Evolution of slots in the near future to be analyzed at upcoming EY! 2011

In the last years, technology has transformed slots from simple reel machines to more complex and sophisticated entertainment devices. Its long-term evolution, its fast development and the strategies to keep on attracting the players’ attention will be some of the issues to be treated in this talk, in charge of experimented executives from some of the main slot manufacturers globally.

Among the questions to answer, there are the following: “Which will be the technological trends in slots in the near future?”, “Is more technology equal to more profitability for the operator?”, “Will slots become skill machines instead of games of chance machines?”, “How is the player educated considering the fast advance of technology?”, “Is the players’ age considered when developing a slot?”, “Will theme slots continue being a trend or have they concluded their cycle?” and “How will Internet affect the slot development in the future?”, among other issues.

Participants of this conference will be Sebastián Salat (WMS International - President), Harmen Brenninkmeijer (Inspired Game - Senior VP of Strategic Market Development), Derik Mooberry (Bally - Senior Vicepresident of Products and Operations), Eduardo Aching (Konami – Senior Director of International Sales) and Marcel Heutmekers (Atronic - Senior Director / General Manager Latin America and Asia), modeted by César Augusto Dechat (Trilenium Casino – Slots Manager).

It will be the first of the talks of the first day of EY!2011 Encuentro Yogonet (November 9th), which will be held from 9 a.m. in Puerto Salguero Hall, located inside Costa Salguero Convention Center.
