Sweden’s Casino Cosmopol Malmo
onami’s Dungeons & Dragons-themed video slots have arrived at Sweden’s
Casino Cosmopol Malmö through its distributor, ICM Casino
Management. The nation’s state- owned gaming entity Casino Cosmopol operates four casino properties, with Dungeons & Dragons Enchanted Riches and Conquests & Treasures counted among one of its most recent new game installations. ICM is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and is part of Konami’s exclusive network of distributors, partnering to address the needs of specific European markets and ensure strong, local customer support. “We are very proud to be the first of Casino Cosmopol’s four locations to install Dungeons & Dragons,” said Casino Cosmopol Malmö Gaming Manager Jonas Karlsson. “We decided upon a fairly low MAXI Jackpot and expect it to hit with a higher frequency so more customers can enjoy the fun and excitement of the D&D features.” “This three-pod unit is a beautiful
piece, placed on the floor for all our customers to spot when entering the casino. The big dragon on top of the three-pod is magnificent,” said Casino Cosmopol Malmö Casino Manager Yared Gabretensaye. “We have high expectations for this premium game from Konami and are confident that it will perform since our SeleXion multi-games from Konami are doing very well.” “We are very happy and feel humbled that Casino Cosmopol Malmö decided to install these Dungeons & Dragons-themed slot machines, the first batch of its kind to reach Europe,” said ICM CEO Wolfram Dahlström. “With its iconic merchandising options, vivid game art, and 4-level standalone progressive bonus adventure, we have strong indication that the new Dungeons & Dragons machines will follow the same success and popularity of SeleXion.”

A big year so far for DRGT C
asinos Austria International (CAI) is a long- standing customer of systems expert DRGT. The great partnership over the years ensured for CAI management that there could only be one choice for the systems requirements at the their latest casino – DRGT. The Casino International Batumi was opened in October 2015 and is located in the stylish Hilton Batumi Hotel. CAI Operations Service Manager Mr. Helmut Wede explained the company decision to ensure that DRGT systems work day-in, day-out at their new Georgian casino, stating “The positive experience gained throughout the years at other locations in Switzerland and Brussels meant that we know well the systems features that DRGT offers. The functionality, the way the systems is structured enables us to optimally manage our Slots. The decentralized system needs no central server – there is no potential single point of failure. DRGT systems are extremely reliable”. “The installation was carried out in a very professional
way – DRGT again impressed us with their excellent work ethics. The DRGT team in Graz and the installation engineer did a great job. DRGT is particularly strong in its jackpot systems
solutions and we are
making good use of these,”
continued Mr. Wede.
Elsewhere for the company, Switzerland’s Casino Neuchâtel has been enjoying DRGT’s drScreen. The Casino Neuchâtel team has been working with DRGT for three years as this casino opened its doors for the first time in December 2012.
The latest DRGT addition to Casino Neuchâtel is drScreen. Mr. Fabien Nanchen, IT and Technical Manager at Casino Neuchâtel, explains, “Since the opening we had in our mind to have a
customer card and after seeing different systems, we were impressed by the way DRGT flip the slot screen to show a ‘customer page’ or different advertisements when the slot is not played. And more, if you think of the future, and about all the customer’s services or ‘extra game’ you could have directly on the EGM screen. All these factors convinced us that drScreen would be readily accepted by our customers”. Asked about the advantages of drScreen, Mr. Nanchen continues, “For us as an operator, one of the biggest advantages is the compatibility with the rest of the DRGT system, so we can offer our customers, a complete integrated experience. For our customers – well they really appreciate that they can flip the screen to see their account, to see all the running promotions, the last handpay, the hot’n cold EGM, etc. It’s a service we can offer to our customers that the other casinos don’t have”.
