Review G2E LAS VEGAS 2014 CENTRAL LOCKING ONTO ASIA
Having launched at ICE Totally Gaming in London, Central Gaming was in Vegas for the first time where it was closing in on a distribution deal that could see its Multi Wheel technology explode into Asia
Central Gaming’s Andrew Davies said: “We’re very close to completing a really exciting deal with a huge Asian manufacturer. Whilst we can’t quite reveal the details yet, we should be making an official announcement at the Macao Gaming Show.”
The new manufacturer was showing three games all based on the same concept; a triple wheel all spun by the dealer at the same time, made up of three concentric wheels that rotate
independently, each with 52 slots for players to bet upon. Colors Triple Wheel offers a house advantage of 6.6 per cent with bets available on the win line showing a single colour or two or three of the same colour with payouts of 55 to one for three Reds and up to 100 to 1 for three whites. Dice Triple Wheel, is a new way to play a game of dice. It combines the variation of complex card games with the appeal of roulette –style, wheel-based result delivery. A third game, Luck and Fortune has been created to incorporate a Baccarat theme with more betting opportunities without the worry of the drawing rules.
Mr Davies added: “Alongside installs into casinos in the UK, we’ve had plenty of interest already from Macau and Singapore and even

from TV Studios in the UK that offer roulette- style betting. All of our games offer a simple and easily understandable play mechanism for the customer and simplify the casino’s delivery of games.”
BUSINESS AS USUAL AS FUTURELOGIC DETAILS SLS
Recently acquired by JCM Global, FutureLogic, like many companies at the Global Gaming Expo in Vegas, was staying tight lipped about the deal
FutureLogic did, however, have a familiar message at this year’s show, having just kitted out the latest casino to open in Las Vegas; The SLS Las Vegas. Nearly 800 slots have been equipped with FutureLogic’s GEN3 Evolution advanced promotional couponing and TITO printer.
Rob Scherillo, VP of Casino Marketing at SLS Las Vegas, said: “We exhausted all options in search of the best-in-class gaming printer that mirrored SLS’ model of top tier service and luxury standards. We were particularly mindful of selecting a product that was designed with an eye for the future and it quickly became evident that the GEN3 Evolution printer was the most advanced ticket printer in gaming, making FutureLogic the clear choice. The GEN3 Evolution provides us the style capabilities of printing eye- catching and high quality coupons along with TITO tickets and offers the efficiency to increase ticket capacity with added storage. This has allowed us to reduce our operating costs while maintaining the style, luxury and service for which SLS Hotels are known.”
Nick Micalizzi, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, North America. “We have over 1.6m TITO printers installed worldwide, and that's more printers than all other manufacturers combined. We estimate that more than four
billion tickets per year are printed via FutureLogic printers across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.”
Working closely with operators, FutureLogic has also recently launched several ground-breaking solutions unleashing the cost-saving potential of TITO to casino table games and the AWP, LPM and street gaming machine markets. The Ticket2Go ticket-out solution for AWP games helps eliminate coin refills and increase machine uptime, whilst the FutureLogic TableXchange printer/scanner brings TITO to table games by enabling players to use cashout vouchers at table games.
John Edmunds, Chief Marketing Officer, said: “We’ve just installed TableXchange into Panama with a number of trials, whilst Ticket2Go is performing well in the UK. Stateside we’re making good progress with our PromoNet couponing solution that offers casino operators the answer today.”
The PromoNet solution’s unique features allow casinos to identify and reward high value players (both carded and uncarded) instantly, right at the game without any delays. The PromoNet solution also enables casinos to create, analyse, and modify highly customised promotions for optimum effectiveness and to conduct business analytics and generate reports — all of which helps casinos improve their bottom line.
Mr. Edmunds added: “At FutureLogic we strive to put customers first in all that we do. This means
