TransAct looks back on 2018 and forward to G2E
With G2E on the horizon, TransAct is pleased to present its leading printer and system solutions for casino, gaming and lottery. In preparation for the show, the company reflects on its recent accomplishments and shares a preview of the products at G2E this year.
TransAct has seen a 267 per cent growth in international casino and gaming sales for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the prior year. As a reflection of this growth, MGM Cotai opened equipped with TransAct’s Epic 950 casino printers across the entire floor, a deal which also saw the existing MGM Macau property remove and replace all the incumbent printers and replace them with Epic 950. This was a major win and comes on the back of five of the last six new openings in Cotai installed with TransAct across the floor.
“The solid growth in our international sales reflects the rapid and significant progress that we have made in Europe following our decision to transition sales across the continent from a distribution model to a direct sales model,” said TransAct’s Tracey Chernay. “With this transition, TransAct is better leveraging our world class customer service and our proven solutions portfolio to grow our business. Given our progress, we remain confident that our international shipments will show continued strength over the balance of 2018 and G2E will help us use this current momentum to continue this phenomenal growth into 2019 and beyond.”
In addition, TransAct continues to gain market share
in the North American casino and gaming sectors resulting in a 77 percent year-over-year increase in overall casino and gaming revenue. The North American net sales also increased 30 percent over the prior quarter, driven by an increased preference for the Company’s products by gaming operators.
“We expect our casino and gaming business will continue to be a strong driver of growth for the Company as we extend our industry leadership in both the North American and international markets,” said Chernay.
TransAct looks forward to sharing its products at G2E and connecting with fellow professionals in the gaming field. The company will display the Epic Edge TITO printer, which is built on the proven long- term performance of the Epic 950. The Epic Edge is the next-generation casino ticket printer that offers operators an enhanced 300 DPI print resolution, delivering a 50 percent improvement over current printers. As a result, the Epic Edge can produce eye catching tickets and razor-sharp barcodes, increasing the ticket acceptance through the bill validator and reducing attendant calls. It also includes an adjustable ticket bucket that accommodates standard tickets and smaller,

paper-saving tickets. To further help slot machine operators, the firmware’s update port has been upgraded to USB. In addition, a micro SD card slot allows quick and easy firmware updates, increasing convenience and saving time. Additional unique features include a single rugged outer chassis with Serial, USB and Netplex ports, and a faster ServerPort connection.
Alongside the Epic Edge, TransAct will showcase the Epic 950, which is the industry standard in TITO printing. One of the many highlights of the Epic 950 is its ability to support new features for legacy firmware—at no additional cost. The printer also fully supports dynamic graphics, allowing to store images in the printer’s memory for easy and convenient printing. Currently installed in over 750,000 slots throughout hundreds of casinos and gaming operations worldwide, the Epic 950 has proven itself time and time again across the world and continues to win an ever-growing following of loyal users with its robustness and reliability.
With sports betting such a hot topic in the US, TransAct is happy to demonstrate the Epic 880 which is the default printer used in established sports betting markets across the world. Known for its reliability and flexibility, the Epic 880 is used extensively across gaming sectors where the most dependable robust product is required. The gaming team will be on hand at Stand 2423 and will be happy to talk through the range of products to G2E attendees.
