Dragon Egg lights the way in US for resounding success of Clover Link at G2E for APEX gaming
Never before has APEX Gaming displayed such a comprehensive range of gaming solutions at a G2E show in Vegas. At this year’s event, operators were introduced to innovative jackpot solutions, individual slots from the Pinnacle family, the EVO gaming platform, electronic roulette, iDROP Tito Table solutions for live gaming, live gaming tables, card shufflers, accessories and more...
APEX’s jackpot islands are already a well-known brand in the US, with the initial Dragon Egg and Leonardo’s Code games bringing real alternatives to casinos. Te latest solution, Clover Link, was met at G2E 2018 with even greater enthusiasm. Clover Link offers a total of four different games each with additional clover features.

Clover Link can be managed both for internal casino connections as well as across a wide-area networks, a flexible option that has been well received by operators who can use the many different island and wall-mount configurations to their best advantage.
Te success story of APEX’s iDROP continues with the latest additional to the family – the iDROPs, which was the focus for many visitors to the stand. It can manage 250 bills (and tickets) at one time at a validation rate of up to six per second, making it ideal for players depositing a large number of bills at the table. It also provides the casino with the option to use the iDROPs to exchange large volumes of bills for a single Tito ticket, maintaining the continuity of the game by eliminating large buy ins and increasing hands per hour.
Te electronic roulette solution from APEX gaming is also enjoying success in the US. Te APS – APEX PLAYER STATION – is not only
available as a terminal-based solution , it offers four additional table games (Baccarat, Sic-Bo, Black Jack, Bingo) as well as APEX Slot Games. Another great advantage: it can be linked to up to four separate roulette wheels – both electronic and/or live.
Te entire live gaming range was also on display – including live gaming tables and a series of innovations, including the Ball and Dice Tester and the Roulette Wheel Leveller with a leveling base. Card shuffling plays a key role in casinos and here the Shuffle King 6 again made a strong impact as it can automatically shuffle up to six different decks of cards. Te Shuffle King 2, which is the single deck option, was recently released to the North American market with its debut at the new Four Winds Property in South Bend Indiana with great success.
APEX’s focus was not just on products at G2E, but also on support. Apogee Gaming is the distributor for APEX gaming in North America. Under the leadership of JL Drapeau, APEX provides professional service, being completely dedicated to its customers. Kubilay Özer, Global Sales Director at APEX gaming, commented: “We are used to being rushed off our feet at the ICE. Now we can say the same of the G2E show in Las Vegas. Our expectations were significantly exceeded. We are proving ourselves in the American gaming market by bringing innovations in many areas that are technically proven, a pleasure for the players and simple to operate. We take service very seriously and I’d like to thank JL and his team for their extra-special focus. I’d like to conclude by thanking everyone who came to see us. We are proud that you took the time.
