APEX Germany’s first gaming machine has been certified by the PTB for the German AWP market – namely the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is equipped with the 20 best games from APEX in the Magic Classic games package. This certification now means that APEX Germany has officially entered the German AWP market.
The Pinnacle cabinet is the very latest upright gaming machine that APEX offers. The dual 22“ monitors stand out in a stylish and very well manufactured gaming machine. Udo Nickel, Sales Manager for APEX Germany, enthuses: “This is a great step for both APEX Germany and the German AWP market. We are bringing quality, casino-like choice to the market. We have proven our player appeal and technological drive again and again internationally and now it’s our turn here in Germany. We are offering the market something it really is looking for – quality, casino-like gaming machines with proven games that can be purchased, rented or let – with the focus on the purchase option.
“The Pinnacle can therefore be purchased including all the games. Our games package Magic Classic has proven to be really popular amongst players all around Europe and South America. The fact that German players have been going to the Czech Republic specifically to play on APEX games gives us the confidence to predict that our games will be popular up and down the country. Furthermore, we include the revolutionary UBA RC banknote recycler as standard in the Pinnacle,” stated Mr. Nickel.
APEX gaming has amassed several years of success in a whole host of countries in Europe and South America. The dual core focus on both great games packaged in extremely attractive cabinets

alongside the technology inside has seen APEX gaming grow to become an important manufacturer of gaming machines within the industry.
The two mottos of APEX Germany symbolise the focus on these two core areas. “The next level” refers to how APEX is taking gaming machine technology to a higher technological level. “See the difference” refers to the winning games and attractive cabinets.
APEX gaming supplies several market sectors within the gaming industry, including casinos, VLTs and AWPs. This experience has flowed into the games packages. Mr. Nickel continues, “We aim to play with the best in this market. Therefore, we have been working hard in the background over the last months putting the necessary structure in place. We have set up the head office in Forstinning near to Munich. Our first Hausmesse (in-house exhibition) will take place 17th November here. And lastly and very importantly – we have set up a distributor network up and down Germany so that each and every customer will have a contact close by. Naturally all the distributors will be fully trained in order to guarantee this local support”.
Johannes Weissengruber, CEO and founder of the APEX gaming Group of Companies, states, “Customers will see that we are bringing something completely new to the market. That is our formula for success. The games play a major role of course and we are confident that operators will be very pleased to see the sheer level of technology within the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is a very popular gaming machine that we believe is an ideal product for here in Germany. We are very pleased to be a part of the German AWP market and have invested strongly in new personnel, subsidiaries and the corresponding networks to send out the signal that we intend to support the German AWP market on a long-term basis.”
Aristocrat Technologies has announced another gaming option for European players with the release of the innovative Hyperloop category. Hyperloop is the latest standalone gaming innovation released into Europe this year and is supported by two new VIRIDIAN WS (widescreen) Bonus Bet games, All Puffed Up! and Halloween: Trick or Treat.
The new release builds on the success of early Aristocrat widescreen platform releases like Mega Pay, Multi Mega Pay, REMIX and Win Your Way. Hyperloop seamlessly integrates a mechanical top box with superb on-screen animation to deliver all-round gaming gratification. Upon triggering the game feature, players watch in wonder as balls spin around the Hyperloop, dropping extra multipliers or wilds onto the video reels below.
All Puffed Up! brings to life colourful creatures of the ocean depths, notably an Angler Fish scatter – three of which appearing concurrently trigger the feature – and a stretched wild Puffer Fish, which emerge from popped orange bubbles (dropped from the Hyperloop) to populate reels during free games. This 30 line game has a unique 4x2x3x4x3 reel set shaped in the outline of a fish.
Halloween: Trick or Treat is an interactive Reel Power game in which three scattered frame symbols trigger the feature, daring players to select between Trick or Treat. Choosing ‘Trick’ initiates three free games with the Hyperloop awarding one, two or three wild reels for that game. Opting for ‘Treat’ brings up an interactive match-a-prize screen with the Hyperloop awarding a prize multiplier.
Both new games incorporate a minimum bet of 40 credits, including 10 credit ante bet, their diverse theming and game structure offering scope for side-by-side varied entertainment.
