years he was Director of Sales for a large restaurant and event management company, where he increased sales by 50 per cent in just six months. The group is banking on his knowledge and strong customer focused experience to provide an added advantage to grow sales in the region.
Debuts and revamps at G2E Asia Held earlier this year in May, the premier gaming
event for the region, G2E Asia was the ideal stage for TCSJOHNHUXLEY to debut new products and developments in the group’s award winning systems. Following a multi-year global distribution
agreement with Gaming Commerce Pty Ltd., TCSJOHNHUXLEY debuted BaccPo at G2E Asia; a new fast-paced table game that combines the thrill of blackjack, a simple hand ranking system similar to baccarat, and the adversarial elements of poker. Demonstrations ran regularly throughout the two-
day expo to showcase BaccPo to industry professionals and land-based casino operators. The TCSJOHNHUXLEY stand registered significant traffic from interested industry professionals eager to find out more. “The ability to offer baccarat players a fast paced
alternative, as well as allowing expanded game play, is a major advantage, especially in this region where baccarat is king,” explains Group Product Development Director Simon Witty. He is convinced both BaccPo and BaccPo Poker “will add a whole new
dimension to player enjoyment, appealing to a much wider audience than the traditional games.”
Quicker, more versatile, better? Unlike traditional baccarat, BaccPo is not governed
by a tableau of fixed rules, and instead brings a level of skill into play. It can be offered as a casino – house – game, as well as a peer-to-peer table game. Hand play is also much quicker than in blackjack, which means more excitement and enjoyment for the player, and ultimately more repeat customers for the casino. Greatly enhanced game pace, coupled with a small but positive increased house advantage for the casino version, means BaccPo has definite potential to outperform traditional baccarat in terms of hourly revenue for the casino operator. Initially launched at Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia at the beginning of the year, BaccPo has been equally popular among players seeking an alternative thrill to traditional table games currently offered in casinos worldwide. Penetration and diffusion of the game in the Asian market is just the next step. The peer-to-peer version incorporates the
adversarial play of poker with hand rankings similar to baccarat. This adaptation of BaccPo offers casino operators enormous promotional opportunities, with the potential to generate unprecedented brand awareness through large televised tournaments, to be broadcast to key audiences, and used to attract a greater share of the high roller and VIP markets.
