Inside Asian Gaming

inside asian gaming April 2016 38 “At Scientific Games, we see new technologies as a big advantage for ETGs,” O’Brien said. “We are utilizing our ETS games on our newer MOJO cabinets in different variations of our Fusion products. This will allow us to offer the latest and greatest technology as well as side bets, progressives and skill-based games. For example, Fusion Auto Roulette brings traditional roulette to a fully configurable, live-action layout. A beautiful, color display board offers the latest statistics on table happenings and a camera displays the live ball drop on-screen.” In a recent press release, Scientific Games announced new products for its electronic table systems portfolio, including a French version of Tablemaster Fusion Blackjack, which transports the fast-paced excitement of live table gaming to a fully electronic platform; and a cutting-edge version of Fusion Hybrid that is connected to iTable Roulette. “The ETS market is the fastest growing segment in the gaming industry today,” O’Brien said. “While the segment is not new to overseas markets, it has yet to mature in North America. We believe the category will continue to grow due to the many advantages it offers to the players and operators, and Scientific Games is accommodating that growth with exciting new products never seen before on the gaming floor.” TANGIAMO AB Tangiamo AB is the manufacturer of the successful MultiPLAY electronic table game products, that allow players to share a single large touch surface for betting, resulting in a more social gaming experience. Tangiamo’s MultiPLAY platform combines the experience of live table gaming with the latest advances in touch screen technology, according to online product descriptions. By merging traditional table games with a full-sized, multi-player betting surface, the MultiPLAY platform keeps the core essence of live gaming that players enjoy while delivering the benefits of electronic gaming, such as increased profitability and reduced time between games. Tangiamo’s innovative Touch ID technology enables the MultiPLAY Quad HD to sense screen touches and at the same time identify the user. Players are able to enjoy the same experience as a traditional casino table with up to seven players interacting on the same playing surface, each with their own player menu. In addition, the MultiPLAY system can support an unlimited number of configurations. The MultiPLAY Quad HD is also compatible with some of the leading single-player terminals in the market, further increasing the number of potential players. The MultiPLAY HD can be equipped with an automated or virtual roulette wheel, and with bill acceptors, ticket printers and card readers at each position. The result is a powerful 24 hour-a-day live roulette platform that requires no dealer or inspection. Due to its smaller 55-inch LCD screen and innovative industrial design, the MultiPLAY Scientific Games’ Table Master Fusion uses video dealers to simulate the action and atmosphere of a live table game. Tangiano displayed versions of its MultiPLAY electronic table games at the recent ICE show in London. HD takes up far less space than a traditional gaming table. It is an ideal solution for smaller casinos, game halls and arcades; and can also be equipped with a virtual, on-screen wheel rather than a mechanical roulette wheel. Tangiamo’s award- winning innovative dice recognition technology brings a one-of-a-kind experience to electronic gaming. Combined with an ultra-high resolution camera, the MultiPLAY system is able to both project a live image to the playing surface of normal-sized dice and recognize the result. Previously distributed exclusively through TCS John Huxley, Tangiamo’s products are now distributed by Tangiamo directly, and by a network of selected local distributors in certain countries. Tangiamo unveiled its new Crystal Roulette table with exceptionally small footprint and revolutionary technology featuring transparent display at the 2016 ICE gaming show in London. “Through the use of cutting-edge display technology, Tangiamo Crystal Roulette provides a solution with much smaller footprint than any other multi-player roulette on the market,” said Mats Nordahl, CEO for Tangiamo in a prepared statement. “At the same time, players are moved closer to the roulette wheel, resulting in a much more involving and exciting player experience.” Reprinted with permission of Casino Journal Tech Talk
