the rest of the cast of Baywatch and the mighty Hulk Hogan. Partnering with companies such as MX Digital, allows OpenBet to ensure that its content remains fresh and gives access to a world of showbiz celebrities. David Loveday at OpenBet, said: “The Hoff

Back at G2E after a three-year hiatus, during which they hosted their own very successful solo event at The Palms, TCSJOHNHUXLEY continues to develop and strengthen as a company. The breadth of product they have available now is a stark contrast to just seven or eight years ago; now they can genuinely lay claim to being pretty much a full-service gaming company (slots aside, of course) with product that excites, stimulates and translates into a better gaming experience for customers and operators. Solid games, often coupled with some of the best new technology you’ll find in the industry, comes together in a great show experience. For example, Gaming Floor Live is a real-time game optimization system designed to maximize key performance areas and profitability across all games. Unlike any other product on the market, the system automatically captures live table game data, which provides vital information to maximize turnover, maintain house advantage, reduce operating costs and understand opportunity costs. The gorgeous-looking Tablet Roulette is a server-based solution offering tablet and
mobile device gaming in a live environment. The system allows customers to play live tables on a touch screen tablet or mobile device throughout the gaming venue, including outside traditional gaming areas, law allowing. BaccPo is another table game innovation,
where Blackjack works alongside a simple hand ranking system similar to Baccarat – plus the adversarial elements of Poker. Unlike traditional Baccarat, BaccPo is not governed by a tableau of fixed rules, bringing a level of skill into play; it can be spread as a casino (house) game as well as a peer-to-peer table game. Hand play is also much quicker than Blackjack, which means more excitement and enjoyment for the player, and ultimately more repeat customers for the casino. Finally, Dragon 21 brings an Asian flavour to Blackjack, as a hybrid live table game with two hands, Tiger and Dragon. Players can bet on either hand at the beginning of the game (or on a tie), and each hand plays out a Blackjack hand using simple rules (hit on anything 16 or lower). The hand closest to 21 wins, and a hand may win even if it is over 21.
Konami Gaming, Inc. introduced SYNKROS,
the latest evolution of its Konami Casino Management System (KCMS). The new modular marketing and analytical tool provides more entertainment and bonusing for an enhanced player experience. Real-time data capture and reporting offers immediate opportunities to make expedient, productive marketing decisions that reward winning players, offer incentives for players who meet predetermined criteria and provide instant information to players right on the screen or on a mobile device. Working as an integrated system, SYNKROS runs on an Oracle database and uses a TCP/IP-
Suzo-Happ’s stand was dizzying, even though
it represented only a small proportion of the company’s actual offering. Front and centre was the Celebration Topper, an ingenious piece of kit which acknowledges a hand pay jackpot with a confetti launcher, 8-watt stereo sound celebration, videos on a 15.6” LCD screen and flashing LEDs. Celebration Topper interfaces directly into the game’s SAS line, and is programmable to your level of hand-pay. Celebration videos come standard, or can be customized. Another product under Suzo’s wing is Airistar
Filters, which help take care of smoke, odours, dust and air impurities, filtered out by Airistar’s unique multiple-stage purification processes. The entire line of Airistar Filters cleans the air and protects guests and employees from second-hand smoke, dust, allergens, and a host of volatile organic compounds. Certain models tuck easily away into custom cabinets that double as marketing display units. Canny casino operators can now make their
front-of-house and back-of-house areas more comfortable, efficient and cost-effective with LED lights by QTBrightek, also available from Suzo-Happ. From spotlights to light tubes, from flat ceiling light panels to high bay lamps, QTBrightek LED lights have been proven to give more light with less energy and without noise, flickering, or mercury.
