G2E Theme/Key Messages: Transforming the Game.
G2E Overview
For 60 years, Aristocrat has been creating one of the world’s greatest gaming experiences every day. All around the world, players know and love Aristocrat games. In fact, one analyst recently reported that his survey of casino operators showed that Aristocrat provides some of the best overall games. Now at G2E 2013, Aristocrat is transforming the game with new titles, new features and new product diversity that will take the entertainment experience to the next level.
Riddle us this: How can fun begin with a BAP! and a POW! and a ZAP!? With the new Batman™ Classic TV Series Slot Game, of course! This new game immerses players in all the kitsch, fun and tongue-in-cheek action of the landmark TV series, complete with video clips, high-definition sound and exciting game play.
Next, zombies are taking over casinos everywhere with Aristocrat’s new The Walking Dead™ Slot Game. Based on AMC’s hit TV series, this new game puts players right in the middle of the show’s gritty post-apocalyptic world with a chance to escape with some major jackpots.
Aristocrat’s Buffalo™ continues to be a runaway hit. Now the franchise is expanding with the all-new Buffalo Stampede™. This new game features progressive jackpots, higher multipliers and fun new features, while maintaining the essence of the original game.
The new Wonder 4™ Stars builds on the success of the popular Wonder 4 series and incorporates a collect-style feature in the bonus, during which players collect symbols to win big in the free games. Players can enjoy playing four of their favorite games at the same time, and free games are also played in a four-window format regardless of which game triggered the bonus.
More Power™ is a new game category that builds on the strength of Aristocrat’s Reel Power™ category. In More Power, players collect symbols to unlock more ways to win during the free games and can unlock Super Reel Power for up to 3,125 ways to win.
Sky Rider™ and Temple of the Tiger™ are new entertainment-style games and the first from Aristocrat’s Max Stacks expert. These games have eye-catching, rich graphics that stand out on the floor.
The fun continues beyond the casino walls with Aristocrat’s award-winning nLive™ virtual casino solution. Named one of the Top 20 Casino Technologies, nLive is a custom B2B online-gaming solution with online wagering, social gaming and managed services. Designed to match the branding of any casino, Aristocrat’s nLive virtual casinos feature a mix of the best slot and table games, a new relationship between Aristocrat and Ongame poker network and an established RGS allowing for future superior content integration.
nLive casinos are protected with best-of-breed geolocation and age-verification technologies, and nLive sites are linked back to the property’s bricks-and-mortar CMS system, giving operators an amazingly insightful view of players and the ability to reward them for their play, wherever they play.
The world’s best games deserve one of the world’s best systems, which is why many operators in North America trust their gaming operations to Aristocrat’s award-winning Oasis 360™ system. At G2E 2013, Aristocrat will be showing inventive new modules that make Oasis 360 even more extraordinary.
First is nCompass™ 2.0., which has an easy-to-use and customer-friendly taskbar and expanded attractor windows that combine ease of use with keeping the game in clear view. nCompass 2.0 gives operators a huge range of configuration options, including customizing the entire look and feel to match the property’s brand.
Next is the business intelligence Cloud Solution powered by nVision™. This exceptional B.I. solution makes decision-making even faster and more informed. With Cloud Solution, operators get all of the benefits from nVision B.I., while Aristocrat does all the heavy lifting associated with data gathering and analysis.
Server-based gaming comes to life with Aristocrat™ OnDemand™, which has one of the easiest-to-use interfaces in the industry and offers exclusive features like a link to Oasis 360 BlackBart™ for seamless accounting updates, forced max lines and minimum bets, and highly configurable Aristocrat content. Because it is remote-driven, there is no need to touch any machine at all.

G2E Overview
In more than 30 years of the company’s history, Novomatic has grown to become one of the largest integrated gaming groups in the world. Accordingly, the product presentation at G2E will be highly integrated as well. Teams from Novomatic–Americas and Austrian Gaming Industries (AGI), plus all its Latin American and many international subsidiaries, will be live at the show in Las Vegas to present their products and solutions to G2E’s show visitors.

At the heart of the show will be AGI’s latest cabinet highlight, Dominator®, which has already become an outstanding success around the world since its launch earlier this year. This cabinet will celebrate its U.S. premiere at G2E, featuring a wide range of single games and multi-game mixes based on the server-based ready platform NOVO LINE™ Interactive, as well as a selection of Octavian single games.

The annual G2E event in Las Vegas is, without doubt, one of the most important exhibitions at which Novomatic is present. Thus, every effort is made to ensure that each and every booth presentation that Novomatic makes at G2E is, in its own way, special. This year’s event will be the result of a full 12 months of planning and organization, all geared to presenting the maximum visitor experience for those attending G2E 2013. Visitors to the Novomatic booth will be able to immerse themselves in the innovations, attractions and culture of the company’s “World of Gaming” and so gain an insight into exactly why Novomatic is a brand and a company that is held in such high regard throughout the entire international gaming entertainment industry.
Jens Halle, managing director AGI and CEO Novomatic Americas, had this message to share: “We look forward to G2E 2013 with great expectations. Over the years, this show has turned out to be one of the few trade events that truly attracts a broad international expert audience, not only from all the Americas but also from as far afield as Asia and Europe. Especially for Novomatic Americas, but also for the entire Novomatic Group, it is an event of major importance, and I would like to use this opportunity to invite all our customers and business partners to join us in Las Vegas.”

G2E Overview
Attendees will be excited after visiting the Konami Gaming, Inc. booth at G2E. On display will be a lot of new games, cabinets and features that will be developed and available within the next year, including the Podium Monument™, Titan 360™ and new SYNKROS features.
The Podium Monument is the newest addition to Konami’s Podium® family. It features a 22-inch touch screen LCD for base games and a large 32-inch vertical top box to display progressive levels. The top box has bright, attract-mode lighting that synchronizes with game play.
Quick Strike Quad™ is one of the first titles that will be released on the Podium Monument. It’s a KP3® video theme that includes a four-level progressive. The progressive feature is randomly triggered, and the more a player bets, the higher the chance of hitting the progressive. Additional game themes that will be featured on the Podium Monument are Snow Stars: White Winter™, Snow Stars: Wild Winter™ and Rock Around the Clock: Doo-Wop Dudes™.
Titan 360, Konami’s largest progressive machine, will also be showcased at G2E. The Titan 360 is a large bonus game extended above eight Konami video slot machines. It is compatible with Konami’s standard 30-line video game themes. For an additional 20-credit wager per bet level, players are given the opportunity to enter the Rise to Wealth™ bonus when a lock symbol appears on reel one and a key symbol appears on reel five. The amount available to be won in the Titan 360 bonus event is determined by the bet level wagered by the player when the bonus is triggered. During the Bonus Ring, the ball can land on a dollar amount or a color that corresponds with a progressive prize. With its big, bright and exciting features, the Titan 360 will definitely draw attention to the booth.
SYNKROS is Konami’s casino management system. It is best known for its advanced capabilities in real-time analysis, its reliability and its innovative marketing tools.

G2E Overview
Multimedia Games will continue to PLAY LOUDER™ at G2E 2013 with its unveiling of the latest installment in the Player Cabinet Series, new additions to the premium product series High Rise Games® and the latest game-play feature Must-Hit Jackpots™ showcased on a variety of games such as the player favorite Carnival in Rio® 2, as well as new holiday-themed, out-of-revenue games for the award-winning TournEvent®.
In addition, the TournEvent Ace™ app will make its first G2E appearance as part of the National TournEvent of Champions (NTOC) campaign. This “Second Chance” App, available on all iOS devices, has served as an additional way for players to qualify for a chance to play in the finals on Sept. 25. Based on the popular standard video game Triple Cheeseburger Deluxe™, players can participate daily in order to accumulate raffle entries into the drawing for the final two spots in the Championship Tournament. The top three scores of each day receive 50, 75 and 100 entries respectively, and players can also win additional entries by building specific burgers in the Burger Building Bonus. TournEvent Ace provides both casinos and players with another opportunity to say they’re playing for Ultimate Glory.
Multimedia’s Play Louder campaign also gets a new look this year at G2E with This Is How You Play Louder™, a message aimed at the spirit and passion behind the Multimedia gaming experience.
Building on TournEvent’s operator-efficiency updates from last year, Multimedia Games will also debut a new control center, holiday-themed out-of-revenue games and new user interface options with this latest version of their slot tournament system.
The Player Cabinet Series from Multimedia gets an update this year with the launch of its next generation, in-your-face cabinet that delivers the maximum player experience modern players have been craving. This cabinet isn’t for yesterday’s player—it’s for the player of tomorrow.
Along with this new cabinet, Multimedia will also be introducing two new game themes, Thundering Herd™ and Invasion from Outerspace 2, which were designed specifically for a larger-than-life gaming experience.
Multimedia will also continue to expand its High Rise Games series this year with even more innovative game themes, such as Moby Dick™, Chamilion Deluxe™, Crystal Jackpots™ Orient Express® and Crystal Jackpots™ Queen of the Desert®. The classic tale of man vs. whale comes to life on the over-sized High Rise Games topbox with vintage graphics, a five-tier progressive jackpot and mystery wilds, while progressive prizes abound in the Crystal Jackpots Free Spin Bonus with custom themes, symbols, gems and wild stacks.
New 100-line titles Carnival in Rio® 2 and Blazin’ Streak™ will also be launched at G2E 2013. These titles not only have 2-for-1 pay lines, where all 100 pay lines are available on a 50-credit bet, but they also feature Must-Hit Jackpots™, the newest innovation from the Austin-based slot manufacturers. This feature prominently displays the jackpot hit amounts on the game screen and shows the players how each game play gets them closer to winning their jackpot prize.
This year Multimedia’s booth will not only feature the wildly popular TournEvent of Champions’ tour bus and a specialty VIP suite for the unveiling of the latest addition to the Player Cabinet Series, but there will also be a High Limit Room that will showcase some of the top “high stakes” mechanical and video titles from Multimedia, such as the Smokin’ Hot Jackpots™ series, Patriot™, Wild Wild 7s™ and the classic game themes Smokin’ 777® and Double Jackpot®.
More than 100 games, such as Arriba™, Zombie Outbreak™ and Hotter N’ Hell™, will also be seen on the booth floor.

G2E will play host to the industry’s first-ever nationwide slot tournament, National TournEvent of Champions®, as Multimedia Games brings more than 85 players from more than 75 casinos across the country to battle it out for the crown and a share of $250,000.

G2E Theme/Key Messages: The Only Way to Play
G2E Overview
TableMaster Fusion is SHFL’s newest e-Table innovation, and it will make its U.S. tradeshow debut at G2E this year. A complete overhaul of its longstanding predecessor, TableMaster, this fully electronic product features a high-definition display with attractive virtual dealers, widescreen player terminals with touch screen betting, enhanced illumination, multiple side bets, a modern and attractive design, and support for multiple game offerings.
SHFL’s network-based Game Manager 2 progressive management software for table games will make a return to G2E this year after debuting at the show lastyear. This software works in conjunction with SHFL’s Nexus Command progressive hardware to enable multi-level jackpots and fully configurable multiple reserve pools. Players are now able to compete for multiple real-time incrementing meters with just one wager.
SHFL will also introduce a few new specialty table game titles this year, including Straight Edge Poker, where the objective is for the player to achieve a straight with more cards than the dealer. Straights may “wrap-around” the ace; for example, Q-K-A-2-3 is a five-card straight. If the dealer and player have straights of equal length, the final card breaks the tie.
Reelways is a slot feature SHFL introduced last year, where all symbols pay as scatters left to right, letting players experience more wins more often. The new GRAWR! Feature Plus and Gold Boom Feature Plus are Super Reelways games that build upon this feature, offering an extra row of symbols that leads to more winning combinations, more jackpots and more free games.
Also featured in SHFL’s slots segment are two new Block Pays games, Mixteca and Chili Fever. Block Pays games offer prizes up to 250 times the bet when a block is formed anywhere on the reels.
Using thin-client, elastic cloud technology, SHFL’s state-of-the-art online platform and i-gaming products are designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of online operations, including real-money, free-to-play, mobile and social gaming. The i-gaming portion of SHFL’s booth will feature its renowned suite of specialty table games available for online play, which includes player favorites like Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Casino War, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Mississippi Stud and Let It Ride, in addition to blackjack with Bet the Set, Royal Match and King’s Bounty side bets. Five new online games will also premiere, including SHFL’s latest specialty table game, Straight Edge Poker. SHFL will also show a sneak peek of new online content for 2014 and unveil the latest addition to its free-to-play offerings.
In SHFL’s utility segment, an exciting new shuffler concept utilizing state-of-the-art technology will be unveiled at the show. Under wraps until G2E, the goal of this new innovation is to provide casino operators with greater flexibility on underutilized tables. More details will be available when this product is revealed at the show.
As always, the SHFL booth blueprint boasts a unique configuration to showcase its extensive and diverse product categories.
SHFL’s G2E lineup of both new and proven solutions will highlight how its product portfolio is unlike any other supplier in the industry.
