G2E 2012 DRGT steps out…


Server-free innovators step away from Sands Expo with Palazzo suite


The innovative solutions of DRGT continue


to raise the bar of systems solutions in the gaming market. The fact that DRGT solutions are serverless offers a whole new world of benefits for operators. Indeed, operators are changing the way they see systems. Systems are no longer a complex subject matter but a great new marketing channel. For example, drScreen enables targeted marketing directly on the slot screen before the player’s eyes. The modular, flexible solutions from DRGT are cost-efficient and enable operators to implement what they need when they need it. Furthermore, DRGT systems connect to any gaming machine – no matter the age or manufacture. Thus, DRGT systems are perfect for the smallest to the largest gaming location.


The Coltrane’s unique


features include molded, ergonomically-contoured foam cushions. The backrest foam has lumbar support and its shape contours to the body. Seat foam also provides a front edge that offers better leg circulation. Other new technologies included Gasser Chair’s unique Easy-Change seat and backrest system, their Comfort Zone FlexBack technology and a new exclusive 360-degree memory return swivel that was designed without using any springs. The Coltrane’s integrated backrest hand pull, and lighter weight, durable aluminum base with mega-glides, eases its movement by either customers or casino employees. Gasser describes beneficial company


promotions for existing customers. He says, “We have a trade-in program for our chairs on location less than 10 years. Customers may want to change their décor and this green program is an incentive. They also benefit by being able to use their old furniture up until the new furniture actually arrives.” Gasser Chair also takes back its own 20 to


30-year-old products to be refurbished or properly recycled. Gasser claims, “Many customers find compelling advantages to selecting factory-refurbished seating.” Recently, Gasser Chair secured seating

Within the space of 12 months, the


number of gaming machines globally connected by DRGT has risen from 8,000 to over 20,000. Naturally DRGT was present in Las Vegas to inform the global market of new exciting possibilities. This year the DRGT management decided a new, innovative way to reach out to the market - by renting a suite at the Palazzo Hotel right near to the Las Vegas Convention Center. There was ample room in a relaxed, friendly environment for visitors to learn the benefits of fitting DRGT in their location(s). Mr. Jurgen De Munck, CEO and co-founder


of DRGT, explains the choice of location: “We at DRGT are selling complex solutions that once implemented greatly simplify the casino floor management. Thus, we need time to explain the whole world of DRGT systems solutions. We said to ourselves – we are serverless, thus this year in Las Vegas we were


Crane Payment Solutions, with the well-


known CashCode, NRI and Money Controls brands under its umbrella, had their oneCheck cash management system on show at G2E. Now available with FutureLogic’s Gen 2 Universal printer, as well as Transact’s EPIC 950 printer, this technology will be used in several new upcoming casino locations. Also revealed at the show was oneCheck SQLdatabase Release 9 with the daily emailable dashboard functionality. Also of note on the stand was the oneTrack cash management system, an RFID-based technology which provides soft count and cash management solution to improve efficiency; the Money Controls Ardac Elite, the industry’s first bill validator with full scan technology and last bill image. “Crane Payment Solutions is all about


excellent local service & support, and innovative product features which exceed the customer’s expectations and stay ahead of technology and trends.

Director at DRGT, added: “This setting was an excellent environment for meet and greet our customers. We place great emphasis on exhibitions and have already attended a great deal as exhibitor this year. At the forthcoming ICE in London, we have secured a large 130 m2 stand in a central position.”


manufacturing and a much greater range of design possibilities, which of course means better branding opportunities and security. Casinos have the ability to create a highly customizable chip that can incorporate their logo or other key elements into the mold making B&G Premium Chips an excellent alternative to standard mold designs. Also on the stand was the new J2 jeton, which GPI says is a groundbreaker, combining the aesthetics and security of European jetons with the handling of an American style chip. Featuring color edge spots that allow easy identification when in racks or stacks, the J2 can include a wide range of decal and printing options not available on traditional jetons, including holograms, diffraction foils and more. Speaking of security, GPI also exhibited the


4C-UV, which uses standard UV frequency light to reveal a full-color photograph on the chip decal; combined with GPI’s MicroDots, you have a simple, very high level of security against counterfeiters. MicroDots combines the
