London-based table-game supplier TCSJohnHuxley announced that the Tropicana has become the first Las Vegas casino to place the supplier’s unique LED-lit Saturn Glo roulette wheels and Blaze Roulette tables.
First unveiled at last year’s Global Gaming Expo, the Saturn Glo incorporates the same cutting-edge features as the acclaimed Saturn roulette wheel, but with the addition of LED technology providing in-rim lighting color changes according to what’s happening in the game. Designed to literally “light up” the game, Saturn Glo can be programmed to indicate game status, and features an exciting array of attract modes in a variety of colors.
John Fort, vice president of table games for Tropicana Las Vegas, placed the Saturn Glo wheels center-stage on the main gaming floor. “We were really excited to be the first property in Las Vegas to install the Saturn Glo wheel,” he said. “These eye-catching additions have proved to be very popular with players and staff alike. We’re delighted with them—they’re great and everybody loves them.”
The Plaza Hotel and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas also chose Saturn Glo wheels, and became the first in town to combine them with Blaze Roulette tables, TCSJohnHuxley’s unique tables using patented Blaze LED surface technology.
Using energy-efficient LED lights that are fitted below the surface of the gaming table, Blaze displays unique “attract sequences” and custom-themed animations, while also highlighting winning numbers. When combined with the Saturn Glo wheel, players have even greater visibility to see each stage of the game with text prompts on the layout such as “Place your Bets,” “Finish Betting” and “No More Bets” that are also highlighted on the game grid with the same color changes shown on the wheel.
LaTicia Carter, ambassador training manager for the Plaza, commented, “We are delighted with the visual impact that the Saturn Glo wheels and Roulette Blaze tables have made to the gaming floor. Players are immediately attracted to the LED lights and color-changing sequences, and love how easy it is to see every stage of the game.”
