New CyberMax™ System from Acres 4.0 will
Bring Real-Time Data Collection Capabilities to Slot Floors,
Elevating Benefits of TransAct’s Industry Leading Bonusing
Tool
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 a
new partnership with Acres 4.0 which will further elevate the
capabilities of the Company’s Epicentral® 4.0 promotion and
bonusing print system set to debut at the 2019 Global Gaming Expo
(“G2E 2019”). Designed to create access to instantaneous slot
player data across casino floors, the new CyberMax™ system from
Acres 4.0 will feed TransAct’s industry-leading system with
real-time player session data that will take the promotions and
bonuses made possible by Epicentral 4.0 to a whole new level.
TransAct will demonstrate the new capabilities made possible by
this partnership as part of its product demonstrations at G2E 2019
(Booth #2423), to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 15-17,
2019 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center.
“Since introducing Epicentral six years ago, our unique
promotion and bonusing print system has delivered proven results
for customers as our printed coupons and bonuses have helped
improve player engagement, increase player loyalty and enhance slot
floor performance,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and CEO of
TransAct Technologies. “While Epicentral has always delivered
strong performance for our customers since its first
implementation, one hurdle we have faced is the varied time delay
between players’ real-time activity and the transmission of that
player data from casino floor systems to Epicentral, data which is
critical to creating results-focused targeted promotions and
bonuses made possible by our system. With CyberMax, there is now a
way to overcome the limitations of existing slot floor systems that
cannot send detailed information on player events and often take up
to 15 minutes to send this information to Epicentral. By working
with the CyberMax solution, Epicentral will receive exponentially
more player data and play events in real time without having to go
through the casino’s slot system. This new partnership with Acres
4.0, by which we will leverage their revolutionary new CyberMax
system, will enable Epicentral to act on real-time information
thereby making promotional and bonus programs even more effective
for casino operators around the globe.”
Noah Acres, Vice President of Marketing for Acres 4.0, added,
“CyberMax gives casinos unprecedented abilities to enhance the
player experience. With access to player and machine data that is
exponentially more robust and delivered in real-time, casinos are
able to identify and fulfill player needs like never before. We’re
thrilled to partner with TransAct and their Epicentral 4.0
solution, which using CyberMax, will be able to precisely deliver
the right bonuses and promotions to the right player at the right
time.”
TransAct’s new Epicentral 4.0, debuting at G2E 2019 for the
first time, 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.
New features debuting with Epicentral 4.0 include:
- 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
CyberMax is a revolutionary slot system that gives casinos total
ownership and control of detailed behavioral data about their
players and games. The foundation of CyberMax is a fast data
pipeline that instantly delivers data to casino operators and any
vendor they wish to share it with. Operators receive exponentially
more data because reports occur in real-time with every handle
pull, and include large amounts of information ignored by existing
player tracking systems. This enables casino-approved third-party
developers to economically test, deliver and maintain innovative
applications, such as Epicentral 4.0.
Mr. Shuldman concluded, “We’re delighted to work with John Acres
and his team to implement Epicentral 4.0 alongside CyberMax and
believe that this new partnership will pay dividends for both
companies and generate higher levels of future success for our
customers. Real-time information sharing is something no other
company has been able to deliver in casino settings to-date and we
believe this represents a game-changing opportunity for application
providers such as TransAct.“
