Urbain elaborated: “There are already a lot of orders confirmed, there is a forecast of installation of minimum 600 terminals for 2019 in those two countries alone.” It looks like 2019 will be a big year for E-gaming!

EGT G


lobal Gaming Expo (G2E) Las Vegas 2018, one of the biggest shows Spintec attended this year, is behind us. The


company told us their thoughts on the experience: A lot of visitors stopped at Spintec’s booth to try the new Karma GEN2 product line. For the first time in the United States, Spintec showcased its Automated Roulette and Automated Sic Bo with eight playing stations and a stand-alone playing station – and visitors were amazed by the new product line. Its sophisticated and compact design, user friendly interface and comfortable seating make for a great gaming experience that both players and operators appreciate. In addition to Karma GEN2, Spintec


presented also its Aura Automated Roulette with 10 playing stations, and Aura Multigame with virtual and live options. Even though G2E is based in Las Vegas, the meetings Spintec had were definitely not focused only on North America. Renato Bicic, Sales Director at Spintec shares: “Latin America is going crazy over our products after G2E. The majority of operators in Latin America know Spintec’s brand, our products are well received in casinos and are surpassing every competition there is on the market. Especially operators in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay are flooding us with new orders for the following months. And we are happy to oblige.”

multiple clear ways to report harassment and management must prepare for almost anything. Gilland revealed that sexual harassment


extends far beyond traditional male/female scenarios, encompassing diverse accusers and defendants. She said that cases involving women harassing women equal those of men harassing women. Hiring more women is no solution because women may harass men and men may also harass men. The time of the alleged incident can be relevant because some incidents happen at night or outside the job location. Alleged victims should have liaisons within the


company to voice their complaints. These can include the chief executive, human resources personnel, anonymous hotlines, in-house or outside counsel. The burden to investigate starts with a compassionate, thoroughly trained Human Resources department. It is a mistake to not coordinate and combine policies and procedures. Gilland urged these steps:  Make timely and prompt responses to all accusations. She said, “An immediate response could avoid litigation.”  Analyze both work and personal emails between the accuser and the accused. Sometimes people will not say things in a workplace email, but will on their own personal messages.  Develop a successful compliance program. Tip lines are only occasionally used because of bogus messages or scams.  Designate specific people who are directed to oversee complaints and subsequent actions. In an earlier seminar, gaming consultant Thomas Auriemma also recommended all companies develop a compliance plan, code of conduct, written policies to define all types of harassment and a whistleblower or ethics hotline for reporting. However, it may be tricky and he acknowledged that today’s cultural environment could motivate politicians and lawyers to overreact and make judgments without all the facts. With so many Nevadans working in the gaming


industry, regulators are now taking a statewide view. Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairwoman Becky Harris said her board is evaluating whether to create a 16-item questionnaire as part of the Nevada licensing process. Annual reporting would be required. Some attorneys and industry members call this compliance checklist punitive since companies already comply with state and federal regulations and guidelines. Just as important as prevention are post- accusation investigation methods. If both sides seem credible, career history reviews of both are recommended. Krystofiak said, “Management must not define conduct as illegal when it may in fact be legal. The term ‘harassment’ is often used freely without much thought.”
