Quixant used ICE 2016 to launch two important new gaming platforms based on the latest AMD Embedded R-Series “Merlin Falcon” APU, with the company describing the performance of the range as the next-gen of gaming performance

Pariplay was at ICE launching the real-money online slot, Black Widow, the first of an array of games to be based on iconic Atari Interactive arcade games from the 1980s
Te original Atari video arcade game, Black Widow, was released in 1982 and involved players manoeuvring the eponymous spider around its web while shooting various insects to win bonuses. Instead of winning bonus points and shooting beetles, mosquitoes and hornets, Pariplay’s 5-reel, 3-line Black Widow slot allows players to win real money by taking a simple spin in a sophisticated online casino setting.
Black Widow is an HTML5 game and so play is optimised for tablets and smart phones as well as desktop, with game control panels specific to each device.
Steve Lurie, Director of Business Development, said: “Te deal with Atari, which was signed two years ago, will soon see the roll out of games based on 1980s-style arcade slots later this quarter with Asteroids, Pong, and Tempest set to be optimised for all devices. Black Widow was designed by our in-house game studio, who have created over 100 online slots, instantwin games, scratch cards, bingo and keno games.”
With a return-to-player value of 94.8 per cent, Black Widow offers players an opportunity for financial reward as well as fun. Black Widow joins brands such as Te Tree Stooges and Sharknado and X-O Manowar, the first slot based on its partnership with leading comic book company Valiant Entertainment, and set to launch before the end of Q1 2016.
Te Isle of Man-based company was showing its full suite of games developed in-house for gaming companies such as recent partner SBOBET. Te games developer was also informing operators and land-based casinos about the imminent launch of version 2.0 of its SMTM platform, which PariPlay is confident will ‘beat any gaming platform on the market when it comes to its range of features, versatility, scalability and user experience.’

QMax-1 is the first in a new “ultimate performance” tier of product in Quixant’s line- up and is the company’s flagship casino product. It offers consumer levels of graphics performance never seen before in an embedded PC environment, double that of Quixant’s previous highest performance platform, the QX- 50. As well as being the highest performance gaming platform on the market today, it also incorporates Quixant’s proven gaming logic to ensure rapid integration, total reliability and security in your gaming machine design.
Te QXi-6000 is the latest “all-in-one” compact gaming platform from Quixant which also utilises the AMD Embedded R-Series “Merlin Falcon” APU to deliver breath-taking graphics performance. By utilising its proprietary thermal management technology, Quixant are able to deliver this in a passively cooled package, eliminating the need for fans.
Both products include support for Quixant’s innovative new Q-Port monitor interface technology. Based on DisplayPort, Q-Port enables touch and other USB2.0 data to be passed down a single monitor cable, simplifying cabinet wiring.
General Manager, Jon Jayal, explained that Paysafe proves its a
safe bet at ICE 2016 ICE 2016 was something of a coming out party for Paysafe Group following a series of acquisitions last year and a rebrand that has seen the company merge its proprietary brands Optimal Payments and Neteller under the Paysafe brand along with its acquired asset of Skrill, which was purchased last August for a reported €1.1bn buyout.
Prepaid card Paysafecard and mobile payments solutions provider FANS have also been merged into the Paysafe Group brand. Paysafe’s Head of B2B Marketing Claudia Schugerl said: “It’s fair to say that we now do
everything in payment methods, covering every aspect of the service. Paysafe is now relevant at the point of every payment.”
Quixant’s new monitor range forms a complete package that work seamlessly with its latest gaming boards, enabling tier one and tier two customers to operate a complete Quixant solution. “Te monitor range is backed by an experienced and dedicated team to deliver to customers in a focused manner,” emphasised Mr. Jayal. “We have developed the technology to delver an end-to-end solution, with a resource of engineers able to focus on development for specific customers needs - helping and advising customers on specific areas of technology.”
Investing in its business to provide the very best resource for its customers, Quixant recently opened a new 7,000sqft software development, training and customer support centre in Rome. “Hardware is only half the solution”, stated John Malin, Sales Director of Quixant. “If you want to offer a complete gaming platform to this market then you need to invest heavily in your software.
“Quixant has spent the last 10+ years building its software ecosystem which enables our customers to design and launch their machines in record time. Quixant can provide drivers for many peripheral devices and gaming protocols used in the market today, all of which are developed in house, rather than by a third party which can be very problematic.”
