APEX gaming expanded its product offer at ICE

Apex gaming entered the sector of live and automatic table gaming with its Quikker game several years ago. This game is unique to Apex with players betting on the outcome of two cards, a combination of black jack and roulette, so –to speak. Operators have often stated how much they like Quikker but that they need to offer roulette as well. At this year’s ICE, not only can customers obtain complete table solutions from Apex with Quikker and roulette integrated, they can offer their players Baccarat and Sic-Bo as well.

This new Apex Player Station can accommodate as many terminals as required – so it can grow with customer demand. This future-proof innovation offers the ability to link up to four roulette wheels – both live and automatic. Players can choose any combination of these roulette wheels at one time to play on. The roulette games can even be linked with the APEX Pinnacle gaming machines, – giving players further choice and operators more potential revenue streams.

Under the motto, ‘Wherever you go’, Apex gaming introduced the Apex Mobile Slots at ICE. Now players can decide themselves where to play. Tablet gaming in casinos has now become reality. Casino operators can now offer their guests the possibility to play Apex games for money anywhere within their premises, such as in the hotel room, in the bar, the spa or even on the resort beach. The advantages of pure server-based gaming are: real-time results, absolute control and resistance against any possible manipulation.

The RFID technology allows players to simply enter credit on the tablet or ask the gaming staff to pay out winnings as well. The brand new adaption of the iDROP acts as a redemption terminal, allowing players to transfer their credit to be paid out in the form of a barcode ticket – ready to play on the land-based slots in the casino. Similarly, players can add credit to their tablet by using this iDROP redemption terminal.

The original iDROP itself was on display. This product allows dealers to securely store banknotes. Up to thirty notes at one time can be entered into the iDrop for them to be validated and stored. The iDROP can be linked with all SAS variants – the casino management now has the ability to receive immediate information on the banknotes stored at each individual live table. The other main table game periphery – the Shuffle King II – continues to gain ground in electronic card shuffling, especially since it is so quick at shuffling a full deck of cards (just over thirty seconds). The shuffle time can even be effectively reduced to zero when working with two separate decks of cards.

Johannes Weissengruber, founder and CEO of Apex gaming, said: “Our Pinnacle cabinets and games have been the cornerstone of our success. Receiving the ‘Golden Dice’ is truly a recognition of this. Now with the Apex Mobile Slots and Apex Player Station, we cover all segments of gaming. This was recognized by our visitors to whom I send my thanks for coming to see us”.
