“It is the first time we have hosted a stand directly at SAGSE Buenos Aires”

What are your expectations for SAGSE Buenos Aires?
SAGSE is an excellent opportunity for Shuffle Master to increase awareness of its products with Latin America operators, and we are excited for this year’s event because it is the first time we have hosted a stand directly.

What will you be presenting?
At this year’s SAGSE exhibition, Shuffle Master will exhibit a variety of products selected specifically for their relevance to the Latin America gaming market. Exhibitions will be available at stand 415.

Of particular interest is the company’s i-Table, a hybrid e-Table product that combines an intuitive electronic betting interface with a live dealer who deals the selected game from the appropriate card reading device. By automating the betting process, the i-Table increases game security, accuracy and speed, resulting in an estimated 30% increase in rounds per hour while eliminating errors. 

Additionally, the i-Table enhances game security by eliminating dealer errors in game transactions while reducing chip theft, bet capping and pinching and eliminating card manipulation cheating. Two versions of the i-Table will be displayed: a blackjack version that uses a card reading show and a specialty table game version that uses the i-Deal single deck shuffler.

As part of our i-Table pit, we will also offer Ultimate Texas Hold’em Progressive, a popular spin-off of live-stakes poker that gives players the ability to play head-to-head against the dealer and against a bonus paytable that pays odds on hands containing three-of-a-kind or higher. And, we will display Royal Match 21 Progressive, a progressive side bet for blackjack that rewards players with 100% of the progressive jackpot and 1,000 to 1 when they and the dealer both receive a suited blackjack hand.

The company will also exhibit its two fully-electronic table game platforms Table Master and Vegas Star. With five player stations and a variety of available games, Table Master is a great way for operators to offer popular games like Blackjack and Three Card Poker in a stand-alone, completely secure environment. As our second entirely electronic platform, Vegas Star gives operators the ability to install games like roulette, baccarat and craps in a scalable environment with as many as 100 player terminals supported for each game outcome.

At SAGSE, we will be displaying Star Craps, a fully-electronic craps game that allows players to use their touch screen terminals to “throw” the dice and make every wager available on a live craps table.

Shuffle Master will also exhibit several of its popular Stargames electronic gaming machine video slot titles, including the Jesters Reward and Gold Central progressive links as well as multiple stand-alone games including i-Ching, an Asian themed game and Texas Star, a new western-themed game.
