Review DRGT GAMING
JOOST VAN EGERAAT - Sales Director, DRGT.
ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS
Larger stand, more personnel, more solutions – DRGT
underlined its strengths at ICE
The DRGT stand at the ICE show in London was dominated by glowing question marks, which posed the question to visitors: “where's the server?” The DRGT answer is straightforward, there is no server as everything powered by DRGT’s systems is part of a serverless solution. This greatly simplifies the introduction of systems – reducing the cost dramatically and at the same time increasing security. As a result, DRGT is the fastest growing systems company in the casino industry and took the opportunity at ICE to underline its systems benefits to visitors. A much larger stand in a central position at the ICE show mirrored the growth in stature of DRGT within the gaming industry.
DRGT can connect all slots to their system – no matter the age or type. A full, readily understandable product and service range allows operators to choose the right modules they need and when – in the knowledge that DRGT is fully modular. No further software is required when expanding the system’s capabilities.
Within the past year, DRGT has grown from 8,000 to over 20,000 connected slots.
“It is our goal for customers to see systems in a brand
new, positive light – providing a tool that brings endless benefits with a service to match from DRGT. That is
why we highlighted our 24/7 service so much at the ICE.” JURGEN DE
MUNCK - CEO, DRGT (below).
The fact that DRGT is changing the way operators view systems is playing a major role. Now all operators can benefit from implementing DRGT systems – from the small arcade operator up to the large casino operator. The ‘dr’ prefix makes each product / service simple to recognise – for example, drAccounting, drPlayer Tracking, drJackpot, drCashless and drTicket.
drScreen was the real highlight on the stand. The video monitor of the gaming machine is made use of to portray all the account details. Players no longer need to squint at small additional screens. Manufacturers no longer need to include this small screen. A win-win for all sides. The game automatically moves to the upper screen when the player activates drScreen – thus game play can continue
even when the player is managing his or her account. This is added comfort for the player and of course increased play time. The screen and pay table return to their usual position once the player has exited drScreen. New features include tailor- made promotions to the individual player and drSpice – a way of demonstrating the volatility of the gaming machine (in three categories… right up to spicy).
The flexibility of DRGT systems was exemplified by the ability to accept multi currencies and automatically transfer the credit to the chosen preferred currency. This is particularly of interest for gaming machines on ferries between countries using different denominations and in countries where the local currency and the US dollar are both used. Players no longer need to change money into a single currency. This increases the chances of players making use of multi currencies – so can truly drive revenue.
The Casino Automatic Redemption Machine – drCarm – received its premiere at the ICE. This offers comprehensive bill and ticket conversion and furthermore acts as a bill breaker. The additional in- built security makes the drCarm a true compliment to DRGT systems in larger arcades/casinos. “These products have now had time to prove themselves. Many visitors commented on how well their DRGT systems are running. We pride ourselves on our secure, serverless systems that offer a whole range of marketing / advertising / promotional capabilities,” stated DRGT CEO, Jurgen De Munck at the ICE show.
