Racing Card Derby enjoys strong early running
R
ecently the innovative new table game Racing Card Derby – along with automatic card recognition unit ICU2 – went live for play on a cruise-ship casino. Play was strong throughout the 24-hour days and the game had many people staying onboard to continue to play.
“The excitement created by these primarily non-English speaking players was
encouraging,” said Racing Card Derby’s Anthony Brown. “The game was played by people from China, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam and all seemed to have a good level of entertainment from the game. The entertainment value of the horses and ease of learning to play seemed to be very effective and the casino management was extremely happy with their new table game. Racing Card Derby looks set to be a winner for any casino with the game attracting 70 per cent women and 30 per cent male players. The game is fully automatic and there is no room for dealer error. RCD has a full back end log for complete gaming analysis allowing management to access statistics such as hands per hour etc. All Dealer, Surveillance, Technical, Assembly and Management training is provided and Procedure/Dealer manuals are supplied all free-of-charge. Anthony added: “We are working
closely with the Gaming Control Boards in Nevada, the Philippines, and our next field trial should start within the next 4-6 weeks. We are working on a strategy of one RCD table per 30 table games. RCD manufactures each table as per the casino’s requirements to ensure the table colour scheme fits in well with other games and we print your company logo on the Red/Black area within the betting layout.”

Casinò Lipica hosts double installation for Aristocrat
rand Casinò Lipica, part of Slovenia-based Casinò Portoroz group, has delivered two European firsts for Aristocrat Technologies,
with the simultaneous launch of Viridian Lowboy (Chop Top) standalone games and Aristocrat’s Triple Standalone Progressive, Hillbillions. The package, which included a number of Double
Standalone Progressives and standalone GEN7 games installed on the gaming floors in both Lipica and Portoroz, also saw the first placement of Bank Buster Hyperlink in Slovenia. President of the Board, Casinò Portoroz d.d., Marjan
Bolka commented: “We were the first group in Slovenia to purchase Aristocrat product many years ago and the first casino to have an online system. Aristocrat products always perform well above floor average for us, generating consistently good income. We are delighted to be the first hosts of this new technology, not only locally but across Europe , having no doubt that our customers will respond positively and that this will be reflected in performance levels.” Slot Director, Ales Turk added: “The introduction of
TITO gave us the opportunity to upgrade our gaming floors with a new and varied suite of games, including the use of new Viridian games and Lowboy cabinets to open up the slot layout. The success we enjoyed with Zorro prompted us to invest in more standalone progressives while our existing Hyperlinks, Cash Express and Jackpot Carnival, have always performed well above expectations – so the introduction of Bank Buster, a new, multi-feature Viridian offering for our link players, was also an obvious choice.”
Gran Casino Costa Brava specifies MEI CASHFLOW SC G
ran Casino Costa Brava in Spain opened in July with MEI CASHFLOW SC note validators on its slot floor. The casino is located on the coast of Lloret de Mar, a popular tourist destination northeast of Barcelona and has seen over 1,000
visitors per day since its opening. Francisco Fiol, slot director at Gran Casino Costa Brava, was
involved in the selection of MEI: “The note validator is of vital importance to slot play and our property’s success requires the best note validator in the marketplace. Our strategy is to welcome the players with the best technology in the best atmosphere possible; choosing the MEI CASHFLOW SC fits in with this strategy. Its acceptance rates are excellent and we have not needed to service them. We have specified MEI on all of our Unidesa, Novomatic, Williams, Atronic and GoldClub machines.” MEI introduced the MEI CASHFLOW SC note validator to
the casino executive board during the planning stage. “MEI introduced the best note validator in the market to Gran Casino Costa Brava,” said Mark Greenawalt, VP of Gaming EMEA. “The excellent feedback from casinos specifying MEI around the world motivated the
50 DECEMBER 2010
property to specify CASHFLOW SC on its slot machines. We appreciate Gran Casino Costa Brava’s support and thank them for specifying MEI.”
