Electronic table game (ETG) market leader Interblock has announced plans to exhibit new and existing products at the Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE) at the ICC Sydney in Darling Harbour this week, on stand 450.
“Responding to ETGs’ popularity in Australia, Interblock created a unique stand-alone product, giving all types of operators an exciting new way to attract players and generate more income,” said John Connelly, Interblock global CEO. “We look forward to sharing our latest innovations with this market.”
At the Australasian Gaming Expo, Interblock will introduce a new segment of the gaming floor and exhibit its industry-leading collection of Diamond and MiniStar products, including:
• The new Roulette Diamond Station
• Interblock eTable with Baccarat
• Multi-Game Video
• MiniStar Roulette
The Roulette Diamond Station allows operators to offer the roulette game in a fast-paced, stand-alone format. It has the same footprint as a traditional slot machine, fitting perfectly into physically smaller venues, and game cycles can be as fast as a standard spin cycle on poker machines. Game play is similar to a slot machine, meaning the player simply presses a button to shoot the ball to initiate the game. Players can place bets on a standard single-zero roulette or a double-zero roulette layout, and hit the bash button to spin the ball and start the game.
The Roulette Diamond Station is configurable for up to a $10 max bet and offers Simultaneous Bet Prevention Technology, standard roulette trends and history, and a racetrack view for section bets on single-zero games.
The company’s new eTable, which appeared for the first time at G2E Asia, is offered with baccarat in a five-seat configuration. It allows operators to simply press a button to change the game to play as a standard video game or with a live dealer. The eTable gives operators the flexibility to generate revenue with or without a dealer, depending on needs and preferences throughout the week or time of day. The eTable can also support blackjack games and Interblock side bets.
The Multi-Game Video product, a Diamond product, will be launched at the AGE show as well. It delivers an entertaining video experience for roulette, baccarat and blackjack, and has the ability to connect to any Interblock Diamond automated generator. With compelling audio and visual effects, side bets, and themed virtual dealers that interact directly with players, the Diamond product line gives ultimate flexibility to operators and draws the attention of any player to any gaming establishment. Any desired number of play stations can be connected to a single unit. Play stations are equipped with wider touch screens, faster game generators, and cutting-edge games that deliver an impressive player experience.
Finally, the MiniStar, Interblock’s No. 1 roulette product, will also be on Interblock’s stand. The MiniStar’s automated roulette generator delivers more than 120 results per hour, which means more betting revenue for the house. MiniStar Roulette is available with six, eight or 10 seats in a single- or double-zero roulette wheel, and offers settable minimum and maximum limits and settable time limits for player decisions.
