(Ghana).- DRGT, together with its African partner Simplicit-e Gaming Solutions, is redefining Wide-Area Progressive (WAP) technology for jackpots on slot machines. The feedback from Millionaires Gaming Africa (MG Africa) in Ghana deserves particular mention. MG Africa has recently installed satellite communications to all its sites in Ghana. The new stable communication technology now allows MG Africa to fully utilise the DRGT Wide Area technology that includes Wide Area Cashless, Wide Area Loyalty and Wide Area Progressives.

The solution allows MG Africa customers to use their Club Millionaires (Club M) casino loyalty card in any site without having to report to a reception desk. Both cashless funds and loyalty points are transferred from the players’ home site to the current site simply by inserting the card in any slot machine.
 
“A Wide Area Mystery jackpot, Millionaires Money Mania has been added to the MG Africa wide area fold, utilising one of the most advanced WAP concepts that I am aware of”, stated Charl Geyser of Simplicit-e Gaming. The solution is a Mystery Jackpot that runs on all slot machines in all 4 of MG Africa’s , Ghana sites. The difference is that the pay-out is shared. The person triggering the jackpot wins a third of the prize, the rest is shared across all other ‘active’ machines. An active machine is defined as one that has a Club M loyalty card inserted and has had a game played in the last 6 seconds.Furthermore, the shared winning value paid to each active machine is directly proportional to the value of the last bet placed by that customer.
 
Joseph Pestana, the owner of MG Africa and the initiator of this WAP configuration, sums this up, “The way we have configured this shared mystery jackpot is the perfect way for us to reward our loyal customers. Excitement grows as nobody knows when the jackpot will hit, but they know that when it is hit, they will all win as long as they are playing a machine with their Club M card inserted. The fact that the jackpot is shared between loyalty card holders has led to a wonderful acceptance of our Club M programme.”.
 
Jurgen De Munck, CEO and co-founder of DRGT: “Our WAP solutions are recognised as the market innovator in Africa. We provide flexible and secure serverless systems.  This testimonial from Millionaires Gaming Africa reflects our company philosophy – to work closely with our customers to create tailor-made solutions.  WAPs can create excitement on the casino floor when implemented properly. They can reward loyal players. We can even overcome communications problems by making use of their satellite technology. Our dedication and goal in bringing the best, most secure and most beneficial systems to the global gaming market is highlighted by this shining testimony”.
