LEVIS, QUEBEC (TSX VENTURE: DEQ), leading provider of table
gaming bonusing, jackpot and loyalty solutions, along with its
partner Paltronics Macau Ltd. ("Paltronics"), have announced today
the installation of eight G3(TM) enabled Baccarat Progressive
tables at the well-known StarWorld Hotel and Casino in Macau
("StarWorld"). The system was installed by Paltronics Macau and is
referred to as the "Paltronics G3(TM) enabled One Link Table
System�".
As part of the intellectual property licensing agreement
announced on May 15, 2007 Paltronics has licensed DEQ's G3(TM)
table game bonusing patents to incorporate DEQ's exclusive bonusing
features into its One Link� family of products for jackpot, media
and casino management. The G3(TM) enabled One Link Table System� is
available for the first time in Asia's premier casino market.
StarWorld is the first flagship entertainment complex of Galaxy
Entertainment Group and operates over 260 tables.
"Being able to penetrate the world's largest and fastest growing
casino market is another milestone accomplishment for us. Following
our success with similar agreements with Harrah's and Station
Casinos in Las Vegas, I believe we are in exceptional position to
set DEQ for significant future growth," said Earle G. Hall, DEQ's
President and CEO. "Macau is the biggest market for Baccarat in the
world. It is technologically mature and very receptive to value
added features such as our table game bonusing system. We are very
proud to be offering the power of our patents and features with
Paltronics' system and media capacity," concluded Hall.
"We are happy to offer an exceptional value added product such
as the G3(TM) enabled One Link Table System� on our Baccarat
tables," stated Ciaran Carruthers, Chief Operating Officer of
StarWorld Macau. "Baccarat is the game of choice in Macau and DEQ's
cutting edge bonusing methods create that extra incentive for the
player while increasing table performance for the casino. However,
what truly sold us on the entire concept was the creation of a huge
progressive jackpot made possible by linking tables together."
Kylie Rogers, Regional Sales Manager for Paltronics Macau added:
"Paltronics is excited to be stepping into the Macau table game
market with this innovative product, which is the latest addition
to the already proven One Link System� Solutions family. Paltronics
is once again proving its leadership role by being the first to
roll out this advanced bonusing system to the Asian market."
The G3(TM) is a linkable bonusing, jackpot and loyalty
server-based system that brings an entire suite of bonusing and
system processes to table games, providing casinos with increased
revenues and additional player participation. The G3(TM) system has
already been approved and installed in more than 200 casinos, in
over 30 countries and is protected by 10 patents.
