G2E 2010 Abbiati The Italy-based Roulette specialists enjoyed a
their Organic Island concept, where a player can choose to play a game from any Organic gaming machine on the location, which supports the multi-game principle. The company was also happy with the show,
as Tim Richards, VP Product Management at Interblock’s US arm, said: “G2E 2010 seemed much busier with many more decision makers attending the show. “The customers were very excited. They were
happy to see our multi-game game ability along with our new games. Many North American customers have been exposed to electronic table games like Roulette and Blackjack but when they visited the Interblock stand, the array of products that we offer and how cohesive the different type of games look together was a very powerful message.” The future looks very bright for Interblock as
they continue to expand into North America. Aristocrat
This year, Aristocrat Technologies Inc. went all out with their most diverse G2E display in 10 years. The company showcased more than 230 games, new cabinets, new math models, new Oasis 360 modules and greater innovation. Vice President Global Games Doug Fallon
states, “This G2E was one of our busiest ever, with continuous activity all three days. We received positive customer feedback around our products. Our stronger retooled product line will give us the advantage as the economy revives.” Aristocrat exhibited three innovative
widescreen cabinets. The VERVE hd was shown in a 32-inch portrait mode. The VIRIDIAN WS features improved ergonomics, easier accessibility and two huge screens. The Vii slant is four inches slimmer and offers hi-def LCD monitors. More than 270

positive and successful G2E, achieving their goal of meeting potential new clients and making important contacts. The company’s customised live gaming tables were of particular interest, as were their RFID chips and plaques. Another new area of interest is Abbiati’s line of ceramic chips, coming in at an attractive price and with the quality we associate with the Abbiati name it’s no surprise they were popular. Giorgio Abbiati said after the show, “Our main goal for the coming year will remain to keep improving the product line, trying new designs and materials and looking for new technologies. Abbiati will concentrate to look for the best quality, that could be combined with the best price offer. Looking for new partnerships and valuable collaborations will also make a part of the next year’s plan.”
General Touch With 10 years of experience under their
belts, General Touch showed a strong line of touchscreen products to customers at G2E. A new family of touchscreen monitors were on display, and they did not disappoint; large- screen, multi-touch and 3D touchscreens all wowed visitors. It’s only a matter of time before touchscreens
are the norm in gaming with slots designed to get the best out of the technology. Multi-touch will play a big part in the evolution of slots as a fully interactive and immersive experience, and General Touch will be leading the line as slots evolve.
Novomatic European-based slot giant Novomatic Casino Technology Bulgaria’s slot masters Casino Technology
showcased more than 40 new releases at G2E, all housed in CT’s stylish slot cabinets. Game suites Motormania, Falcon Heroes and Gamopolis – City of Games promise to be every bit as successful for the company as their other titles have proved. Casino Technology continue to push into Latin America, but also into the US as they have made inroads into California’s tribal casinos in 2010. This is leading to further interest from that area of gaming, though Casino Technology are reporting installations to come in Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Argentina and Mexico.
