DIGIDEAL’S ALL ABOUT THE FLEXIBILITY E


merging from the ashes of their acquisition by IGT, DigiDeal are out to remind the gaming world of what they are all about: electronic table games, and the flexibility to deliver whatever you need regardless of the


jurisdictional requirements.


The company offers three primary gaming platforms, the DTS-C with live chips and virtual cards, DTS-V, which is an all an all virtual gaming table, and the X-Table, a stand alone gaming system. Dave Krise, Senior VP of Product Development for DigiDeal, says the X-Table has had some exciting developments of late, with a new wagering terminal accompanying it so operators can expand the offering: “We have added the X-Pod to the X-Table, a development which is a stand- alone betting terminal; you can have up to 99 terminals connected to the X-Table with that. In addition to our Classic Series of Blackjack, Baccarat and Hold'em, we will be adding roulette, racing games and even slot content to the X-Pod and X-Table system. It’s similar to many of the other modular systems out there, but it has a much smaller footprint and requires no kiosk or buy-in personnel.


“We call them our plug-and-play system in the office, because it is that simple. There’s no complicated setup, everything is self-contained. It’s not a huge commitment for a casino and with an economical footprint, it takes up a lot less space per seat than some competitors – and in any casino environment, square footage is money.”


This expansion of DigiDeal’s core ideals is borne not only from their innate need to


innovate, but also from customer requirements – like all good developments. Dave added: “Our original focus for the company was the DTS-C and V platforms, which looks and plays


Flexibility is a word you will often hear DigiDeal staff use, and for good reason. Dave is no exception, as flexibility is the key to DigiDeal’s approach. Dave elaborates: “Our focus for all of our products is flexibility. We started the company with a hosted Blackjack type electronic table, but we’ve expanded our product line with the X-Table for a stand-alone dealer-less solution, and the X-Pod for expandability – and in the other direction we also have the DTS- L2V, or Live to Virtual, where we have taken our virtual table, with player tracking and


full back end accountability and added a


live card-dealing shoe to it. “We say ‘we’re the perfect fit for any pit’ in our


advertising, and we mean it. If you’re in a slot-only jurisdiction or a full Vegas style casino we have a product that fits perfectly, whether it's DTS-C with live chips and virtual cards, DTS-L2V live cards and virtual wagering or an all virtual DTS-V that appears and plays like a live table game but is fully electronic and is approved as a slot machine, or if you want a fully standalone system that can be expanded we have the X-Table… We can offer the perfect electronic table solution for nearly every jurisdiction around the world.”


like a live table game with a live dealer, but we’ve been asked in so many jurisdictions to produce a stand-alone terminal. Some of our customers wanted the ability to provide a labour-efficient solution to compete with larger and more expensive solutions.


“X-Table was originally developed as a poker system where each position had


its own bill validator and ticket printer, then we expanded the eight seating positions with the X-Pod. It’s been an evolution from our dealer-hosted tables, and it’s happened because our customers have been asking for it.”
