The quality and game variety of APEX Gaming solutions are being enthusiastically received by German operators. APEX Gaming has introduced a series of innovations to the German AWP sector that have made a real impact on the market.
Cammegh has been granted a Washington State Gaming license, adding to an ever- expanding list that currently includes Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. Renowned for delivering high quality roulette and display technology, Cammegh is now bringing its increasing product range to an even wider US audience.
Cammegh has successfully secured the license from the Washington State Gaming Commission approving the company’s Mercury 360, Eyeball Display Camera and Billboard displays. Eager to begin, Cammegh has already received its first Washington order, for an installation of roulette wheels and Billboards at Snoqualmie Casino. In 2011, the Nevada Gaming
Control Board awarded Cammegh a manufacturer and distributor license for its world-renowned roulette wheels, which has now been extended to include the EyeBall, Billboard and PitBoss wheel analysis system.
Commenting on this latest licence win, Andrew Cammegh stated: “We’ve been thrilled by the reception of our products in the US market. Having received our Nevada license last year we have already secured prestigious orders from MGM Grand and The Venetian. We are looking to build on this success and bring new table game products to this important sector, including the EyeCard, EyeCard Plus and Speedy Payout.”
APEX Germany is breaking the lease-only model in the German AWP market by offering its solutions for sale, lease or rent. Thus, operators again are firmly in the driving seat and can choose which model best suits them. Furthermore, APEX Germany is providing an essential service by supporting operators with vital information on the forthcoming legal changes to the Interstate Gambling Treaty, Gaming Ordinance, State Arcade Laws and Industrial Code.
To this effect, APEX Germany won the support of the distributor association DAGV. The DAGV presented the latest legal update to both APEX Germany’s German headquarters in Bavaria and at the partner company ASR Automatenvertrieb in Baden- Württemberg.
APEX Germany Managing Director, Gerhard Hubmann, explained: “We see it as our duty to provide our customers with a special information service. We work in close partnership with our clients. Thus, we were very pleased to have gained the support of industry experts and the DAGV so that operators in both Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg could receive first hand updates of this extremely important topic. We also thank our partner in Baden-Württemberg, ASR Automatenvertrieb – for their continued support as well.”
