Review G2E VEGAS 2015
Stunning statistics make up only half the story with ELO as the touchscreen specialist threw a curve into G2E’s mix
Every 57 seconds, ELO Touch Systems manufactures sells and installs one of its touch screen products. With statistics like that it’s no surprise to hear that ELO has secured over 20 million touch screen installs in more than 80 countries. Not surprising either then that the casino industry has commanded a healthy slice of those sales figures.
The Elo IntelliTouch Curve touchscreen solution was launched at last year’s G2E with incredible results. Delivering full HD resolution and clear glass optical clarity using professional-grade components built for continuous use in public environments, the Elo curved touchscreen solution features SAW technology or to give it its full name, patented IntelliTouch and IntelliTouch Zero-Bezel surface acoustic wave (SAW) touch technology.
Jason Krause, Product Manager said: “Our aim is to help gaming manufacturers avoid integration problems, enable touch on borders, create unique shapes and curves, and incorporate company or brand logos into their slot machine or gaming terminal. IntelliTouch Pro projected capacitive technology (PCAP) allows for horizontal counter, furniture and tabletop integration for electronic roulette. Elo surface capacitive (SCAP) touchscreens

ELO CAME, SAW AND CONQUERED
lower maintenance costs of gaming machines already deployed by plugging directly into third party touch controllers. One of our most recent breakthroughs has been in the development of chip flipping and dragging.”
Mike Sigona, Regional Sales Manager added: “The pure-glass construction and SAW touch technology delivers superior image clarity, resolution and light transmission ideal for HD and 4K graphics. There are no coatings, plastic films or moving parts to scratch, wear out, or be damaged. The touchscreen
will continue to work even if it gets scratched. It has been tested to handle 50 million touches in one location without failure. It’s available with transactional single-touch or interactive dual-touch capabilities in 32-inch and 42-inch sizes. The stable, drift-free operation of SAW touchscreen technology provides an accurate touch response measured on three axes using a finger, gloved hand, or passive stylus. ELO’s sensitive touch response recognises location and amount of pressure applied. It’s being used by a lot of the slot companies out there on the exhibition floor.”

Ortiz Gaming separated its story into two parts at the G2E in Vegas, with one stand for land-based and another for online
Year after year, Ortiz Gaming makes the journey to the Global Gaming Expo held in Las Vegas and each year Ortiz Gaming stands out amongst the suppliers, whether it be for its beautiful stand, amazing product launch events, or the Spain-based company’s complete re-imagining of the video bingo product. This year Ortiz Gaming stepped into the spotlight yet again, unveiling two booths with three times as many products for a global market. In an industry which has been riddled with uncertainty, downsizing, and company identity crises, Ortiz Gaming’s presence made the statement that they are a growing worldwide presence and a company to be reckoned with.
Ortiz Gaming, one of the leading providers of video bingo gaming products worldwide, unveiled a slew of new games, cabinets, systems and platforms. With two very different yet true to brand booths, Ortiz Gaming’s mega booth, which hosted land-based products in one, while the Ortiz Interactive booth displayed a wide range of offerings from the interactive division.
