Transact’s Epicentral Print System and gaming features to be shown at ICE 2011

Introduced at last fall’s Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, this revolutionary software system generated tremendous excitement and received an “Honorable Mention” during Global Gaming Business Technology Awards competition.

The Epicentral Print System, which connects directly to ServerPort, is an easy to use software system that enables a casino to develop the highest quality promotional coupons and deliver them directly to their customers in real-time at the slot machine. Epicentral connects to any existing slot machine regardless of the game’s manufacturer or the casino’s slot system and utilizes the existing Epic 950 printer.

Casinos that do not currently have Epic 950s in their slot machines can easily upgrade their current ticket printers to TransAct’s Epic 950 and ServerPort and then implement promotional coupons with Epicentral. Epicentral Mobile Host allows casino hosts to walk through the casino with an iPad or Smartphone and give coupons directly to players on the casino floor by connecting the smart device using wireless technology either to the Epicentral Server Manager or directly to ServerPort which is located in the slot machine.

This is an exciting new tool for the casino hosts who will enjoy the convenience of being able to service the customer by interacting with them on the casino floor. In addition to Epicentral, TransAct will feature their complete portfolio of casino/gaming printers and technology solutions including:

Epic 950 Thermal Slot Machine Printer: In addition to offering a seamless upgrade path to Epicentral and promotional coupons; this award-winning, highly reliable and robust printer offers numerous advanced features including a 400 ticket standard capacity, expandable to 600 tickets and the industry’s best low-ticket sensor saving both time and money;

ServerPort: Providing a clear upgrade path for casinos and slot machine manufacturers to promotional or coupon printing, ServerPort easily upgrades existing Epic 950 printers with an array of capabilities including the ability to connect to Epicentral and print promotional offers or coupons at the slot machine;
