“FADJA is a great opportunity for us to show the Colombian gaming community how our state-of-the-art gaming solutions can provide the necessary efficiency and security for today’s casino floors, while also providing players with exciting gaming experiences,” said Deron Hunsberger, SHFL’s Senior Vice President of Sales. “We believe Colombia, and South America as a whole, are fast-evolving gaming markets with increasingly sophisticated players and operators demanding more diverse and compelling gaming content. With the depth and breadth of our product portfolio, SHFL is very well positioned to meet those demands.”
The MD3 card shuffler will be featured at the show and is designed to increase speed and security at blackjack and baccarat tables, while reducing downtime and maintenance. This multi-deck shuffler can shuffle eight decks of cards in seven minutes, while verifying the correct number and composition of the cards. A flushmount design allows for better sight-lines for supervisors and surveillance, and an onboard ticket printer provides a receipt for documentation of shuffling and card verification. Using optical card recognition, the MD3 verifies a shoe of pre-shuffled cards in less than two minutes and works with all card types. Its improved platform and gripper system reduces wear and tear on cards, which leads to longer card life. Other utility offerings highlighted at the show include the one2six single and multideck continuous shuffler; the DeckMate poker room shuffler; and the Easy Chipper D chip sorter.
i-Table Roulette will be prominently displayed at FADJA, highlighting all the added functionality and benefits of electronic wagering, while maintaining an identical footprint to a traditional roulette table. Featuring a live wheel, ball and dealer, the i-Table Roulette’s graphically-enhanced central display screen replicates a felt layout, and virtual betting stations resolve all bets accurately and instantaneously. Spins per hour significantly increase, errors are virtually eliminated, and table productivity more than doubles. Spanish language is now an available option on the i-Table platform to better serve the Latin American and European markets.
SHFL will have 11 slot titles on display this year, further showcasing its deep portfolio of content and highlighting its growing success in the international marketplace.

All of the titles will be offered on the acclaimed Equinox cabinet and incorporate unique features like new mathematical models, new jackpot triggers and new themes.
