G2E REVIEW
iteration for its 10th anniversary on the flame55, alongside some very well-known licensed product, with slots for Big Bang Theory, Billions, and the excellent Westworld slot. The Edge X cabinet had the breathtaking new
Mad Max: Fury Road slot, a beautiful looking game, and also the continuation of the incredibly successful – and really excellent – Walking Dead series, with number three making an appearance. The superb Lightning Link slot was the
inspiration for Dollar Storm, with a first-of-its kind multi-level progressive action game that combines with a $100,000 MSP jackpot; this looks sure to create similar success for the company. Aristocrat’s Oasis 360 system solutions highlighted a multitude of products focused on developing a deeper connection with operators to help them be more competitive, efficient, and innovative. Solutions include Oasis Loyalty, a multi-site single card marketing and rewards solution; ONE LINK, our floor-wide bonusing, media, and progressive management solution; Drinks On Tap, an award-winning mobile drink-ordering system; and Oasis 360 Loyalty Kiosk, with a fully integrated enterprise suite of cutting-edge bonusing, reporting, card reprinting and marketing promotions.

Universal. Interblock founder Joc Pečečnik explained to Casino International that this is “the first time ever that electronic table games are represented by a single station, with mechanical generators on top… We have dice, Sic Bo, Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat – for single players, with a mechanical generator on the top. It’s beautiful and exciting to play. Each cabinet has its own games; we have physically made a mechanical generator with cards, dice, and roulette wheel – for a single player. “With Universal cabinet we are covering the kind of location where performance perhaps has not been enough to justify a larger, multi-station machine. This will be a big segment for us.” The company’s evolution does not end there

his was, for us, all about the Universal cabinet, the third stage of the company’s evolution from its electronic table games
though, with Joc’s eyes firmly on evolving the live table game – but that will have to wait for G2E 2019. We will be bringing you further editorial on the Universal cabinet in a forthcoming issue of Casino International…

A
content for its Orion Portrait, Orion Slant, and ICON platforms, designed to delight players and drive revenue for Class II and Class III markets. The new Orion upright cabinet took centre
stage; this sophisticated new addition to the high-performing Orion family features dual 27-inch displays, a 21.5-inch LCD topper, LCD button deck, high bright accented bash buttons, a USB charger, and the Orion’s distinctive starwall design featuring 420 game-synchronized
full-colour LED lights for an innovative gameplay celebration. AGS is launching the Orion Upright with a library of exclusive new titles and AGS greatest hits. For its Orion Slant platform, launched in May
2018 and already boasting an installed base of more than 630 games, AGS showed an array of new titles, including new Xtreme Jackpots titles, plus the new Fai Cai Shu and Kingdom Ca$h families. One of AGS’s must-see table attractions was
Bonus Spin Xtreme, a progressive side bet to transform table game play. During this community or player-envy experience, players can win the chance to spin one of three virtual wheels which will generate multiple winners at the same table with each spin.
Innovative Technology I
nnovative Technology Americas reported a successful G2E with visitors expressing strong interest in their Spectral products, TITO solution and validators ideal for the popular sports betting market. Commenting on the show, Rebecca White, VP
of Sales & Business Development at the US office, said: “We were delighted with the number of visitors who visited our booth at G2E – all keen to test out our Spectral technology and
GS had a huge bopoth to accommodate more than 80 slot and table games, along with a full host of AGS Interactive
TITO emulator which attracted lots of attention. Spectral sensors are used in both our NV9 Spectral and NV200 Spectral to provide high resolution imaging. The NV200 Spectral scans 4.8 million data points whilst the NV9 Spectral scans 1.28 million data points to authenticate the validity of bills – both are the most technically advanced bill validators in their class. They both deliver outstanding fraud protection by using clever optical and mechanical anti-strimming technology and stained bill detection. Their modular design means customers can also add on recycling and ticketing capabilities.”
Everi E
veri’s slots product has leapt forward in the last year or so, and they hit G2E with a excellent array of original game themes
and licensed brand titles as well as innovative cabinets, focusing on breadth, depth, and being as flexible as possible for customers. The visual highlight was certainly the glorious Willie Nelson slot bank, though there was plenty to impress visitors. Mike Wabschall, Everi’s Director and Executive
Producer, told Casino International: “We are excited to show off our story this year, which is about our commitment to produce superior game content and hardware that creates trailblazing experiences for players. This commitment is reflected in how we’re evolving our product portfolio to engage players at higher levels and to help casino operators generate higher returns on their investments in our products.” “Our newest form factor is the Empire DCX,
an extension of our Empire base cabinet product line. Thanks to the triangular base you can make really interesting configurations and they can be tightly grouped together in small pod, or diamond configurations, so many choices. “We’re showcasing two exciting licensed
titles too, The Karate Kid and The Mask on Empire DCX.” Everi is genuinely offering something different with their slots – there is a sense of fun and freedom about the line, from the mechanical steppers right up to the dual curve Empire DCX. We can see Everi’s slot market share expanding much further based on what we saw at G2E.

CM’s product line-up has diversified beyond recognition in recent years, and with the US legalisation of sport betting,
they find themselves in a unique position as a supplier. This is in part thanks to the PixelPro range of screens, on stunning display on the booth. Tom Nieman told Casino International:
