Gasser Chair Company introduces two seating innovations for the gaming industry

Halo Base

Featuring a stamped steel base encased in a special coating, the Halo Base adds improved functionality to the popular disc base design used in many casinos. Because of its unique design and powder coating process, it significantly reduces the force required to move a gaming stool on carpeted flooring. Therefore, a heavy stool that is typically awkward and difficult for a player to move can now be moved with ease. And, as an added benefit for the casino, the Halo Base design reduces abrasive wear and tear on carpeted floors that a traditional disc base creates.

Most people will instinctively grab a gaming stool at the top of the backrest to move it. But, due to the physical geometry of a stool, it will tend to tip over before moving.  The Halo Base coordinates the tipping motion with the forces applied to move a stool by allowing the stool to tip slightly while sliding without tipping over.  This is accomplished via the curved edge being turned upward, away from the floor, so that the edge of the base does not catch on the carpet, thereby reducing the probability of tipping over.

The Halo Base has been extensively tested and successfully installed in several casinos, most recently at the Ameristar Casino in Kansas City.  With its unique design and special coating process, the Halo Base looks to revolutionize the design of gaming stools.

Prelude Slim-Line Stool

The new Prelude Slim-Line Stool combines classic design and modern performance, all at a lower price point than traditional gaming stools. The sleeker, more compact, low profile edge is perfect for venues with smaller footprints or spatial constraints, providing maximum seating possibilities. Its flex-back technology, powder coat finish, protective edging, extended footrests, and ergonomically molded back and seat cushions work together to supply maximum comfort at a minimum price.
