“Picture generation is the starting point for the RevTec solution,” underlines Thomas. “It is the software that is the heart of everything. We are working with


different artificial intelligence


algorithms to be able to detect and


distinguish the chips, cards, bank notes, plaques and the chip tray. This is unique.” Thomas Köbel


Revtec was founded in 2017 by an engineering firm based in Liechtenstein. Te team had a singular vision, one that had crystallised around the central idea of a dedicated optical detection system for table games within gaming environments. Seeking investment, the team formed a cooperation with Casinos Austria, the Vienna-based casino operations business, to explore the potential of a tracking solution using the latest optical hardware and artificial intelligence to deliver real-time live table game data and analytics.

Following two years of continuous development, RevTec emerged as a business that combined the engineering talents of the Liechtenstein team with investment and operational experience of the Casinos Austria Group, having become a daughter company of Casinos Austria Swiss, which is part of Casinos Austria International.


In 2019, on the hunt for a new CEO, Tomas Köbel found the prospect intriguing. He had become a specialist in instrument analysis and spectroscopic


measurements throughout a career that had yet to touch the gaming sector. A German national living and working in Austria, Tomas had moved with his family to Vienna in 2014 to further his work in the spectro-analysis sector, specialising in image analytics. “I had worked with high-speed cameras utilising spectroscopy for accurate image analysis for many years,” explains Tomas. “I had worked in this sector for different industries, but the opportunity to work in the gaming sector was a new challenge that I readily accepted.”


Since joining the business, Tomas has overseen a knowledge transfer from Liechtenstein to RevTec’s headquarter in Lucerne, Switzerland and to the R&D center in Vienna, in which the company re-evaluated all aspects of the proposition, from the mechanical components to the optics and the sensors, though to the heart of the system, the software that integrates with the multiple camera system to create both a 2D and three-dimensional simulation.
