terms of what’s important and which games we should focus upon.”
RevTec’s biggest advantages is that the company is already embedded within the Casinos Austria group, benefiting from the scope and scale of the operations business. At this time, the company is working in cooperation with three partner. One partner handles the visualisation part of the data analysis, another is a famous Austrian institute that’s helping with AI and modelling. Te third partner, again an Austria company, is able to provide development and production functionality on demand. “We are currently full- time working upon the test pilot with a European casino group that has Latin American operations,” describes Tomas. “Tis not only involves installation of hardware and software, but staff training too. We look forward to going live and making further announcements in the near future.”
“I think this is a
realistic goal for us. Today, we are
focusing on blackjack and punto banco, but in the future we plan
to offer a roulette and poker solution too. We have already
started working upon adding roulette,
we’ve conducted all of these tests do we go live.”
Te big question, as with all recognition systems, is what level of accuracy is RevTec able to guarantee? “If we talk about the detection of chips, cards, plaques, bank notes and chip stacks, the overall percentage is around 98 per cent,” states Tomas. “We recognise that systems shown at ICE and G2E, for example, make claims of 99 per cent and higher, but those solutions are either detecting a single chip, or a completely straight stack, in perfect lighting conditions. Some even say they’ll work with the existing casino surveillance system,
but we’ve learned from experience that this is just not possible.”
Data for data’s sake has been a bugbear of the industry for many years. Te value of data is very different from the volume that’s capable of being generated. Te benefit of a system like RevTec’s is that the visualisation of the data is operator configurable and can be set to show different levels of data to specific users, from casino managers, to floor and surveillance managers. “I see a potential to connect over 100,000 tables,” says Tomas of the potential of Table Eye. “I think this is a realistic goal for us. Today, we are focusing on
blackjack and punto banco, but in the future we plan to offer a roulette and poker solution too. We have already started working upon adding roulette, realising that the game is too short for player tracking at the table, but looking instead at controlling the payout. With so many stacks on the table, we can ensure that the procedures are followed correctly, feeding back in real-time.
“We are also aware that different markets have different priorities. When you have five to 10 tables in a typical European casino, as opposed to 500 in somewhere like Macau, the perspective changes in
