News INTERNATIONAL UPDATE Alfastreet odds on favourite
Alfastreet showed its latest range of multi-players at G2E with news of a new ICE launch
The Alfastreet stand at G2E in Las Vegas acts as a refuge for visitors battered by the sales pitches on neighbouring booths. Quiet confidence in both its products and position in the industry puts the Slovenian multi-player specialist into a different league at the show. As the turmoil of market recessions and financial crises dominate conversations across the floor, Alfastreet has maintained what the company's Albert Radman describes as 'an optimal sized business.' “We have remained the same size company for over a decade, employing around 100 people, with none let go during the economic crisis," states Mr. Radman. "We are not focused on the US market right now, as we are performing exceptionally well in other international markets.

London, taking the offer in an entirely new direction.
a derby racing game. The Derby Game will be added to Alfastreet's multi-game terminals, allowing players to switch between roulette, black jack, Baccarat and horse racing where regulations allow. "Operators are looking for diversity on their casino floors right now," commented Mr. Radman. "Horse racing games fell out of favour several years ago, but our belief is that the offer was not suitably adapted for the market.

We have worked with some of our biggest clients to develop the right game for the market and as a result we already have pre-orders for the machines. Watch this space at the ICE show."
