"Being the premier trade show in South
America, SAGSE is a great opportunity for us to showcase our
wide range of products to this fast-evolving market," said
Gavin Isaacs, Chief Executive
Officer of SHFL. "Following several initiatives to grow our
presence in this region, including our recent engagement of two
renowned industry standouts Juan Pablo Irarrazaval and Alejo Mautone, we are demonstrating our high
level of commitment and dedication to customers in this key
market."
The Company will feature innovations in four of its product
categories - utilities, proprietary table games, electronic table
systems, and slot machines, while demonstrating how SHFL
offers…
…Better Solutions for Increasing Security, Speed, and
Productivity
The MD3 card shuffler will be featured at the show
and is designed to increase speed and security at blackjack and
baccarat tables, while reducing downtime and maintenance. This
multi-deck shuffler can shuffle eight decks of cards in seven
minutes, while verifying the correct number and composition of the
cards. A flush-mount design allows for better sight-lines for
supervisors and surveillance, and an on-board ticket printer
provides a receipt for documentation of shuffling and card
verification. Using optical card recognition, the
MD3 verifies a shoe of pre-shuffled cards in less
than two minutes and works with all card types. Its improved
platform and gripper system reduces wear and tear on cards, which
leads to longer card life.
Other utility offerings highlighted at the show include the
DeckMate poker room shuffler, which has been a staple
in the poker market for over 10 years; the one2six
multi-deck and single-deck continuous shuffler; the
iDeal shuffler for single-deck specialty games; the
i-Shoe Auto optical card-reading shoe for baccarat
and blackjack; and the Easy Chipper D
chip sorter.
…Better Entertainment for the Pit
The Company will feature progressive versions of two of its
popular specialty table games: Three Card Poker and
Mississippi Stud. Chip sensors embedded in the table
allow players to place an optional jackpot wager to potentially win
fixed prizes or a continuously incrementing progressive jackpot.
Last year, SHFL introduced an inter-casino linked progressive
feature that enables operators to link progressive tables across a
number of properties. Additionally, progressive tables within a
single property can be linked wirelessly.
…Better Efficiency through Electronic Wagering
The i-Table Roulette will be prominently displayed
at SAGSE, highlighting all the added functionality and benefits of
electronic wagering while maintaining an identical footprint to a
traditional roulette table. Featuring a live wheel, ball and
dealer, the i-Table Roulette's graphically-enhanced
central display screen replicates a felt layout, and virtual
betting stations resolve all bets accurately and
instantaneously. Spins per hour significantly increase, errors
are virtually eliminated, and table productivity more than doubles.
Additional language options are now available on the
i-Table platform to better serve a variety of
markets. The i-Table Roulette's stunning
graphics, intuitive interface and inherent game-integrity enhance
the experience for both the player and the dealer.
…Better and Broader Slot Content
With over 30 titles on display this year, SHFL's slot machine
lineup will showcase the Company's deep portfolio of content and
highlight its growing success in creating content to suit the
diverse needs of the international marketplace.
Adding to the appeal of the highly acclaimed
Equinox cabinet, the 32-inch LCD Super Top
Box add-on will be front and center, and includes four
interactive multi-feature games that are triggered randomly.
SHFL's slot machine lineup will also feature Texas Star,
Lakota, Arctic Quest, Lucky Panda, Cats, Hats & Bats, Money
Buzz, OINK, Chomp!, Hubble, Bubble & Trubble, and many
more of the Company's popular titles. All of the titles offer
unique features like new mathematical models, new jackpot triggers,
and new themes.
