Elektroncek—Organic Live
Elektroncek has introduced a new wave of inspiring multi-player gaming solutions to be sold under the Interblock trademark. Interblock’s fourth generation of gaming machines is introducing for the first time the multi-game principle. This means that players on each play terminal can chose a game from any G4 Organic gaming machine in the venue that supports the multi-game principle. Organic Live is a multi-player gaming machine, designed as a semi-automatic version of the roulette game. It employs a real roulette wheel by Cammegh and Organic play terminals, situated around the wheel, where players place their bets through a touch screen. Organic Live requires a croupier to operate. The croupier follows the game progress on his own display, where he confirms the result after it has been detected by the sensors or enters it manually as a fail-safe precaution. Organic Live allows the operators to choose from different possibilities of play station placing and colors, while the multi-game option allows the operator to place additionally manual or automated cylinders to be connected to the same play station.

Racing Card Derby™—ICU2
The ICU2 is the latest in card recognition devices and has many features and applications. This low-cost device (less than 25 percent of the cost of other devices) uses a truly unique biometric approach to achieve 100 percent accurate playing card recognition. The ICU2 allows a casino operator to recognize any style of playing card, using any style of cardshoe. This sleek box-like unit (15cm X 15cm) with low voltage LED lighting can flush-mount to any gaming table. Once a card is scanned over the light diffusing glass cover, the playing card is instantly recognized by the miniature hi-definition video camera and software. It is quiet, reliable and extremely fast. This truly unique technology is a result of more than 20 years of research in neuroscience and originates from biology exploration, which is inspired by human vision strategies, instead of originating from computer vision with classic image analysis algorithms. The visual pattern recognition engine derives from cognitive science and is capable of learning any new pattern. This is based on a novel approach for neuron networks and allows a small footprint with groundbreaking performance from a standard PC. For more information, visit www.racingcardderby.com.
