The newly installed cabinets are completed with the latest game releases from Casino Technology, including different versions of the most successful multigame range Gamopolis, and the recently launched on the local market game suite Motormania.
 
A new installation has been taking place at one of the best casinos in Lima Los Olivos, where after the successful operation of Gemini, the managers also chose the latest Casino Technology cabinet line Tangra Touch, completed with the games from Motormania suite.

What was the most innovative product or service launched this year by your company?
This is our server based solution – Server Games Technology, which came as a natural development of the interactive technology and  the new trends in the industry with constantly increased demands for faster, multi channel and more flexible ways of betting. We embarked a completely separate approach in the development of our platform that offers unique multichannel solution to operators trough our convergency SGT platform with great flexibility and open for third party content.

The Server Games Technology (SGT) is designed to provide functional integration among all known gaming platforms, including land based, server based, VLT, mobile and online. It is a unique solution because it enables the terminal device, which is 100 per cent compatible with classic slot machines, to offer games and gaming content not only from Casino Technology’s library, but also from other manufacturers, which increases considerably the amount of available titles in the casino. The library of games is constantly extended with more new titles from Casino Technology and third party vendors, which will give the operators great variety.
