London-based table-game supplier TCSJohnHuxley announced that it will focus on its “Gaming Floor Live” (GFL) platform as a highlight of an extensive product lineup for display at February’s ICE Totally Gaming trade show at London’s ExCel Centre.
“The last 12 months have been concentrated on innovation,” said TCSJohnHuxley Executive Chairman Tristan Sjöberg. “We have been very focused on expanding our GFL suite, constantly innovating and adding products to the range—not just new offerings, but also developing and evolving existing key products so that they are enabled to integrate with the GFL platform.”
Taking center stage at ICE will be the GFL Gaming suite of products. This GFL module features fixed or portable touchscreen solutions, which enable customers to play live casino tables from any licensed area in the casino. At the touch of the screen, players can select from various live tables, swapping between roulette, baccarat and sic bo, all with the same intuitive user interface; this eases navigation and enables ease of play from game to game.
Visitors to the show will see an assortment of GFL Gaming configurations designed to cater to every casino and player’s need. “Interactivity is extremely important and key to the player experience” said Sjöberg, “which is why TCSJohnHuxley will showcase a range of unique touchscreen gaming configurations, ensuring appeal for all ages and demographics. This variety of setup options will illustrate how flexible the system is while it continues to deliver essential requirements, such as security and real-time reporting.”
GFL Bonsuing, the floor-wide mystery and event-based progressive and jackpot system, will feature a range of games at ICE. Power 8’s is a progressive side bet for baccarat, Big Bang Blackjack is a new progressive bet which gives players a chance to win one of three incremental jackpots, and Casino Hold ‘Em Plus is a fast and simple spinoff of poker.
Each of these games benefit from GFL Bonusing’s unique animated bet sensors and multi-level progressive pools by increasing player appeal and participation. The GFL Bonusing module also provides casinos with real-time reporting and game control, allowing operators to monitor game play and adjust the game configuration as necessary to increase its revenue-earning potential (subject to local regulations).
The GFL Media Module, which includes Blaze LED surface technology, will showcase a range of new features. Innovations include customized game prompts and animations that can be themed or branded. Debuting at ICE will be the new Pinball Money Wheel, which features stunning audio and graphics to mirror a retro pinball machine. According to the company, this theme is currently very popular with younger players and is experiencing a huge resurgence in Asia.
Although the emphasis has been on developing and launching the Gaming Floor Live platform and its modules, the focus has not diverted from the existing product range. To illustrate this, the full TCSJohnHuxley product portfolio will be showcased at ICE, demonstrating how the products are technology-enabled to connect to, and benefit from, the new platform.
