March 07 2017 - 7:45AM
Business Wire
TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or
“the Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and
printing solutions for high-growth markets, announced today that
the Company is continuing its ongoing relationship with Scientific
Games (Nasdaq: SGMS) through the sponsorship of SG EMPOWER for the
seventh consecutive year. To be held March 7-9, 2017 at Planet
Hollywood in Las Vegas, Scientific Games’ flagship user conference
will also include an opportunity for TransAct to demonstrate for
Bally system users its Epicentral promotion and bonusing print
system, the new Epicentral SE system edition and the all-new Epic
Edge gaming device ticket printer.
“As a long-time Scientific Games partner, SG EMPOWER provides
TransAct with an opportunity to demonstrate for the Bally user
community how our value-added technology and print solutions can
improve their casino operations and help grow their revenues,” said
Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct
Technologies. “We both appreciate the power of a printed coupon to
capture players’ attention in real-time and TransAct is excited to
show off the continued evolution of our Epicentral promotion and
bonusing solution, including a systems edition that will unlock the
power of an upcoming version of the Bally CMP™ program, allowing
operators to create promotional programs and deliver offers to
players via a printed coupon. Furthermore, as the clear leader in
the casino, gaming and lottery printer market, we believe the
high-resolution print capabilities offered by our new Epic Edge
combine nicely with Epicentral to deliver high quality printed
tickets and bar codes that will help users enhance their
operations, improving bill validator performance and coupon and
promotion design.”
TransAct’s Epicentral SE systems version was designed to enable
the new coupon printing capabilities featured in the upcoming
version of Bally’s industry-leading CMP™ casino management system
expected to debut in 2017. Epicentral SE will allow casino
marketing teams to create promotional programs available to players
via a printed coupon by leveraging its powerful API (Application
Program Interface) as well as several unique Epicentral software
modules: Design Center, Print Manager and System Center.
Epicentral is the casino industry’s only enterprise-level
solution which enables the real-time direct delivery of targeted
coupons and bonuses to players at the slot machine or electronic
table game. Casinos that have implemented Epicentral have seen
consistent strength in their floor performance, reporting a 60%
increase in new player club registrations, an 87% bounce back
redemption rate, a 14% increase on time-on-device, a 100% increase
in lower-tier Average Daily Theo (“ADT”), a 46% increase in slot
handle and a 37% increase in weekday afternoon play. The latest
v3.8 version of Epicentral allows operators to run multiple
promotions at the same time, create games within games, offer
multi-user/multi-site promotions, run different promotions on
different slot game banks, segment players by tier and promote to
different levels of uncarded players. It also allows for the
ability to redeem, print or reprint bonuses at multiple locations
as well as an enhanced user interface and more reporting
options.
TransAct will also demonstrate at SG EMPOWER its next-generation
Epic Edge casino and gaming ticket printer. Building on the proven
performance of the industry-leading Epic 950, the Epic Edge brings
to casinos a host of advances that will further extend TransAct’s
industry leadership. The Epic Edge is the first ticket-in/ticket
out (“TITO”) printer to offer 300 dpi print resolution, a 50%
improvement over current printers, which allows for razor sharp
barcodes that help to improve bill validator acceptance and reduce
attendant calls while allowing for clearer text and more attractive
coupon artwork which enhance Epicentral implementations. It also
introduces an adjustable ticket bucket that will allow casino and
gaming operators to use smaller tickets to save money and reduce
paper usage in concert with ecologic and environmental programs
being implemented by casinos. As a drop-in replacement for the Epic
950, casino operators can also run both the Epic Edge and Epic 950
side-by-side.
Key features for the new Epic Edge include:
- Single outer chassis with Serial, USB
and Netplex ports to allow the printer to work with any machine
type
- Hot swap capability to eliminate game
downtime
- Two high-speed interfaces for firmware
and graphics updates: USB and Micro SD
- Upgraded ServerPort™ connection
- Rugged metal chassis design
