The company’s display (Booth 470), in conjunction with its distribution partner Suzo-Happ, will include a full lineup of Epic casino, gaming and lottery ticket printers, led by the new Epic Edge, as well as the latest versions of the Epicentral promotion and bonusing system, including version 3.8 and Epicentral System Edition (Epicentral SE).
Bart C. Shuldman, chairman and chief executive officer of TransAct Technologies, commented, “The printed coupon is a proven, effective way to drive casino play and grow revenue. We believe that our leading print and technology solutions, including our all-new Epic Edge gaming device printer and industry-unique Epicentral promotion and bonusing system, are uniquely positioned to help operators capitalize on this key opportunity. In particular, our entire team is eager to demonstrate at AGE 2017 the ability of our solutions to easily deliver valuable printed coupons directly to players at the slot machine or electronic table game of their choice.”
The next-generation Epic Edge builds on the performance of TransAct’s industry-leading Epic 950 to bring a host of technological advances to the casino floor. The Epic Edge is the first ticket-in/ticket out printer to offer 300 dpi print resolution, a 50 percent improvement over current printers, and delivers sharp barcodes, improves bill validator acceptance and reduces attendant calls. Improved print resolution also allows for more attractive coupon
Epicentral is the industry’s only enterprise-level promotion and bonusing software suite, allowing casino operators to deliver targeted promotions to customers in real time directly at the slot machine and electronic table game.
Epicentral v3.8 allows operators to run multiple simultaneous promotions, create games within games, offer multi-user/multi-site promotions, run different promotions on different slot game banks, segment players by tier and promote to different levels of uncarded players. It also features the ability to redeem, print or reprint bonuses at multiple locations, an enhanced user interface and new reporting options.
Epicentral SE is a unique systems version of Epicentral. Epicentral System Edition allows operators to use the existing bonusing capabilities of their slot management systems to offer bonuses to players as a printed coupon by leveraging Epicentral’s Print Manager and Design Center modules.
