Why is the Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE) an important part of The Banktech Group’s calendar?
The Banktech Group (Banktech) is a leading payments and services provider to the hospitality industry and supplies a range of products including the CashConnect ATM Network, POSConnect EFTPOS, Cash Redemption Terminals (CRT) and a range Intelligent Safes, to clients in Australia, South East Asia and India.
In 2014 Banktech established Utopia Gaming Systems to better cross sell its products and services in Queensland. Since becoming a Licensed Monitoring Operator (LMO) in Queensland - the first LMO in the state in more than 15 years - Utopia has applied and received gaming licences in NSW, Victoria and ACT and has licences pending in other states.
The AGE provides the opportunity for us to showcase our range of products and services to customers across Australasia.
Banktech recently expanded its product offering, can you tell us a little more about that?
Banktech Group diversified its product offering with the acquisition of Global Gaming Industries, a leading gaming systems provider. Global Gaming will continue to operate as an independent branded division of Utopia Gaming Systems. Having Banktech’s financial strength will enable Global Gaming to further invest in research and development, as well as deliver an innovative and expanded range of products to it’s customers and their patrons.
Global Gaming Industries has been operating for more than 25 years. It is the dominant gaming, analytical and loyalty system provider amongst the NSW hotel and small club market and has begun expanding its footprint in other states and territories.
What products will you be presenting at the upcoming AGE?
We are looking forward to showcasing our new Slimline Cash Redemption Terminal that has high capacity coin and notes as well as range of other unique features and benefits. Our new unattended remote POSConnect EFTPOS terminals will also be on display - allows for POSConnect to be installed in a location accessible to patrons so cardholders can process eftpos cash-out transactions with minimal staff interaction. Staff members press a button on the remote to unlock POSConnect for a transaction. Cardholder then completes the transaction by selecting the cash-out amount on the PC then completes the transaction on the PINpad. Cash is automatically dispensed to the cardholder
