Diversified gaming supplier GTECH announced that its “Sphinx 3D” video slot, with True 3D technology that was the hit of last year’s G2E show, has been officially launched in New Jersey at the Atlantic City Tropicana, and in casinos across Europe.
“Tropicana is dedicated to giving customers more variety, and Sphinx 3D is a perfect example of how we do just that,” said Steve Callender, general manager of the Tropicana. “The groundbreaking slot technology brings gaming to a whole new level, and we are proud to be the first to debut this innovation in Atlantic City.”
The company also announced that the game is now live on casino floors throughout Europe. It made its European debut throughout Germany with installations at all nine of the Spielbanken Bayern properties in Bavaria. Casinos in Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia have also implemented the game, with more European countries to soon follow.
“The preliminary feedback we have received from players at promotional events where Sphinx 3D is live has been extremely positive,” said GTECH International Vice President of Commercial Gaming Marcel Heutmekers. “Players are enjoying the 3D effects, as they enhance the typical gaming experience and add an extra level of excitement. We are looking forward to installing these machines in more casinos around the world in the months to come.”
The SPHINX 3D game is the first of its kind to use a glasses-free 3D display, and the first game released as part of GTECH’s True 3D line. It pairs autostereoscopic technology with eye-tracking that constantly adjusts the image based on the player’s line of sight. This generates a high-resolution image that leaps off the screen, creating an experience unlike any other game on the market.
