G2E REVIEW
show of the 80s – MacGyver – created a standout impression at G2E. Presented on the towering NOVOSTAR V.I.P. 3.50 and compact V.I.P. Lounge 2.32 cabinets, NOVOMATIC’s latest IP title proved a major attraction on the show floor. Appealing to a wide audience, this retro-style game joins Angus “Mac” MacGyver on a mission to unlock safes and defuse bombs for the chance to win prizes and three progressive levels. Visitors to the NOVOMATIC booth expressed great enthusiasm for the game while taking their photo with a giant roll of duct tape, paper clips and matches.
highlighting winning numbers and more. Steph Nel, General Manager Americas, said: “We are excited to introduce Blaze Craps to our range as it delivers all the excitement and entertainment of the traditional game while simplifying the betting process. Craps is always one of the games that attracts a crowd on the gaming floor but it can be confusing to novice players. By incorporating Blaze technology, the highlighted winning numbers and light sequences confirm the stages of the game, making it quick and easy for players to grasp and for dealers and security staff to monitor play.” Also of note is GFL Bonusing Rewards, which we first saw at G2E Asia and which is finding customers all over the world. It’s a jackpot reward system that utilises casino promotion budgets to fund mystery jackpots, creating an exciting ‘in it to win it’ prize pool independent of the base game. The GFL Bonusing Rewards system is very

straightforward and appealing to players and operators alike. Funded completely by the casino’s marketing budget, the awards can be configured by a percentage contribution based on the table minimum, with players enrolled in the chance to win a prize just by participating in the hand. The only operational requirement is for the dealer to register players via a dealer console which then confirms them as taking part with the player position indicated on the display. With no additional steps, game speed and player experience are not affected.
SUZOHAPP S
UZOHAPP’s booth featured three themes for its visitors: sports betting components and partnerships, OEM
casino components, and the cash handling components and solutions for the cashier cage and back office. “This year’s G2E was an excellent presentation of who we are,” said Sim Bielak, SUZOHAPP Chief Marketing Officer. “Simplify your sourcing was the message we wanted to get across, and we carefully brought together at the show our cash management strategy, comprehensive components portfolio and solution-building identity, proving we’re a viable partner in the sports betting space.” SUZOHAPP is the only global company
providing a comprehensive offering of components for casino and sports betting OEMs. This includes but is not limited to LCD monitors featuring top quality brands such as Elo Touch Solutions, Wells Gardner, Ceronix, and SUZOHAPP’s very own VisionPro, in addition to touchscreens, bill validators, printers, coin mechanisms, LCD button decks, push buttons, barcode scanners, locks, toppers, USB chargers, power supply, and more.
The new federal tax laws have created another wrinkle to making any settlement offers. Lichtenstein recommended attorneys and executives explore the tax implications. The rules regarding the deductibility of these payments from corporate taxes have changed significantly. Senior management must weigh the real costs
of settlement offers and negotiations. Gilland suggests executives determine the best settlement resolution, avoiding a knee-jerk decision that will ultimately overburden the company financially.
Furthermore, at G2E SUZOHAPP announced its new partnerships with Everi Payment Inc. and Digitote. The partnership with Everi should accelerate and advance cash management and automation within the gaming industry while partnering with Digitote helps SUZOHAPP develop customised sports wagering software applications that will provide a scalable, flexible hardware and software offering to the quickly emerging US sports betting industry and the larger international customer base.
