Inspired Gaming Group (Inspired), supplier of server-based technology in new and emerging markets, is excited to launch two products to the Asian market at G2E Asia, on booth 1333.
Inspired will be showcasing its next-generation Electronic Roulette product Multi-Win Roulette 4.0 on the sleek new Sabre slant top cabinet. GLI compliant, it is a radical new product that has industry assurance and is scalable to suit any venue. A key feature is the ability to connect the terminals to live or auto roulette wheels, and it is unique in allowing players to bet on up to 4 wheels simultaneously. It is the only electronic roulette product to have a second “Player Portal” touch screen (for game analysis and venue marketing messages) and a primary 26 inch HD widescreen with “Real Touch” haptic technology, to recreate the physical sensation of playing with real chips.
Exclusively at G2E Asia, Inspired will also be previewing new Live E-Baccarat content for the Sabre terminal,
commented: “Asia – and Macau particularly – is going from strength to strength. We’re confident that now is the right time to launch a new electronic
table gaming product to operators in the region, who should be looking for cutting edge products to maintain and grow their incomes. I’m personally very excited about the show, and the region as a whole, and I think Sabre is a highly complimentary product for many of the exciting venues in Macau and beyond.”
making the product multi-content and giving operators ultimate product and content flexibility. As with Multi-Win Roulette, Live E-Baccarat can be connected to live tables within the casino or tables in remote locations. The Panoramic Play layout of the widescreen terminal, guarantees that the player experiences the most enjoyable electronic gaming available – all in HD clarity.

Newly approved and soon to launch in China, Inspired’s Virtual Sports are coming to G2E Asia for the first time and are available in both High Definition and 3D. It is multi-platform (In-venue, Online, Mobile, TV and Terminal) and the multi-language commentary technology generates simultaneous commentary and event audio in 16 different languages. Virtual Sports, including football, horse racing, cycling and tennis, will also be broadcast throughout the show on the Inspired booth 1333 via the Virtual Betting Channel, a new partnership between Inspired and SIS.
As well as 3D Virtual Sports, visitors to Inspired’s booth can also view at high impact slots and roulette in 3D.
casinos among the 12 casinos presently acting as beta-test sites. WMS expects to expand into additional casinos in GLI-served jurisdictions following secondary approvals by individual gaming jurisdictions. WMS also continues to make progress towards regulatory approval for WAGE-NET and the Jackpot Explosion application in other gaming jurisdictions and recently began a field trial in Nevada at a popular Las Vegas casino.
“GLI approval for the commercial version of the core WAGE-NET system, the UHP Portal application family and the first theme in the UHP family, Jackpot Explosion, represents a major milestone in our plan to further our Casino Evolved vision, which offers a premium value proposition to the marketplace,” said Orrin J. Edidin, President of WMS. “Our initial beta
placements have clearly demonstrated the incremental value of a Portal application interoperating with a base game, with coin-in premiums averaging 35-to-40 per cent across more than 270 Bluebird2, Bluebird xD and upgraded Bluebird gaming machines at 12 casinos.”
Mr. Edidin continued, “WMS is firmly committed to leading the industry’s adoption of networked gaming solutions and the approval of our commercial version of the WAGE-NET system allows us to further support our customers’ deployment of networked services throughout their enterprise and to help them generate higher value from their gaming technology investments. WMS’ Casino Evolved vision for Networked Gaming – including UHP and the other upcoming Portal families, combined with Player’s Life Web Services, Freedomport Player User Interface windowing platform, GamEdge Patron Services, and Remote Configuration and Download applications – provides a robust product set to casinos and we are excited to begin to bring the benefits of that future to customers today.”
The UHP application adds a secondary mystery progressive bonus experience to the base game, displays imminent jackpots across the slot floor – on the base game screen, the gaming cabinet’s top screen and on strategically located signage – and helps to celebrate the big win using stronger visuals and increased ambient sound. The Jackpot Explosion game’s volcanic theme shows rising lava levels as coin-in increases and the trigger to the progressive jackpot is approached. With its random rewards and innovative ability to broadcast how close the progressive is to being won, UHP enables unprecedented levels of player excitement.
