Tell us about the products you brought to the 2016 G2E in Las Vegas. Especially, about the international debut of TCS John Huxley's Qorex.

We also launched Qorex - our innovative new Electronic Gaming Terminal (EGT) powered by the GFL platform.

We have a long history and a lot of experience with terminal hybrid games and wanted to offer a product designed and developed in-house. What we’ve achieved with the Qorex Terminal is a stunning looking product that will compliment any gaming floor whilst delivering all the benefits of electronic gaming, plus the unique power of the GFL platform.
How did G2E's audience react to TCS John Huxley's lineup?
Customer reaction to the new products exceeded expectations. We displayed a variety of Qorex configurations and devices at G2E, that demonstrated to operators the flexibility and unlimited electronic gaming solutions we offer. All combine the experience of live table gaming while delivering the benefits of electronic gaming, with more customizable game content to drive revenue and increase levels of security.
Our past knowledge and experience of installing literally thousands of EGT’s across the globe, along with operator feedback and collaboration, assisted in the development of the new Qorex terminal. Ergonomically designed for optimum comfort and playing position, incorporating a 27” widescreen display that provides stunning high definition graphics, all Qorex products benefit from the same intuitive user interface. This keeps navigation simple, enabling ease of play from game to game and most importantly transitions players effortlessly from terminals to tablets.

New players are not intimidated to ‘try’ the game and high rollers are able to bet discretely. By linking just one live dealer or roulette wheel, it is possible for scores of people to play a live roulette game simultaneously allowing operators to optimise their gaming floors thus reducing labour costs, provide straightforward maintenance and virtually uninterrupted 24-hour operation.
With chip handling, calculation of winnings and payout functions fully automated by the system, the EGT delivers total game security, reduces costs and substantially increasing games played per hour.
Add to this, the benefits of linking to the Gaming Floor Live platform that provides customized game content, game statistics and fixed reporting, and it becomes easy to understand their appeal.
