Inside Asian Gaming

INSIDE ASIAN GAMING | May 2012 70 DLV L atvia-based DLV was founded in 1994 and initially focused on its home turf in the Baltic region, but gradually expanded its presence into international markets including the European Union, non-EU countries in Eastern Europe, Central America and South America. In early 2010, the company made its maiden foray into Asia with the first of several installations in Cambodia. It is now actively looking to expand its reach in the continent. DLV ChairmanMihail Volokotkin believes the Asianmarket, which has been long dominated by the major international slot suppliers, is now hungry for greater choice, making way for new brands and products, including his own. DLV has good insight into the needs of slot operators— particularly the needs for operational and cost flexibility. As well as manufacturing slot equipment, the company runs slot halls in its home market and in South America. It also assists with the running of operations in Asia. DLV will be showcasing its products at Stand 514 at G2E Asia 2012, from 22nd to 24th June at The Venetian Macao. Inside Asian Gaming asked Mr Volokotkin what visitors to his company’s stand could expect. IAG : DLV offers two competitively-priced wide screen cabinets. Can you tell us about them? Mr Volokotkin : Our company strives to stay up to date and meet the evolving needs and demands of our partners. Our prime objective is to create user-friendly products that meet current standards and market trends. DLV is proud of its two latest cabinets, which are both highly marketable. The first is the DIAMOND STD – Slant Top, equipped with two 22” TFT screens and two multi-functional MK4 hoppers, as well as offering TITO support. It is also compatible with various casino management systems. The second is the DIAMOND DW – Upright, also with two 22” TFT screens and equipped with twoMK4hoppers, JCMbill acceptor and TITO support. In addition, it has a panel for the optional installation of management system components. This cabinet was designed in accordance with the standards and requirements of our customers. All products have been developed in collaboration with Grantech International company, who has been our partner for the past ten years. What are the advantages for customers who choose DLV over the larger slot machine manufacturers? Although DLV products can be found in the Asian market, our brand is still not well known throughout the region. The advantages we offer are flexibility and speed of response. In addition, DLV takes an individual approach to each client.
