected by Groupe Partouche and Groupe Tranchant, along with several leading independent casinos, totaling more than 70 casino sites, as the preferred thermal ticket printer for the roll-out of Ticket-In-Ticket-Out (TITO) across France.

After a careful evaluation process, Groupe Partouche, the largest casino operator in France with 42 casinos, selected the GEN2 Universal™ printer for their TITO roll-out. Another of the largest casino operators and owners in France, Groupe Tranchant, has also specified the GEN2 Universal™ printer across all its 16 casinos. In addition, several leading independent casinos supported the decision to go with FutureLogic, specifying the GEN2 Universal™ as their printer of choice due to its unmatched performance and reliability.

"We are delighted with the selection of the GEN2 Universal™ printers by such a technically savvy group of operators," said Anette Jauch, FutureLogic's Sales & Marketing Manager EMEA. "The French operators recognize FutureLogic's commitment to delivering best-in-class TITO printers as well as providing an outstanding service to our customers. Looking ahead, as operators look beyond ticket printing, the GEN2 Universal offers future-proof connectivity to FutureLogic's PromoNet® promotional couponing solution enabling operators to reward high value new and anonymous players."

"With some of the highest average net wins per day of any market anywhere in the world, France is an incredibly competitive and complex market. French casino operators are constantly evaluating new technologies and innovations to remain competitive, and so we have been working hard to help them realize the operational benefits and revenue uplift that comes with the introduction of TITO", explained Laurent Gaubout, owner of LGS Gaming and FutureLogic's agent for France. "France is a very important gaming market for Europe and for FutureLogic, and the GEN2 Universal printer is a perfect fit for the growing French market and the increasing interest in both ticket printing and promotional couponing."

Ready for promotional couponing, the GEN2 Universal printer can provide operators with separate and secure processing environments for both TITO and promotional couponing. Moreover, equipped with a 50% larger standard ticket capacity, the GEN2 Universal™ printer can also save operators up to 20 refills or $200 (€150) per printer annually. Further reducing costs, the unit eliminates paper waste by consuming the ticket stack down to the last ticket.

London Affiliate Conference 2014 to move to new venue

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 05:43 AM PDT

20 AUGUST 2013 (LONDON, UK) – The London Affiliate Conference (LAC), now in its eighth year will be taking place in London on the 6th - 9th February 2014. Conference organisers, iGaming Business, have today announced that the conference will be moving to a new venue for 2014, the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London.

Last year, the event was a huge success with over 3,000 people in attendance – the biggest London event to date. And this year, to accommodate for the increased number of delegates and exhibitors, the conference has had to move to a bigger venue.

Earls Court Exhibition Centre is an exhibition, conference and events venue in London that opened in 1937. It is located within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and is the largest such venue in central London, and has a number of purpose built conference rooms.

"We are extremely excited that the show has grown to the extent that we have to move venue," said Shona ODonnell, Head of Operations for iGaming Business. "The success of the London Affiliate Conference is down to the ongoing support that we have had from our exhibitors, speakers and delegates and we hope that they will be as excited by this move, and the new opportunities that will be available, as we are," continued ODonnell.

The 2014 event will also see the addition of a new Marketing Acquisition zone which will feature a wide variety of service providers in the digital marketing sphere.

Just seven days from release the floor plan is already 47% sold making it seem very likely this event will eclipse last years.  The London Affiliate Conference is an international event with over 80+ exhibitors and sponsors and over 3,000 delegates, bringing together affiliates and affiliate programs within the online gambling industry.

The London Affiliate Conference will be held at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London on the 6th – 9th February 2014. For more information on the event please visit www.LondonAffiliateConference.com. Affiliates attend free of charge as per all iGB Affiliate events.
