“There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better.” —Mark Shields
In the past few years, the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers has experienced tremendous growth in terms of number of members, geography and influence. There are many reasons to support AGEM, and the advantages of membership of this top supplier association are abundant.
AGEM is proving to be a major force throughout the gaming industry, fulfilling the goals of its Executive Director Marcus Prater, newly appointed Director of Europe Tracy Cohen, the Board of Directors and its members. With 111 member companies from across the world, the association is growing stronger each year, and for good reasons.
Prater said the most impressive thing about AGEM’s growth since its inception in 2000 is how its members work together for a common good. “To get the likes of Aristocrat, Bally, IGT, Konami and WMS to put aside their competitive fervor and focus on doing the right things for the industry as a whole is very admirable. We are a very efficient organization that accomplishes a lot through our members working together,” Prater said.
As an AGEM member, companies get valuable representation from the association itself and through its official publications like the one you are reading now. “The benefits are dramatic for small companies and large,” Prater commented.
Financial benefits include discounts for G2E, G2E Asia and other trade shows, advertising discounts with Casino Enterprise Management along with exclusive podcast opportunities and access to the endorsed service provider program.
When it comes to new or unknown companies, Prater explained, “If you have a company that is trying to get into gaming or is in gaming but really not on the radar, by joining AGEM you give your company an instant stamp of credibility.”
And that AGEM stamp of credibility extends beyond companies just in the U.S. AGEM’s global reach was solidified this year with the opening of an office in Europe. “In addition to further growth in membership this year, the big news would be hiring Tracy Cohen as AGEM director of Europe,” Prater said.
The hiring of Cohen, who also serves as marketing manager for TCSJOHNHUXLEY, was prompted by the need to keep up AGEM’s international growth. “She has been a great addition to the team, and her base in the U.K. allows her to take care of the needs of all of our internationally based members,” Prater said.
Cohen said the most important aspect of her role as the AGEM director of Europe is to connect with AGEM’s more than 30 European companies. “One of the main reasons for AGEM appointing me was to have someone on the ground in the same time zone who was able to respond to e-mails and telephone calls in a timely manner and with an understanding of the local market,” Cohen said.
She added that her role as marketing manager for TCSJOHNHUXLEY has allowed her to establish good relationships and contacts with European companies over many years. She hopes her knowledge and experience in the market allows her to be better equipped to address any issues that affect suppliers in the region.
Prater and Cohen both stressed the effectiveness of being an AGEM member. “AGEM members now number more than 110 worldwide, forming the who’s who of gaming equipment manufacturers and suppliers. As an AGEM member, you would have a voice in shaping the future of the supplier segment of the gaming industry,” Cohen said.
Prater added: “I think any serious gaming supplier needs to be a member to improve their individual business while supporting the entire sector. We’re doing serious work that benefits the entire industry, and strength in numbers always wins the day.”
AGEM is currently very active in two key markets for gaming suppliers—Illinois and Mexico. AGEM is working with the respected Back to Work Illinois coalition to help ensure the Video Gaming Act and the ensuing expansion ultimately benefits all suppliers. “In Mexico, AGEM is already a strong voice pushing for regulatory and political reform that will further establish Mexico as a good place to do business and a steady environment for our members,” Prater said.
AGEM’s efforts in Mexico will take some time, Prater said, but he is confident AGEM will get to where they want to be in Mexico.
“We want AGEM to continue to grow in influence so that we have more say in shaping the global gaming landscape. That’s a simple but important way to look at an overall goal for AGEM.”
AGEM is the place for manufacturers to share information and network. AGEM members meet monthly to talk about matters of common interest. In a competitive environment, AGEM members cooperate on non-competitive matters of common interest. That work includes projects like the association’s participation in trade shows.
AGEM also gives operators the ability to work together in dealing with regulation matters in existing and emerging jurisdictions. AGEM is the common voice between jurisdictions.
Regulators are leery of trusting individual companies that may be self-serving in their recommendations. But when a group like AGEM shows up, representing all the major manufacturers and most of the minor ones, regulators can get a more objective view of regulators’ proposals and what manufacturers are looking for.
Manufacturers are often an afterthought in regulation, as jurisdictions focus on operators and then think about how the rules will impact manufacturers. AGEM provides a vehicle to get manufacturers’ voices heard. “Without a doubt, one united voice can make a big difference,” Cohen said.
Since each manufacturer deals with dozens or hundreds of jurisdictions’ regulations, AGEM offers great insight into what works and what doesn’t.
AGEM also spends significant amounts of time and money to get significant results for its members. Before Prater was executive director of AGEM, he was active on the board.
“We’re tackling much more important issues than we historically have. So that’s a testament to the influence and vision that we wanted to be more than just an ‘under the radar’ organization. We want to be influential throughout the gaming industry,” he said.
Prater’s belief in AGEM comes down to its core purpose and strength. “I believe in AGEM from the simple standpoint that there’s strength in numbers and there’s power behind one voice, and typically if there are significant issues affecting one supplier, then all the other suppliers are dealing with the same thing.”
The future is certainly bright for AGEM. “There is definitely more optimism and a positive attitude collectively displayed by the supplier segment of the gaming industry,” Cohen said. “We have an incredible number of talented individuals with the ability to be more influential and involved in discussions of the bigger issues.”
Prater echoes Cohen’s positive forecast for the future of AGEM. “I can tell you that, in my now 10 years of being associated with this organization, working together has been very easy and everyone recognizes it’s the right thing to do,” Prater said.

At G2E, there will be two banks of the following game titles: Dragon’s Reward, Glamorous Gold, Hot Winning Wilds and Kingdoms of Treasure. One of the features on the Dynamic 5 game is a skill stop feature. This enables the player to stop the reels to obtain additional free games.
Get ready to discover a whole new world of increased fun as players set off to your slot floor in Fortune Chaser™. This 8-level linked, community-style exploration progressive lets players travel from island to island looking for hidden treasure. In fact, they’ll chase this game to the high seas just to play available on select KP3® Twin Play™ titles.
At G2E, there will be two banks with the following KP3® themes: China Shores, Queens Shores, Jumpin’ Jalapenos, Treasure Voyage, Full Moon Diamond and Fairy Blossom. During the game when three or more colored frames—blue, red or green—are displayed, the player is awarded a pirate token of the color. The collection of the colored token will be displayed on top of the screen. After collecting five Pirate Tokens, a dice is rolled and the player’s ship is moved on the map. The map is displayed on the overhead sign where the player can keep track of the movement of their ship. The progressive game is triggered when a player’s ship lands on one of four islands. During the progressive game, the player is prompted to select one space on the grid. The larger progressive payout has more grids to reveal. If the gold or silver prize is revealed, the corresponding progressive is awarded. Chances to reveal gold or silver progressive increase during each consecutive bonus until one is revealed. Once a gold or silver progressive is revealed, the grid is reset. At the end of the feature, the game will return to the base game.
Konami has been actively expanding the proven performer library while introducing new unique game types to the industry such KP3 and Advantage Revolution. Fortune Chaser and Dynamic 5 will add to Konami’s variety of game products.

Over the last two years, ATRONIC has undergone “operational” integration with SPIELO, a North America-based leader in the VLT market and an award-winning manufacturer of high-performance gaming machines. This operational integration marked the first phase of our move toward improving our products and processes and ensuring that our games are tailored specifically to the needs of our North American operators and players.

Beginning now, this name change represents the completion of our integration under our single, unified goal of bringing compelling games and top-performing products to our customers.
As part of our mandate to improve our North American-focused game content and products, we have been expanding our Las Vegas-based game design studio. Other than that expansion, there have been no changes to our existing personnel as a result of this integration. Our account management team will continue to be dedicated to serving all casino customer accounts as they have in the past. Their territories and markets are not expected to change as a result of this integration. On the show floor, we’re featuring individual viewing pods that will offer our customers a brief visual summary of our near-term game development roadmap for North America.

entertainment brands and franchises of all-time. These include iconic Hollywood films like The Wizard of Oz™, popular game shows including Press Your Luck®, and Hasbro favorites such as Clue™ and Monopoly™.

Here are more specifics on the latest titles WMS will showcase at G2E®:
Power Spins™—This product is based on the mechanic from The Lord of the Rings™ game that enables players to activate a Power Spin® event at any time to increase your chances of winning. Players can accumulate Power Spin events higher than the maximum bet, allowing for a significantly more volatile experience.
Life of Luxury® Deluxe—The Life of Luxury Deluxe game is the follow-up to the successful Life of Luxury Progressive series. The game is designed for the local area progressive player looking for the chance at a life-changing amount. Players have the chance to win five times the top progressive award. There are six progressive levels and the top level is worth five times the second highest level.
Epic Monopoly™—The Epic Monopoly theme is the first Premium game to use the Super Multi-Pay® interface and the first Monopoly game to feature a wheel. The game also features a 32-inch top monitor and multiple bonusing options.
Super Team™—The Super Team theme is the first CPU-NXT®3 game to debut from WMS and is Player’s Life® Web Services enabled. Hero Editor allows players to develop their own characters. The game includes 21 different bonus heroes divided into two teams. The Super Team game is designed to appeal to the player looking for continual bonuses and a fun experience using state of the art technology and adaptive, persistent state features.
Clue™—Based on the classic board game, the Clue theme allows multiple players on a bank to work together to solve a mystery. Players select their characters when entering the game and six bonuses feature different unlockable rooms. At the end of every bonus, the player gets a chance to solve a mystery to win a progressive. If the player does not solve the mystery, the next player attempting to solve the mystery has better odds at solving it.
THE WIZARD OF OZ Journey to Oz™—THE WIZARD OF OZ Journey to Oz theme is WMS’ largest adventure from THE WIZARD OF OZ brand yet! This exciting communal slot is packed with player-favorite technologies, including Collaborative Gaming™ technology, BOSE® 3SPACE® surround sound gaming chairs, a wide area progressive and our first 1024-ways base games. The excitement kicks into high gear when the Bigger Event® bonus triggers and Glinda the Good Witch spins the large community wheel on dual 52-inch overhead screens, awarding credits or one of five special character bonuses.
MONOPOLY Party Train®—The MONOPOLY Party Train theme takes numerous player-popular mechanics from previous MONOPOLY slots and enhances them with additional features. Available in mechanical and video base game versions, the Party Train game introduces the Mooove Feature that can randomly take players around the MONOPOLY board for free spin enhancements, bonus triggers and more! Enter the Free Spin Bonus to find your bonus enhanced with extra spins, 2 WILD Reels, extra dice rolls or higher available multipliers, depending on your location around the board. All aboard!
WMS remains at the forefront of player-pleasing game products. Additional details of the company’s Global Gaming Expo offerings will continue to be unveiled leading up to the show. Booth visitors will see firsthand how WMS translates feedback from customers and players into insights that drive new high-earning product solutions and will have greater insight on how to transform their casino floor to engage and excite their players.

G2E Overview
At G2E 2011, we will be demonstrating our Add A Game Program where casinos can feature authentic, playable video poker games on their website. They choose a game of their liking—usually a game that’s new to their casino floor—provide the game families and pay tables they’d like to feature, and we do the rest. Within 48 hours, we provide simple code for the game that can be placed anywhere on their website. The game is hosted by VideoPoker.com so there is minimal work for the casino. More than 30 casinos have taken advantage of our Add A Game Program.
Our Add A Game Program can help casinos increase traffic to their website and build player loyalty by giving them a chance to practice and play games for fun before they play for real at the casino. We also have a custom Add A Contest Program where we develop and host video poker contests on casino websites. This is one more way to engage players, create loyalty and drive both web and casino traffic. Our Add A Game Program is free.

In addition, Jumbo’s multiplayer roulette, Sic Bo and baccarat have drawn rave reviews from players who love the well-architected interface and console, as well as operators because of the excellent earning potential they provide. Of course, carefully designed and well-crafted products still need to be backed up by knowledgeable and experienced support. This is an area where Jumbo really excels, primarily because of the proactive type of service that they provide to all their partners. Ultimately, the key reason for Jumbo’s success lies in the trust that exists between the company and its partners. This “Everyone’s a Winner” mentality pervades everything the company does, thus ensuring that Jumbo is the best partner for all your gaming needs.
