Once again the company was proud to exhibit at the G2E in Las Vegas to show how operators can offer their players something special, something different. A true pioneer in Multi Game, AMATIC Industries has built up a significant variety of games. It is this choice of games for players of all types that makes AMATIC Industries stand out.
The Performer C22 was on proud display on the AMATIC Industries stand. The slant top version – the Performer Grand Arc – is set to make its debut in America. Its curved design – which really hits the eye in the three-screen version – typifies the management philosophy at AMATIC Industries – to create beautiful gaming machines that are built to last.
AMATIC Industries was joined by INAG to offer a unique table game – the ‘Turbo Card Roulette’. This joint invention is patented to INAG and has passed all necessary GLI testing. It offers card- based roulette. Thus, the player knows intuitively how to enjoy this game. Operators
have distinct advantages when offering Turbo Card Roulette in comparison to conventional roulette. It requires minimal training for operators and surveillance – it is designed to allow no operator errors and no casino bleed. There is no decrease in decisions per hour as more players join the game. Furthermore, it is fully expandable as AMATIC Industries has transformed this into an electronic version providing the necessary software and hardware (including touchscreen monitors).
“The Turbo Card Roulette is ready for roll-out”, noted Thomas Engstberger, Sales Manager at AMATIC Industries, proudly. “We have received the certification from several US states and this is a very exciting period. The feedback at the G2E was outstanding and we are expecting great things for the Turbo Card Roulette. In addition to this, visitors often stated how pleased they are that we offer a wide range of multi games in our gaming machines – more than they are accustomed to. We believe we are bringing real choice, real value to the gaming market here and are dedicated to our customers”, Mr. Engstberger concluded.
