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 20m 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 thei 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 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, driftfree 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 recognizes location and amount of pressure applied. It’s being used by a lot of the slot companies out there on the exhibition floor.”
QUIXANT MONITORS PROGRESS ACROSS US MARKETS
Quixant has been making a significant impact with its combined range of gaming boards and monitors for US OEMs
“We’ve been offering gaming specific monitors for several years now, but what’s new for Quixant is that we’re now shipping in volume for a major manufacturer. It’s become an important part of the business,” described Quixant’s Jon Jayal at the G2E gaming show in Las Vegas. “We are offering OEMs several new packages, with bundles comprised of computer boards and gaming specific monitors with the benefits of combining the two together. We have applied the same skills and disciplines from the computer board sector to gaming monitors,” explained Mr. Jayal. “Last year we invested in a new US office and took the decision to invest in a much larger two-tier stand at the G2E show.
“Our strategy has always been to invest heavily in the design and development of our products, both in terms of hardware and software. This, together with having our own manufacturing in Taiwan, is a key factor in our success. Our product does exactly what it says on the tin and the market knows that.”

“As well as confidence in our products Quixant also has a commercial model that fits well with the needs of the market. A policy of holding stock of our product range reduces lead times and enhances our ability to react to unexpected orders, with NO minimum order quantities,” concluded Mr. Jayal of the growing range of products offered by Quixant.
