solutions to the Australasian Gaming Expo and Sydney's ICC. Our commitment to providing
customers with the world's best products will be clearly
demonstrated across all of our business lines as we herald in a new
era for the Australasian gaming industry."
Scientific Games' diverse line-up of game content will cater to
every type of player. The world's coolest cat, THE PINK
PANTHER™, will be featured as a standalone progressive and as a
linked progressive with four new titles – Kalahari King ™,
Mega Mariachi™, Many Fortunes™, and Big Ned
Kelly™.
Other popular, third-party licensed brands on display at AGE
include IRON MAN™ and MONOPOLY Grand Hotel® – both
developed locally in Scientific Games' Sydney game-development studios.
Bolstering the licensed games are several original new game
themes that will be released throughout the second half of 2017,
including new Big Reel Feature games Rolling
777™, Silk Moon™, and God of Wealth, to name a
few. Continuing its successful run with the
high-performing and entertaining Locked & Loaded
standalone titles and the internationally acclaimed Lock It
Link™ games, the library grows to nine games with the addition
of Deep Sea-Lock It Link.
Three Scientific Games slot platforms will be prominently
featured: the Dualos cabinet with its 58.4-centimeter full
HD widescreen monitors and OLED button panel; the ALPHA 2 Pro
Series V27/27 cabinet with its dual 68.5-centimeter HD displays
leveraging the Dualos game library; and the ALPHA 2 Pro
Series Wave cabinet, with its trademark 101.6-centimeter curved
LCD vertical touchscreen monitor.
From its electronic table systems portfolio, Scientific Games
will display Roulette, Baccarat, and Sic Bo on its award-winning
Shuffle Master® Fusion platform with its stunning new
Quartz™ cabinet, designed to transform electronic table game
play. Players will appreciate the Quartz™ onscreen video
dealer displays and enhanced statistics on each of the betting
screens; a variety of new dealers; an increased library of games;
and multi-lingual player interfaces. Casino operators, in
turn, will find advanced features such as the ability to add
additional tables; the power to schedule bet limits to suit the
time of day; options to allow players to easily switch between
games and tables; and the ability for casinos to create zones to
increase floor energy and player engagement.
Gaming Systems Transform Floorwide Bonusing, Rewards, Mobile
Connection
Another AGE highlight will be Scientific Games' array of gaming
system solutions, which go far beyond the traditional player
tracking and slot accounting functions to drive player engagement
across the gaming floor.
Solutions such as the Company's iVista4 in-game display
manager now offer state-of-the-art widgets and connectivity to web
services – enabling opportunities for our customers to communicate
with players like never before. Whether it is floorwide bonusing,
secondary wagering, customer service, or accessing websites and
promotional kiosks, the feature-rich iVista4 enables casinos
to manage their own content dynamically.
Scientific Games' Integrated Table Game Solutions Deliver
Richer Player Experience
Rounding out its end-to-end suite of solutions for the entire
gaming floor, Scientific Games offers a host of proprietary table
games and utility products to entertain players and help customers
achieve the highest levels of safety, security and reliability.
As the industry leader in the depth and breadth of its
proprietary table games portfolio, Scientific Games showcases these
titles at AGE: EZ Baccarat®, ZAPPIT®, Zombie
Blackjack, and DJ Wild® Poker.
A host of utility products will also be on display for AGE
attendees to experience first-hand. Known for its market leadership
in card shufflers, chip sorters, and other utility products,
Scientific Games will showcase two new innovations:
- ShuffleStar®, a groundbreaking, low-profile
front-loading shuffler that shuffles four to eight decks
continuously and features a revolutionary high-speed flat-dealing
shoe and sophisticated card recognition using two cameras.
- Shufflink™, a pioneering innovation that for the first
time links shufflers, chip sorters, and i-Shoe® dealing
shoes to the casino-management system to provide real-time data and
reporting on table performance, player ratings, and important
metrics —without dealer input, interaction or any manual data
collection.
Lottery Technology Enhances the Retail Experience
Scientific Games' technology, games, and services are chosen by
lotteries in more than 50 countries around the world, and now AGE
attendees can experience the latest retail technology. On
display at AGE are the following lottery innovations:
- WAVE is Scientific Games' high-performance, flagship
lottery terminal that's ergonomically designed for ease of use and
speed of service, ultimately making it more efficient to sell and
purchase lottery games. Flair is Scientific Games' smallest
full-function all-in-one terminal, designed to minimize required
space at retail check-out counters and maximize valuable selling
space for other products. Flair integrates everything a
retailer needs – printer, document scanner, barcode reader, and
touchscreen interface – in a sleek, compact unit.
- For lottery sales outside the traditional retail store, the
WT8600 mobile handheld terminal enables mobile sales. With a
real-time data connection to the host system, the WT8600
fully supports instant and draw games sales, validations, and
ticket management just like our in-store terminals.
- There is nothing like a winning ticket confirmed by Scientific
Games' wireless ticket checker. The Company's reliable technology
provides a fast, easy method for players to check tickets on their
own, without involving a retailer clerk. The compact design and
wireless connectivity makes it simple to install in minimal retail
space.
- Today's consumers love convenience, and they'll find it in the
award-winning PlayCentral® HD lottery game dispenser for
instant, draw, and monitor games. An unparalleled self-service
experience, PlayCentral HD features a 106.7-centimeter full
HD touchscreen display that combines rich, vibrant graphics with an
intuitive user interface to actively engage players.
