“At Interblock, we believe the forecast for the year ahead is very optimistic”

How have operators responded to your G5 HD generation of gaming products and to the presentation of your Hologram Gaming Lounge (IBHGL)?
Customers at ICE 2014 London were very excited by the exceptional presentation of our latest, newest and most innovative G5 HD generation of gaming products. After we presented the G5 HD product range at G2E 2013 Las Vegas in September behind VIP doors, products were already getting much positive feedback from our loyal customers and the products were already a huge success, particularly the G5 HD Mini Star Roulette, which is built to accommodate any casino floor size in a much smaller footprint. Customers also showed interest in many new features like additional Side Bets, faster result detection, wider and bigger screen size with high definition monitors and of course our main advantage, modularity. We believe the forecast for the year ahead is very positive and we believe we can make a huge success once again.


What is the market like for your IBHGL within Europe?
Interblock Hologram Gaming Lounge (IBHGL) is a spectacular eGaming solution, incorporating Interblock gaming devices and a high definition holographic video projection system. We believe our customers recognized the main advantage of this first gaming platform in an eye-catching set up, which combines gaming, entertainment and advertising into a single gaming experience. This year we also presented a step forward to this technology, the scaled down version of award-winning IBHGL, so called G5 HD IBHG (Interblock Hologram Games), which is a stand-alone gaming product allowing up to 5 G5 HD Play Stations to be connected and offers exciting gaming solutions for Video Blackjack and Baccarat games. We are very proud to announce the first big project of IBHGL in the States, which will be available probably some time in March, 2014 and hopefully interest will follow also in Europe.

What kind of operators did you expect to attract at ICE? Did you succeed?
At ICE we always meet our long-term partners from Europe, but we think this is a very important international exhibition, where customers from all over the world come to see the very best presentations. We believe we added some of the biggest names in the EU casino industry to our customer list, which gives us several important leads for the year ahead.
 
What are the main challenges for Interblock from now on?
Our goals are to continue to strengthen our position in all markets, release great products that the players love, provide the best service support and customer relations and build on the great momentum that we saw in 2013. Keeping pace with new technology, which is always on the horizon and is constantly adding new dimensions to our games, will also remain our key goal in the 2014.
