How was this year for the company in each of the markets you operate in? What were the main difficulties you had to face? What business
opportunities could you take advantage of?
This year we have challenged ourselves to be more creative with the same respect and obsession for quality; we have taken the responsibility to
transfer the axiom of Win-Win, this double valence of the word Win, into everything we create. So we came, for the sixth time, with what we call
Dracula’s Games, which has become the multigame synonym for quality, creativity and success.A product which is 100% Romanian rose with patience and respect for quality, out of responsibility to create better, superior products that are always winners. A product born and raised in Transylvania.
Which of your core products was your, what was the greatest innovation for 2013?
This year we have launched version number six of our Multigame Dracula's Game, including 3 new games: Red Dragon, Jewels and Aztecs.
Red Dragon is a game with great graphics which distinguishes itself from other games we have developed so far with another way of checking the lines, respectively the paths on which the winning combinations are formed, which we’ve called Super 243 Ways.When the player wins Free Games, he may choose the number of games he wishes to play. The player can choose the volatility and also in the same time he can be surprised by a significant win offered by Turtle Bonus”.
Aztecs is a game with 5 reels and 40 symbols on the reel. It stands out through the chosen theme and symbols but more important, through the fact that it offers to the players substantial winnings and a lot of adrenalin.
The main attraction of the game is “Lucky Win”, i.e. when all 20 positions on the 5 reels show the Wild symbol. The prize in this case is the stake betted on the line multiplied by 80,000 times, if all 40 lines are selected.
Jewels is a classic game, with 5 reels and 10 lines and 3 symbols on the reel. The novelty of this game lies in the fact that the winning combinations are formed from left to right, from right to left, and also on the rolls in the middle. “Lucky Win” award is available here also, for all the symbols except the Scatter.
What are the most important agreements you've closed?
In February we started the year with the satisfaction of finding the appreciation in the United Kingdom, which has already established itself as one of the best, maybe even the most important exhibition of the industry of gaming on international level, the London ICE Totally Gaming 2013.
2013 brought us the enthusiasm and appreciation of South America at one of the most important events of the gaming industry, in April at FADJA 2013, in Bogota, Colombia, followed by SAGSE Buenos Aires, Argentina in November. We were greeted with the enthusiasm and curiosity of trying for the first time a Romanian brand, and what followed was enthusiasm and appreciation for the qualities of our products.
Legendary Distributions, the subsidiary of Legendary Gaming Group, becoming our exclusive distributor for Latin America and the Caribbean, is a moment that we are proud of and very important step in building a successful future for Baum Games.
What are the expectations for 2014? What are your next goals as a company?
We will continue to build quality, to challenge creativity, to ensure success. In February 2014, at ICE Totally Gaming, we are planning to make London vibrate Romanian!
In order to confer essence and substance to the values that constitute the quality base of the Baum Games products, a piece of Romania moves into the Baum Games Stand in London, colored with Romanian landscapes, fragrant with the aroma and bouquet of Romanian wines and accompanied by the Talent and Undeniable value of Gheorghe Zamfir’s music, an Ambassador of the Romanian values, indisputable signatory of the European and international cultural and musical chart.
