INSIGHT ICE LONDON REVIEW
A New Era INTERBLOCK
Interblock is taking table games in a whole new era with Smart Pit and Reel Roulette. The stacking and placing of chips is
synonymous with table gaming, but as every single sector in the world moves towards cashless
Interblock was at ICE showing the advantages for live table games doing the same.
Interblock’s Smart Pit represents a fusion of traditional table games and futuristic gaming. Seamlessly integrated into live pits, it empowers dealers with more decisions per hour, boosts betting opportunities and enhances house advantage.
Te Smart Pit umbrella of technology ensures real-time player session valuations and advanced game protection, addressing industry losses due to dealer mistakes. Te integration of cutting-edge technology with live table games offers an engaging experience for players, while operators benefit from optimised staffing, increased profitability and the attraction of new demographics.
Interblock’s Senior Vice President of Innovation, Jeff Kowalchuk, said: “Smart Pit bridges the gap between classic table games and advanced gaming technology, introducing a shift in the way live table games will be played in the future. We certainly don’t think this evolution will be as quick or as complete as with the slot sector, but the interest from casino operators has been immediate. We showed SmartPit for

the first time at G2E las Vegas in October, but already Las Vegas casinos such as Planet Hollywood and TI have installed full pits. In the same way that slot machines have to cater for different player tastes, so do table games. It allows for much more engagement between the dealer and the player as we’ve seen with our stadium offering, but also allows quicker game play and more side-bets to be offered.”
At ICE, Interblock was showing its Dual Roulette optimised for Smart Pits. With increased spin frequency, streamlined operations, precise payouts, and efficiency, this innovation promises to redefine Live Pits and maximise revenue and profitability for operators. Featuring two synchronised, colour- coded roulette wheels, the system, managed by a user-friendly dealer console, achieves up to 120 spins per hour, vastly outperforming the traditional 35 spins.
Interblock’s Live Dual Baccarat, tailored with Smart Pit technology, stands at the forefront of innovation in the casino gaming world. Tis synergy is reshaping Live Pits, empowering
operators, and promising to amplify revenue and profitability to unprecedented levels. Decision-per-hour rates soar to 120, a substantial increase from the standard 50 to 60.
Unlimited player capacity eliminates the six- player limit, optimising player-to-dealer ratios and reducing labour costs. Streamlined operations, a user-friendly dealer console, and versatile gameplay options, including various side bets, ensure an exhilarating, profitable gaming experience. Tis innovation sets a new industry standard for Baccarat.
ICE also marked the European debut of Reel Roulette poised to breathe new life into the traditional table-based game. Mr. Kowalchuk explained at ICE: “We’ve taken a traditional automated roulette and added all manner of multipliers to the game. Whilst a traditional roulette game is going to have a straight up payout of 35-to-1, Reel Roulette uses a straight up of 30-to-1, which allows us to add multipliers to the game of 500-to-1 and even 1,000-to-1 on a straight up payout. We think it’s a true game-changer.”
