25.09.2013

(US).- Gtech, with its gaming product brand, Spielo, will participate at G2E Las Vegas this week. Booth 1265 will feature the first PopCap Games title in the distributed market, Bejeweled, as well as Vault Breaker, a multiple vendor, multi-player Mystery Progressive game designed specifically for the North American distributed market.

Gtech is offering to its distributed customers a multiple vendor, multi-player Mystery Progressive, its first progressive to run on the Player Window. The Player Window technology allows customers to provide a single, jurisdiction-wide progressive product on all machines, regardless of vendor. The Vault Breaker game provides up to three bonus levels supporting local, regional, and jurisdictional Wide Area Progressive jackpots.

Another debut is the first PopCap game for Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) customers on the prodiGi Vu cabinet: Bejeweled. With a copy of Bejeweled, PopCap’s flagship title, purchased somewhere in the world every 4.7 seconds, players will instantly recognize this global bestseller in its VLT game form. Gtech now offers PopCap titles in all market segments: North American and International Casino, Interactive and VLT Lottery.

On the systems side, Gtech will be showcasing a number of enhanced Game to System services for its INTELLIGEN central system. Services released this year include the Player Services Manager (PSM), as well as the Player User Interface , which offers new communications windows across all manufacturers’ VLTs. This provides a consistent player experience and new innovative, player-driven content, as well as introduces the opportunity to bring new enhanced player services to market, including Gtech’s new Responsible Gaming and Player Loyalty and Rewards services.

The show includes the launch of new game sets for Operator markets. The firm is launching its second game set in Illinois, including Penny and Pick-a-Prize games. It also announced that Vielee Gaming Distributors will be their exclusive distributor for the state of Louisiana. New game line-ups have also been created for new Operator markets Louisiana and West Virginia.

G2E 2013 marks the first time Spielo will appear as a product brand under the new Gtech corporate brand. These games are only a sample of Gtech’s full complement of cabinets, games, systems, and software, including products for both land-based and iGaming operations.
