The initial five-year contract, which also includes options for extensions, was signed last June 14.
The VLTs will be delivered and installed in 2013. This is the third generation of SPIELO VLTs in the Quebec market.
Under the terms of the contract, SPIELO will provide its value-driven prodiGi Vu VLT, a powerful, player-focused and technician-friendly cabinet that offers a superior video and audio experience, responsible gaming features, and networked gaming capability. This deployment will also mark the first Game to System (G2S) open standard protocol-based VLTs operating in the North America distributed VLT market, enabling the SLVQ to benefit from the added functionality and operational flexibility of state-of-the-art G2S-based technology.
“We are pleased to be providing a significant portion of machines to SLVQ, which operates Canada’s largest VLT network. Throughout our successful 17-year relationship, we have shared an ongoing commitment to providing high-integrity, high-quality, and top-performing products to Quebec players,” said SPIELO President and CEO Victor Duarte.
“Now, by working with SLVQ to deploy the first-ever G2S-based distributed market solution to North America, we are proud to enhance Quebec’s position as one of the most technologically advanced VLT operations,” continued Duarte.
In addition to the VLT contract, SPIELO has been awarded the VLT central monitoring system for managing SLVQ’s entire network of VLTs under a separate competitive procurement process. SPIELO will deploy its advanced, G2S-based INTELLIGEN central system, which enables remote game downloading, game switching, remote diagnostics, and Advanced Business Intelligence. INTELLIGEN will operate in conjunction with SPIELO’s G2S-based i-LINK retailer terminal.
