Company to Debut SaaS Version of Epicentral
Promotion and Bonusing Print Solution Alongside Full Suite
of Gaming Printers
Revolutionary BOHA!™ Restaurant and Food
Service Back-of-House Ecosystem Joins the Show as TransAct
Demonstrates How BOHA! Can Improve Performance of Casino Operators’
Food Service Operations
TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or
“the Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and
printer solutions for high-growth markets, announced today that it
will debut its all-new Epicentral® 4.0 promotion and bonusing print
system at the 19th annual Global Gaming Expo (“G2E 2019”).
TransAct’s display (Booth #2423) at G2E 2019, to be held in Las
Vegas, Nevada from October 15-17, 2019 at the Sands Expo and
Convention Center, will also highlight the Company’s full lineup of
casino and gaming printers and software solutions, including its
Epic Edge™ ticket-in/ticket-out (“TITO”) printer, which has quickly
become the full-featured printer of choice for gaming devices
worldwide. The Company will also demonstrate for G2E 2019 attendees
its BOHA! SaaS-based software and hardware ecosystem for restaurant
and foodservice operations.
“The Global Gaming Expo is an annual highlight for our casino
and gaming team as we renew relationships across the global
industry and connect with new customers, demonstrating how our
casino and gaming print and software solutions can improve their
businesses each and every day. At G2E 2019, we will showcase a
diverse and innovative lineup of products including a significant
leap forward for our promotion and bonusing solution, the
industry’s most advanced and reliable lineup of printers, and our
revolutionary BOHA!™ ecosystem that can help casino operators
better manage their large, complex back-of-restaurant operations”
said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
TransAct Technologies. “We are particularly delighted to debut this
year the all-new Epicentral 4.0 which represents a dramatic shift
for our industry-unique promotion and bonusing print system. While
customers have had proven success deploying Epicentral in their
operations over the past six years, we have implemented a
game-changing new design which greatly improves Epicentral’s
performance and makes our system much easier to deploy. First, we
are introducing new capabilities that allow Epicentral to gain more
complete access to real-time player session data which will allow
operators to better understand their floor performance environment
and better target their players. Second, we have transformed
Epicentral into TransAct’s latest SaaS-based offering available for
on- or off-premise deployment, creating for TransAct a new
recurring revenue opportunity and allowing us to ensure that our
solution is always up to date. We’ve long understood that
Epicentral is a powerful marketing and promotional tool for casino
operators of all sizes and Epicentral 4.0 furthers this
promise.”
Epicentral 4.0: Taking Bonusing to a Whole New Level
TransAct’s Epicentral promotion and bonusing print system has long
been the industry’s only solution capable of targeting customers
with unique, custom-designed coupons while they play, all in
real-time. Printed messages received during game play are perceived
by players to be important and thus gain their full attention. As a
result, by turning promotions and bonuses into printed tickets,
Epicentral leverages the power of that printed message to extend
time-on-device, increase player spend and generate increased
customer loyalty, driving increased revenue and higher casino floor
profitability.
At G2E 2019, TransAct will take the capabilities of Epicentral
to a whole new level as it debuts Epicentral 4.0 for the first
time. Epicentral 4.0 offers a significant leap forward with new and
improved features designed to increase slot floor performance, all
while providing operators with more powerful software that helps
them optimize their deployment of the solution. Operators selecting
Epicentral 4.0 will find a sleek, web-based user interface that
creates an optimized user experience thanks to its clean aesthetic.
Importantly, with the new version 4.0, Epicentral is now
transformed into a SaaS-based software solution that dramatically
shifts the capabilities of what the system can do for operators
while creating for TransAct a whole new recurring revenue
opportunity. TransAct expects to commercialize the new Epicentral
4.0 solution in early 2020.
Additional new features debuting with Epicentral 4.0 include the
following:
- All-new web-based user interface to improve the user
experience
- A home page that includes a comprehensive dashboard showing a
full overview of past and present promotions running on the floor,
a list of carded players actively playing on the floor and a
leaderboard of the top players with their number of active
sessions
- A built-in query tool that allows users to find specific and
refined data
- A tool which allows operators to plan, analyze and check in on
the success of their promotions
These features and more will be on display in the Company’s
booth at G2E 2019 (Booth #2423). Current and prospective customers
are invited to visit with the TransAct team to see what the new
Epicentral 4.0 has to offer and to learn about its ability to
transform the promotion and bonusing experience on their casino
floors.
Epic Edge: The Leader in Ticket-In/Ticket-Out The
next-generation Epic Edge is the newest and best choice in TITO
printers, offering a 50 percent improvement over existing printers
thanks to its 300-dpi print resolution. Higher print resolution
allows the Epic Edge to replicate a nearly unlimited array of
characters and graphics, making it an ideal fit for casino
operators around the globe. The Epic Edge also creates sharper
barcodes which drive better ticket acceptance and reduced attendant
calls, resulting in measurably improved floor performance that
allows slot and table operations to run at peak efficiency. Epic
Edge can also print eye-catching, dynamic graphic images, making it
ideal for implementation alongside applications such as Epicentral.
The Epic Edge allows for firmware updates via a full speed USB 2.0
connection or directly via a micro SD card, making the process of
updating firmware faster than ever. Other features include a single
rugged outer chassis with color coded rails, numerous flexible port
options (Serial, USB and Netplex), hot swap capability to eliminate
game downtime, a faster ServerPort™ connection and an adjustable
ticket bucket that accommodates standard and smaller, paper-saving
tickets.

the industry’s most dependable and reliable TITO and roll-fed
printers. For more than 15 years, the Company’s Epic printers have
been a key component of the player experience across slot machines,
