Review CASINO TECHNOLOGY
performance and promotional activities across every platform.
On the games side, Casino Technology launched a treat for fans of South Eastern Europe folk music with an agreement with Planeta Payner, a Balkan-based music house to launch a premium branded slot series featuring the music and stars of Planeta Payner. The slot manufacturer has been delighted with the sales of its first licence, Penthouse Slots, which recently went into the Voodoo casino in Riga, owned by the Baltics biggest operator, Olympic, and has gone down a storm in Latin America.
“Obviously we realise this niche market is limited to Eastern Europe players but we’re delighted to launch four Planeta Payner slots at this show and are convinced the series will be a top-seller in many of our markets. Featuring popular songs and music videos from the best- selling Balkan music stars in 2012, we’ve already got superb feedback from the BEGE 2012 in October in Sofia, where the operators loved the concept. In terms of our domestic and surrounding markets, from Serbia to Slovenia, it has huge potential.”
A DIFFERENT PLANETA
Casino Technology delighted visitors with its convergent gaming products at ICE 2013
Casino Technology’s stand was brimming over with innovation at ICE with the SGT convergent platform smoothing the path between land-based, online and mobile gaming, the Sensa II Arch bringing a new shape to the slot floor and a deal with Planeta Payner bringing the stars of the popular Eastern European music house to the casino. Convergence is something of a buzz word in the industry at the moment, but Casino Technology have put the word into action with its convergent platform, tailored to provide functional integration among all known land, server-based, VLT, mobile and online gaming platforms. The solution is ready for launch in the regulated remote gaming markets with its three branded channels; SGT Online, SGT Mobile and SGT ServerTech.
Vice President Rossi McKee said: “SGT is a very interesting concept that we’re very excited about. Every player that registers is given a players account, from which they can play the same games from the casino pretty much wherever and however they want. Each game linked to the system can be played via the slot machine in the casino but also on tablets,

smart phones, PCs, either at the same location or from different remote locations. The number of games on SGT is constantly growing with many Casino Technology titles being adapted for online play. The platform allows easy integration of third-party content and isn’t limited to slots with live bingo, virtual betting and live roulette also available. The idea is that online can feed land-based with players and vice versa.”
The whole system is brought together by the Rhino management system so one system provides accounting, tracking,
The series currently includes Bad Girl, Vampire Romance, My Half and a themed multi-game called Sin and Temptation. Each is based on a different chart-topping song performed by Balkan popstars Andrea, Galena and Emilia, featured in the stories of the games and recreated with 3D-animation. The games were also presented in the Play Me grand piano multiplayer platform.
The sexy image is continued with the launch of the new cabinet; Sensa II Arch, developed for server-based and VLT markets. Its sleek design comes with a unique concave 40ins. vertical monitor.
“It’s very elegant and sleek,” Ms. McKee explained. “It creates a sense of rotation like with mechanical reels.” Reminiscent of a control panel from the future, the Sensa Flex is the successor to the company’s most successful slot line to date in the Sensa.
Casino Technology has also launched an intuitive player interface for its multi- game offering on Gameopolis Highway which offers 40 games of varying different styles. “We wanted players to be able to quickly and easily select what game they wanted to play so we’ve designed a navigation tool that allows them to select games by the style of their bonus features, free games, number of lines and popularity. It offers a top 10 category and differentiates between ‘time on device’ slots and ‘gambling’ games.”
