G2E 2014
ASSOCIATION OF GAMING EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS (AGEM)
www.AGEM.org The 143 member companies of the
international, non-profit Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers’ (AGEM) operate in 21 countries. AGEM represents manufacturers and suppliers of electronic gaming devices, systems, table games, key components and also supports products and services for the gaming industry. Executive Director Marcus Prater cited 12
AGEM successes in 2014. These include: • Last June, AGEM testified before the
Nevada Committee to Conduct an Interim Study Concerning The Impact of Technology Upon Gaming. They advocated
a potential new law allowing slot machines with variable payback percentages. Created by Governor Brian Sandoval, the Committee offered its endorsement for the Nevada Legislature’s passage when it reconvenes in January 2015. The law would introduce skill-based gaming, bringing arcade-style elements that attract younger players and rejuvenate the slot floor. • Formed this month, a new AGEM Mexico Committee will focus on issues impacting the Mexican market that affect various gaming suppliers. It will increase suppliers’ influence as a new federal gaming bill approaches. • AGEM donated $50,000 to The Problem Gambling Center in Las Vegas and renewed its Platinum membership in the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling. • AGEM focused on education, partnering with the American Indian College Fund to create the AGEM Scholarship for deserving
tribal students. It also renewed its AGEM Scholarship through the UNLV International Business School. • In North America, AGEM has
communicated with Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada regulators to upgrade lab and game approval processes. • Internationally, AGEM retained counsel in Austria to battle the government’s unachievable new slot machine technology recommendations; AGEM’s new legal team in Chile will fight proposed regulatory changes that eliminate the “malfunction voids all pays and plays” disclaimer on all global slot machines. • Members continued their efforts with global trade show events, conferences and social activities. • Members promoted responsible gaming and formally adopted the Responsible Gaming Code.
will all come together at G2E 2014. We are confident that our portfolio positions customers to take their success to the next level across multiple channels, and we can’t wait to show it off at G2E,” said Aristocrat’s Chief Product Officer, Rich Schneider. They are bold words – but the company’s product on show at G2E would appear to back them up. Aristocrat’s widely-used Oasis 360 CMS
product is apparently North America’s most widely used casino system, and G2E saw its power and reach extended with the new Oasis HALO suite, surely now the industry’s most advanced loyalty-building software, plus the new Oasis ONELINK technology enhances Aristocrat’s system bonusing and will take media management to the next level. These products are available to every casino across North America, both Oasis 360 customers and those who use other systems. In addition to new systems technologies,
Aristocrat presented nearly 200 new games, along with several new cabinets. Aristocrat’s licensed titles and core game segments – E*SERIES, J* SERIES, and C* SERIES –present a diversified games portfolio that is stronger than ever and will deliver excitement and performance across a diverse player base.
At G2E the company premiered new titles including Ted and Superman The Movie, which pave the future roadmap for the new Wonder Wheels product line. The revered Buffalo franchise also expanded with a highly anticipated new Buffalo title. The company’s message at G2E was all about
taking your business to the Next Level – and it seems they mean business. Look out for more

DLV DLV enjoyed a truly international event,
reporting afterward ‘tangible positive results’ from partners in Uruguay, Panama, Surinam, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ireland, plus new contacts from the USA, Europe and Latin America have given the company optimism about future orders. All products brought by DLV to G2E – among which were the cabinets HD, STD and DWS, jackpots, as well as the most recent multigame sets for standalone machines (Diamond Games Premium VIII and IX) – found their customers, but still, as the company
expected, the most appealing to visitors were the HD cabinet and Diamond Ultra multigame. DLV are also exhibiting at the exhibition
SAGSE Buenos Aires hope to see everyone at DLV booth 311!
