The first game to be housed in the attractive Skytower™ cabinet, this game is an attention grabber on any casino floor. Colossal Diamonds™ is a quiet classic; this larger-than-life game takes the space of three standard cabinets, but performs on par with about eight of them. The simple, classic game play and high denom configuration has been the top performing game at each of its locations across the country so far, in some cases, the top performer for years.
AGS is excited to enter the table games market with a product as strong as War Blackjack™. Named the 2013 Best Table Game of the Year by Casino Journal, War Blackjack is already in play at select casinos around the country, with more installations to come. Stop by and try a hand at the booth.

Crane Payment Innovations

AGEM Representative: Brian Wedderspoon
G2E Booth Number: 4747
Crane Payment Innovations (CPI) will be highlighting a range of products that improve operator profitability through greater performance, reliability and newfound cash management efficiencies. The new MEI SCR will be among the products on display.
The SCR is a two-denomination note recycler that combines the performance and reliability of MEI SC Advance technology with the benefits of note recycling as part of a total cash management solution. As a single closed-loop system, the SCR accepts, accounts for and stores cash from one player to give as change to the next. This allows operators to pay out winnings completely and securely without worrying about hopper starvation. And by holding up to 60 notes on each of its two recycling drums, the SCR provides the capacity required for longer uptime, less cash float on site and, ultimately, lower operating costs.
What makes the SCR unique among note recyclers are its security features, including a removable anti-stringing mechanism and an inventory management system that accurately tracks how many notes go into and out of the machine. It even provides complete note accountability when powered down. And access to system components when needed for maintenance can be done without providing access to secured notes. The SCR soon enters beta test in the German AWP market with the goal of being available for sale by end of year.
Crane Co. completed its acquisition of MEI in 2013, consolidating the note and coin products provided by MEI and Conlux, as well as Crane Payment Solutions’ CashCode, Money Controls, NRI and Telequip brands. As a result, CPI offers the most comprehensive portfolio of cash management solutions in the industry, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to simplify their sourcing strategy and achieve complete solutions that will positively impact the bottom line.

As the gaming industry’s leading casino currency manufacturer, the Paulson, Bud Jones and Bourgogne et Grasset currency products are well respected for their extensive design options and unprecedented selection of security features, and at G2E GPI will debut several additions to the Paulson and B&G product lines. Renowned for their distinctive look and feel, Paulson chips are North America’s most popular casino currency brand, and GPI will introduce several product enhancements including new standard Paulson chip designs, colors and aesthetic features. The company will also showcase several chip security features that can help Paulson customers better protect their casino currency from counterfeiting and other threats.
Expanding its B&G injected chip portfolio is the new V-Series chip, an extensive range of standard chip designs that offer an unprecedented variety of configurations and features a new chip material formula that is stronger and more durable. Additionally, GPI has increased the value of this new product by including ChipShield as a standard feature. An anti-microbial substance that helps inhibit the growth of stain-causing mildew, ChipShield leaves a cleaner and more sanitary chip surface. Best of all, all V-Series four-shot chips come standard with an infra-red security feature exclusive to GPI.
New to GPI’s currency security features portfolio, 3-in-1 UV is a taggant that remains invisible under standard UV wavelengths. Because it can be added to injection-molded chip materials, it is easy to validate chips when they are in stacks or racks. It also offers three levels of authentication, including a forensic verification using Scanning Electron Microscopy.
Finally, GPI will also introduce SecuriFilm, a decal security film with a semi-transparent hologram-like effect that enables quick dealer authentication. SecuriFilm can be easily authenticated at the table and includes a covert security feature enabling a higher level of validation.
After visiting the booth, G2E attendees will better appreciate GPI’s commitment to innovation and expanding our product features and benefits to meet the needs of our customers.

AGEM Representative: Todd Cravens, CEO for The Americas
G2E Booth Number: 4433
G2E 2014 will be an important showcase for TCSJOHNHUXLEY with the launch of the new Gaming Floor Live platform and related products. More than 18 months in development, this new platform underpins the company’s strategy to supply products, solutions and support that drive and grow customers’ businesses through enabling technology innovations.
Group CEO Cath Burns said, “We are very excited about the launch of Gaming Floor Live and the impact it will make to our customer’s businesses. This is the first time it’s possible for table game products to communicate with one system to provide vital information such as reporting, analytics, optimization and accountability. With Gaming Floor Live we can collect all this data through our TIB (Table Interface Board) and feed it into the operators system for analysis. What’s more, it’s an open platform so it’s possible to connect not just our own products, but other vendor’s products too.”
With more than 900 tables installed in Macau, Gaming Floor Live is already maximizing efficiencies on the floor and improving dealer speed to increase revenue. By having visibility of enough data and knowledge to refine and optimize processes even a tiny amount, operators are able to save and make more money. Even a slight optimization on table revenues adds up to a significant and positive change to profitability.
Although the emphasis has been on developing and launching the new platform, TCSJOHNHUXLEY has not diverted its focus from the existing product range. In fact, much of the established portfolio such as the benchmark Chipper Champ 2, Saturn Roulette wheel and e-FX display products are now technology enabled to connect to the new platform.
As part of the Gaming Floor Live platform, visitors to the show will also see GFL Bonusing Solutions, the powerful Floor Wide Event and Mystery Progressive platform that can adapt to almost any table game and GFL Media, featuring e-FX table displays—the most comprehensive range of display solutions available for live gaming with the ability to drive results from the game as well as media and event content.
For the first time in the table game sector, Gaming Floor Live provides operators with a powerful single source tool that collects real-time data from all table devices and delivers opportunities to increase revenues as well as highlighting non-optimal game play and dealer inefficiency.

Treasure Box is Zitro’s new pirate-themed community game.

All you have to do is play, and the cash bonus activates on the game screen to give direct access to the draws. This new way of accessing Zitro’s community games means that participation in them will increase significantly, providing more excitement and more chances for players to win a prize.
All these innovations are the result of the company’s efforts in R&D to ensure that its products are the most entertaining, the most dynamic, the most exciting and the most profitable in the electronic video bingo market. Zitro offers players a unique and unforgettable gaming experience.
