Ewith Zitro, it is a pleasure. Zitro (Ortiz written backwards) is full of people who are nice to do business with. More importantly, they develop quality products that deliver great performance.

Please tell us more about Zitro?

Thanks to the incredible performance of it’s extremely popular games, Zitro today is the fastest growing company in the gaming industry, conquering new markets and seducing players around the world.

Can you provide details on your most popular cabinets and games?

The game library of Zitro is quickly growing and the success of the games is astonishing. At the show in

Ukraine, we will showcase Link King and 88 Link, two of our most popular video slot games that, we are convinced, will cause sensations on the casino floors in the country, just as they do in other parts of the world; positioning themselves between the top three of the best performing games in casinos.

The record-breaking multi-game progressive ‘Link King’ is an absolute triumph everywhere it has been installed. Link King comes with a multi-level progressive jackpot that can be won in its fascinating Link King Bonus. Players absolutely love the exciting symbol driven bonus mechanics of this highly volatile game that guarantees fun and excitement. Its unique and differentiated four game titles are packed with extra features such as Fixed Wilds, expanded symbols and giant symbols that increase winning chances and maximise excitement. Link King comes on the ultra-slim Fusion slant cabinet. Thanks to its impressive panoramic signage, it creates a stunning bank presentation that is a guaranteed eye-catcher. 88 Link on the other hand comes with two different sets of games: ‘88 Link Wild Duels’ inspired in traditional Chinese legends, and ‘88 Link Lucky Charms’, based on ancient Japanese talisman. Both games come with four exclusive game titles providing a variety of appealing gaming experiences. In addition, 88 Link combines the extremely popular ‘243 ways’ multi-way game mechanics with the hugely successful ‘Link King Style’ bonus and adds a super exciting energy ball to it, that gets loaded while playing, advancing the player how close he is to get to the bonus round. With the ‘Link-up’ feature, players can choose the betting amount and opt for the various jackpot levels. Players love the thrilling bonus which is triggered with only one wild symbol once the energy ball is charged with enough energy. Wild symbols will retrigger free games and adrenaline is taken to exceptional levels when the screen gets filled up with Wild symbols bringing the Mega Jackpot as close as ever to the player in each bonus round. 88 Link is presented on the fantastic Allure cabinet including three 27-inch Full HD screens. The graphics on the upper screens of each of the machines in a bank configuration work together, thanks to the ‘SynchroScreens’ functionality, creating a harmonious visual spectacle. Allure also includes the digital button panel ‘SmartDeck’ providing more comfort to players and higher efficiency to operators.
