AGS

Drive excitement, player engagement, and incremental revenue with AGS’ Bonus Spin Xtreme innovative and award-winning new progressive side bet system.

With its groundbreaking proprietary technology, Bonus Spin Xtreme enables casino operators to link all table games on the casino floor to the same jackpot pool, requiring only one seed amount and providing faster-incrementing and larger jackpot awards.

Bonus Spin Xtreme is also the perfect solution for community-style table games. Its unique wheel design allows for one unique progressive jackpot winner on community games such as roulette, baccarat, craps, sic bo, and poker cash games.

Three jackpot levels, including AGS’ popular must-hit-by progressive, accelerate player engagement. Anticipation builds as the jackpot gets closer to hitting!

When the wheels spin, every participating player wins a prize, creating excitement among everyone at the game. Here’s how Bonus Spin Xtreme works: Each table game features a unique communitybased triggering event, which initiates the spin of three eye-catching concentric wheels. The inner wheel displays the community prize, which every participating player wins.

The middle wheel selects the hot spot player position. If the Hot Spot player makes the wager, their bet sensor lights up and blinks, activating the outer wheel spin. The outer wheel selects the Hot Spot prize, which includes the progressive awards.

Bonus Spin Xtreme, a cutting-edge product available only from AGS, drives big-win excitement and community thrills in your table pit.

Setting players HomeWork

BETCONSTRUCT

To broaden player appeal and expand operators’ reach, BetConstruct has launched a new promo campaign for Sportsbook called HomeWork.

HomeWork is an excellent fit for forward-thinking partners who seek to provide extraordinary sportsbook experiences alongside traditional well-loved betting.

Protecting Web applications

CONTINENT 8

Web applications and API’s are the backbone of every Internet connected device we use today. Specifically, a web application is any program that interfaces with a customer through a web browser. An application Programming Interface (API) is a tool that allows two or more applications to communicate and exchange data. Continent 8 have reimagined the way that Web App and API security is approached by building a fully featured cloud Web App and API Protection (WAAP) platform directly in-line with customer data flow. This enables us to bring all the features and functions usually only found in costly localised set-ups to the cloud. Other cloud WAAP deployments have Content Distribution (CDN) in their DNA, but C8 leverages security veteran Fortinet’s 20+ year expertise to transform the way cloud WAAP is delivered. WAAP is achieved using a combination of Web Application Firewall (WAF), Robot (BOT) and API protection mechanisms.

Protection from the OWASP (world standard in web security risks) Top 10 is one of the fundamental features of any WAAP and is what is required to comply with payment security (PCI-DSS) requirements. The OWASP Foundation has tens of thousands of members worldwide working to improve application security. The OWASP Top 10 represents a broad consensus of the ten most important security considerations for web applications. There are more security risks than just the Top 10 and Continent 8 WAAP protects over and beyond this including the API Top 10. By considering the Top 10 when developing code, developers are actively protecting businesses from application attacks and the resulting revenue or data loss caused by downtime or a compromised system which can severely damage any business.

According to Verizon’s 2019 ‘Data Breach Investigations Report’, Web Applications are now the number one target for attacks, but in their document ‘API Security: What You Need to Do to Protect Your APIs’ Gartner believes that API targeted attacks will knock Web App attacks off the top spot by 2022. There has never been a more apt time to deploy Web Application & API Protection mechanisms – Such as Continent 8 Cloud WAF.

AI technology to boost ROI

DALLMEIER

Dallmeier offers a Casino Operating System (COS) called HEMISPHERE SeMSy, a software platform which helps casinos to easily control and optimise their core areas: gaming, surveillance, and marketing.

Dallmeier focuses on its core strength, has specialized functions optimized in a sophisticated system and at the same time plug in to the overarching CMS. Operators can integrate various production systems, such as the dealing shoe or POS, into Dallmeier’s system and achieve full interoperability. By doing so, they can combine and correlate information from different systems. Together with a comprehensive integration of CCTV, the key benefit is that casinos receive image and video material for all data to understand processes and make smarter business decisions.

For example, table protection: Dallmeier´s Casino Automation Technology (CAT) uses AI-based video analysis to detect if someone is tampering with the table. At the same time CAT provides the operator with a recording of the relevant video sequence so that he can instantly verify the incident. This is just one example of how Dallmeier’s system manages to digitalize analogue processes, make them comprehensible for those involved and derive meaningful actions.

Dallmeier constantly works to improve its software and integrate new features that the market demands. Its Casino Automation Technology is available for Blackjack and Baccarat. SicBo to follow soon. With this solution, the games can be processed much more efficiently, and the increased game pace enables a significantly higher turnover per hour. CAT also enables highly accurate, AI-based player rating, which prevents cheating in loyalty programmes. The tracking of all game-relevant actions also reveals suspicious winning patterns, for example. Thanks to decades of experience in the casino industry, Dallmeier is very optimistic that its innovative solutions will continue to offer the customers decisive added value, enabling them to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. True to the Dallmeier company motto: “Making things easier.“

Expediting the move to cashless

DRGT

It’s been just over a year, almost to the month, and the current global situation remains, in my view, quite surreal, says DRGT CEO Jurgen de Munck. Just over 12 months ago, most of the gambling world was in the UK attending the planet’s biggest gaming exhibition, ICE London. At that event many of us were speculating to what extent what was happening in China and how it was going to impact the rest of the world, and within a month we all found out.

Notwithstanding the health-related consequences, the effect this pandemic has had on the global economy, and specifically our entertainment sector, is almost unquantifiable, so I am not even going to try.

What I can do though is reflect on our company, and the fact that we were, and we remain, in the fortunate position of being almost debt-free, and as such able to, as best possible, ‘weather the storm’. Notwithstanding this I firmly believe that (as per Benjamin Franklin)

“Out of adversity comes opportunity”. Now whilst in the short-term this thought may be difficult to digest, I really believe that in time it will ring true.

I referenced ‘in time’ specifically, as it is time that allows us, and teaches us, to adapt, and once we have, we prosper again; in relation to DRGT that ‘opportunity’ has been the fuelling of the cashless gaming debate, a technology solution we have advocated since inception; and one that forms the very backbone of our existence. Operators have always seen the value therein, both for themselves and their players, with the barrier at times being financial, and at other times operational or regulatory. What the pandemic has taught everyone is that change can be affected, across all spheres of life whether they be at home and at work, a lot quicker than we all thought, and if an expedited move to cashless, in the gaming sector, is the change – then bring it on!

Hop aboard the Keno Express

DIGITAIN

At Digitain, we are in constant discussion with our network of over 100 partners. As a result of these discussions, we have begun to develop more of our own products, under our Fast Games studio brand, in order to further support our partners in various markets globally and to hopefully attract some new operators.

Our latest initiative to recently launch is a new take on a classic game– Keno Express.

Keno Express is a fast-paced, exciting lottostyle numbers game that offers customers a dynamic, engaging experience with a new game drawn and resolved every minute.

A wide range of opportunities are available to bet on, providing a great experience to entertain a wide range of players. Customers can bet small but win big by selecting the winning number from 100 balls in each Keno Express game. Alternatively, they can opt to be more cautious and bet on over / under a particular number of their choice, or even bet on a particular range of numbers. Players can even bet on multiple selections in any game. This game definitely offers something for everybody.

Keno Express can be configured to meet our partners’ requirements regarding minimum and maximum stakes as well as jackpot limits – and it has a flexible bonus engine, so operators can promote the product effectively and with confidence.

Keno Express is available across all web and mobile channels too and is a great addition to our Fast Games portfolio offering our partner network an excellent new product to both attract and engage new and existing players. Look out for more exciting products from our Fast games studio team in the near future.

Interblock debuts at Kangwon Land

INTERBLOCK

Interblock has been working hard throughout 2020 with continuous product improvements and market developments under the global pandemic restrictions. Covid-19 has significantly affected the industry, however, one of our highlights is notably the successful bidding to supply a 64-seat ETG stadium to Kangwon Land Casino, South Korea. The only casino that allows locals to gamble.

The ETG stadium consists of 64 G5 Diamond Play Stations with Live Baccarat, Live Blackjack (MHBJ), large LED display panels with multigame, multi-denomination, multi-lingual support, including Korean and Japanese, game performance reporting functions and the ability to enhance player’s experience via a user-friendly roll-back functionality.

“Interblock’s ETG is a system that has accumulated abundant experience and know-how, and is expected to provide better convenience and interesting games to customers by providing excellent stable servers and various attractive functionalities,” noted the person in charge of the project at Kangwon Land.

With a wealth of local experience and expertise from our long-trusted partner at Korea Gaming Solution Co., Ltd (KGS), project implementation was on time to Kangwon Land’s specifications, with installation completed in December 2020.

Interblock’s President for Asia Pacific, Michael Hu commented: “We are thrilled to showcase our live table products at the flagship casino of the Korean casino industry. We wish Kangwon Land Casino and our partner great success beyond 2021.”

Saddling up for new adventures

HABANERO

While 2020 may have had its challenges, the gaming industry has proven itself resilient and come out on top. With lockdown restrictions remaining stubbornly in place, digital entertainment has been in high demand over the last few months – and we know the future of gaming is all about fun, extended sessions that don’t empty the wallet in a matter of minutes.

Our games are all about that, and we’re here to entertain this summer like never before. Take the example of our most recent hit, Before Time Runs Out, taking players on an audacious adventure that sees them saddle-up in an ancient Middle Eastern wilderness.

The title’s Duel Feature invites gamblers to help its handsome hero battle the villainous Vizier, potentially winning x1,000,000 the line bet if the princely protagonist vanquishes his opponent. The hair-raising slot also showcases a Coin Respin Feature allowing players to win prizes worth up to x50, making it a truly action-packed caper designed for intrepid fans everywhere.

Orbs of Atlantis, meanwhile, is a Habanero hit providing players with an exhilarating aquatic experience in that legendary city of old. The title’s Big Reels feature showcases a unique reel structure unlike anything else in the industry, so it’s safe to say we’re delivering the goods for partners looking to keep players engaged with something genuinely new and different.

Slots such as these – visually pleasing and easy to play – are going to be key to retention and acquisition this summerespecially with all the sporting fixtures on the agenda. Euro 2021, and the Olympics, present a fantastic cross-selling opportunity for those of us in the casino sector, and slot providers who get it right could be onto a real winner.

Habanero is able to deliver exactly that for a global partnership network stretching across LatAm and Europe, where we’re continuing to celebrate multiple tier one operator deals courtesy of our recent acquisition of the highly coveted MGA and ONJN Licences. We can’t wait for what comes next!

Intelligent bonusing drives player loyalty

IGT

IGT has adapted its business to the new normal to deliver business growth for our customers. During 2020 we continued with gaming innovation, new system updates and additions as well as growing our electronic table games portfolio. In 2021 we will be launching many of these innovations, including a series of new, locally-developed links as well as new hardware for our future products.

Given the pressures COVID has put on operators’ businesses, they are now looking for new technologies to help them adapt and grow. So, there has been strong adoption of IGT’s ADVANTAGE® Intelligent Bonusing products, which enable casinos to deliver targeted bonuses floor-wide or for specific player types – all set by the operators to drive greater patronage and player loyalty.

Operators also need to offer bonuses to players during a play session, and market directly to the player’s mobile phone while on the casino floor. Plus, venues want to be able to identify hot, as well as new, players in real-time so they can proactively enrol un-carded players. These are all features of IGT’s Mobile Host product – offering the best on-the-go solution.

From the players’ perspective, they’re seeking greater recognition and reward for their play. They’re also expecting greater ease and convenience when it comes to engaging with loyalty programs and transferring funds between the gaming machines and paying for entertainment in the property. This is even more so in Asia than in other parts of the world. IGT’s Resort Wallet product is the perfect solution for these players.

Bridging the land-based/online gap

JADE

Jade Interactive, a division of Jade Entertainment, provides land-based Properties with the tools to expand their operations into the online environment.

The difference between success and failure lies in the ability to innovate. With online casinos striving to create an immersive experience that resembles the real thing, land-based operators are using groundbreaking technology to make their physical games more entertaining

In recent years, the quality of gameplay online operators have been able to provide has come on leaps and bounds. The crèmede-la-crème of their products is live casino, which links players up with real-life dealers, adding the all-important human element to the experience gamblers can enjoy from the comfort of their own living rooms.

Not only are these dealers real people but they are the same people that they would encounter when they visit their local property – they’re using real casino equipment such as roulette wheels and blackjack cards. This means that players also get the benefit of using strategies commonly used in land-based casinos.

Jade can bridge the gap between land based casinos and players in the digital world. It combines the proven appeal and dynamic entertainment of casinos with a fully interactive, real-time AR experience that immerses gamers in true gaming action whether at home or on the go. Gamers can play, chat, challenge, practice, and engage with their friends, other players, and real dealers on their PCs and mobile.

Products are built on a core of live streamed table games with real dealers. The product complements this with a suite of multiplayer electronic table games to complete the casino gaming experience. The human element of dealers and the community of table game players coming together with the platform renders a highly- personalized, and appealing land based experience.

Jade works with the best-in-breed technology, deep casino expertise, and a focus on delighting the gaming community. Its diversified product and platform can be leveraged to provide a variety of market options including Live Dealer Studio and On Property, Casino Games, Live Sports, Virtual Sports and a variety of betting options.

It’s clear to see that the rise in online gambling has had a transformative effect on the gambling industry as a whole. As players have headed there in their droves, attracted by the convenient and high-quality nature of the gameplay they offer, however, bricks and mortar establishments can now start to use technology as part of their Armory.

ARK-65 enjoys success in Cambodia

JUMBO

ARK-65, the six-seater electronic fishing game — Fortune Cruise — is Jumbo’s latest and finest innovation and has successfully become a part of Cambodia’s attraction this year.

Despite the continued pandemic influence on the global economy and cancellations of industry exhibition shows, Jumbo has not stopped striving towards market expansion.

Other than the casino in Phnom Penh, the Fortune Cruise can also be found at Donaco’s Star Vegas in PoiPet City. At these casinos, Fortune Cruise has already proven to be one of the top products to capture players’ attention.

The brand new ARK-65 gaming cabinet, focuses on user experience, achieves inordinate efficacy and aesthetic craftsmanship. The LED lights situated around the gaming cabinet and the loudspeakers in each of its four corners provide an animated lighting show effect that shapes a highly recognizable design. The gaming cabinet completely integrates Jumbo’s patented technology, fashionable design, high quality, and high efficacy. The black-gold outer appearance portrays a contrasting aesthetic. With the visual feast for the eyes, Jumbo brings the best gaming experience to our players.

Euro 2021 the opportunity to realise better sportsbook success

PINNACLE

While the sports betting calendar may have been cut short last year, it’s returned bigger this time around with Euro 2021 imminent and looking well set to be the backbone of a major sports betting summer.

A month long goldmine of soccer action, Euro 2021 will see the return of the best teams to the biggest stages once more, and it’s fair to say that the sports betting community is excited, not just across Europe, but also in Asia, the Americas, and beyond.

However, despite inevitable acquisition boosts and increased turnover from your existing base, it’s not a time to sit back and wait confidently for the action to roll back in.

Now is an ideal time for operators to review their current trading success and decide whether they have the resources in place to extract the full potential from such a massive revenue opportunity. Those that rely on market average prices and basic risk management tools may find they’re not seeing a full return on investments.

Homogenised prices won’t be engaging existing or potential customers, while trading minor margins at major tournaments requires specific expertise to deliver consistent, impressive results. It will be those that have the risk management tools in place that can best drive revenue and maximise hold off the back of it, and, in doing so, reclaim much of the lost revenue from last year.

Pinnacle Solution continues to raise the bar and drive added value with a bespoke trading service to partner sportsbooks. Whether looking to start a sportsbook from scratch or upgrade to a better sports betting service, our iFrame or Turnkey Solution can be in position well in advance of Euro 2021, providing your brand with the springboard to a better sportsbook future.

Trusting in the legacy

PLAY’N GO

At Play’n GO, giving MORE isn’t just a case of providing more games; we also want to provide the next level of entertainment for our suppliers and their markets.

But sometimes, it isn’t just about the gameplay itself, but about developing the relationship the player has with our content, creating a connection with them that will leave a lasting impression.

Part of this comes from trust. People trust what they know and recognise, especially when it comes to their choice of entertainment. That’s why we invest in our stories’ intellectual properties, developing worlds and characters players want to experience over and over again.

Take two of our releases for April, Rich Wilde and the Amulet of the Dead and Fire Joker Freeze. Fearless explorer Rich Wilde is the star of many Play’n GO adventures, with a story interweaved through several games.

Players now know that they’re in for a great game and an entertaining journey when they see a Rich Wilde adventure. Because they trust our brand and the characters we create, they’re willing to invest their time on another Play’n GO experience.

The same goes for our second game Fire Joker Freeze. Our Joker Family of games has been highly popular within the market for years. This time it’s not about a particular character or the storyline, but people know that a Play’n GO Joker represents a simple classic slot experience combined with unique features based on the Joker. Each game brings a new twist, and players look forward to the latest instalment.

The industry is maturing, short term gains and ‘wow’ factors are no longer enough; it’s time to start planning long-term to keep your players connected to you.

At Play’n GO we’re not just about creating games; we’re creating legacies.

WDTS has worked with MGM China since 2016 to integrate PJM RFID into their table games and cage operations. Today, MGM maintains over 400 RFID-enabled live table games. Mr. Tian shared that in addition to improving table operations for game speed and overall efficiency, RFID technology and the availability of real-time game play and table performance data has driven improvements and operational innovations in other areas of the organization. Surveillance has implemented innovations in game security and marketing has gained new insights and capabilities with access to perfectly accurate and automated player ratings as well as tracking for player-owned chips. The introduction of this new technology has also enabled a mindset for innovation across team members that brings a fresh and strategic perspective to day-to-day operations.

Mr. Tian points to this kind of successful innovation as a critical vehicle in cultivating and maintaining a competitive advantage as the gaming industry matures and diversifies. While the game of baccarat has evolved with the addition of smart shoes and electronic trend boards, he noted that there will always be challenges in balancing the introduction of automated solutions with the customer’s preferred live gaming experience. Successful innovation must be flexible, user friendly, and enhance the customer experience. Perfect Pay has been able to do this by seamlessly integrating hardware and software to create not only a powerful game platform but also the ultimate customer experience.

Emily Io, Vice President of Sales for WDTS, attended the seminar at MPI and expressed her deep appreciation for Mr. Tian’s recognition as well as for MGM’s ongoing collaboration with WDTS to continue the advancement of the product as a key customer. Ms. Io is confident that these kinds of partnerships will ensure Macau’s role as a global leader in gaming innovation.
