Spotlight29 Casino near Palm Springs, California, is adding a unique slot machine system created by Florida-based Banyan Gaming. The new slot—which feature a variety of interchangeable titles, including “Wheel of Wealth,” “Asian Pearls,” “Serenity” and “Thunderstruck II”—are part of a flexible distributed gaming system.
Banyan Gaming slot machines can be easily customized with a variety of games and a multi-level mystery bonus system. All are instantly programmable on eye-catching Banyan Gaming cabinets.
Rich Montigny, director of slot operations for Spotlight29 Casino, said the Banyan Gaming slot machines provide more flexibility to adapt the games to meet customer demand. “Banyan Gaming slots are the next generation of gaming machines,” said Montigny. “Our players get exciting new games, at the same time Spotlight29 Casino gains more slot machine options.”
“Jewel Fever,” Banyan Gaming’s mystery bonus system, can be set up for value-based payouts or time-based payouts, an innovation that can literally create a “slot machine happy hour” for players. Jewel Fever can be configured for multiple casinos, multiple banks in one casino, or as a stand-alone feature.
Banyan Gaming slot machines are currently operating at casinos in California, Michigan and Oklahoma, with expansion to several more states expected later this year. The 3-year-old company—founded by former executives of AC Coin & Slot Company—is the industry leader in distributed gaming technology, which involves a central system communicating with casino slot machines.
“The innovative Banyan Gaming system comes with a massive tool kit of programmable options, which gives casino operators the ability to adapt our box to the personalities of the market,” said Jason Seelig, Banyan Gaming president.
Distributed gaming technology also encourages real-time interaction and intervention with players through rich-media messaging and bonusing to the machines, Seelig noted, and it allows for instantly reprogramming a slot machine’s personality so casino operators can ensure the best configurations are available at all times, encouraging players to spend more time at the machines.
