TransAct to Demonstrate How Casino Operators Can Get an Edge at the 2018 Global Gaming Expo
TransAct Technologies (News - Alert) Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT) ("TransAct" or "the
Company"), a global leader in software-driven technology and printer
solutions for high-growth markets, announced today that it will
demonstrate for attendees at the 18th Annual Global Gaming
Expo ("G2E 2018") how its ground-breaking Epic Edge ticket-in/ticket-out
("TITO") printer provides an edge over the competition when it comes to
creating razor sharp barcodes and eye-catching graphics on printed
tickets across their gaming floors. TransAct's display (Booth #2423) at
G2E 2018, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 9-11, 2018 at the
Sands Expo and Convention Center, will also highlight the Company's full
lineup of casino, gaming and lottery printers and software solutions,
including the latest editions of its innovative Epicentral
software-driven bonusing solution and its TITO and roll-fed printers for
casino, gaming and lottery applications.
"TransAct has long offered print and bonusing solutions that allow
casino, gaming and lottery operators to get an edge over their
competition. With our Epic Edge, we are bringing to gaming floors
worldwide new technology that takes printer capabilities to the next
level," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
TransAct Technologies. "At the 2018 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, we
will be asking attendees a simple question: why buy old print technology
when you can add the best-in-class Epic Edge to your gaming floor? Our
team of sales professionals will demonstrate what 300 dpi print quality
can do for printed tickets and how the razor sharp barcodes and graphics
on those printed tickets can dramatically improve gaming floor
operations. The Epic Edge is the embodiment of our continued commitment
to remain a partner of choice thanks to our unmatched customer service
and customer-centric innovation which allows TransAct's solutions to
meet customer performance and efficiency needs while creating a gaming
floor experience that keeps players coming back for more."
Epic Edge: The New Leader in Ticket-In/Ticket-Out
As casino entertainment preferences evolve, operators continue to seek
out products and solutions that allow them to provide players with
unmatched experiences while ensuring their gaming floors run at peak
efficiency. The next-generation Epic Edge is the choice in TITO printing
for global casino operators, designed for easy implementation across all
gaming floors. Currently being installed and approved by the leading
gaming device OEMs, operators selecting the Epic Edge will benefit from
a number of significant technology enhancements led by its 300 dpi print
resolution. Representing a 50 percent improvement over current industry
offerings, this unmatched new standard in print resolution easily
delivers sharper barcodes for better ticket acceptance which will drive
a real reduction in attendant calls and a tangible improvement in floor
performance. The Epic Edge's 300 dpi print resolution will also create
eye-catching, dynamic graphic images on printed tickets, making it ideal
for implementation alongside bonusing applications such as TransAct's
Epicentral. Additionally, the Epic Edge allows for firmware updates via
a full speed USB 2.0 connection or directly via a micro SD card, driving
increased convenience and making the process of updating firmware
speedier than ever. Other features of the Epic Edge include a single
rugged outer chassis with color coded rails, numerous port options
(Serial, USB and Netplex), hot swap capability to eliminate game
downtime and a faster ServerPort™ connection. Operators will also
benefit from its adjustable ticket bucket which can accommodate standard
and smaller, paper-saving tickets.
Epicentral Delivers Casino Revenue Growth
TransAct will again demonstrate at G2E 2018 how Epcentral is
"Delivering Casino Revenue Growth" for operators of all sizes, offering
proven performance for more than six years in creating unmatched
in-casino promotions and bonus offerings. Epicentral and the Epicentral
Systems Edition ("Epicentral SE") return to the G2E 2018 show floor
where TransAct will work with show attendees to easily bridge the gap
between the slot machine and the reward of a printed ticket thanks to
the software suite's unmatched capabilities. Since its introduction,
Epicentral has proven that printed tickets drive increased game play,
time on device and player loyalty and TransAct will highlight how this
performance makes Epicentral a natural choice for operators as they
implement printed ticket bonuses on their gaming floors.
Epicentral v3.9 offers a wide variety of powerful features that build on
Epicentral's long-term track record of driving increased time on device
and revenue. These include the ability to run multiple promotions at the
same time, create games within games, run different promotions on
different slot game banks, segment players by tier, promote to different
levels of uncarded players and leverage its real-time capabilities to
improve operator decision making through detailed activity reports.
Epicentral v3.9 also improves the player experience by allowing for the
redemption, printing and re-printing of bonuses at multiple locations.
For operators looking to leverage their existing systems while expanding
their bonusing capabilities, Epicentral SE can easily turn current
promotional offerings into printed coupons by leveraging Epicentral's
Print Manager and Design Center modules. TransAct will provide a live
demonstration of how Epicentral SE can print and deliver free play
vouchers directly to players which they can then redeem at the slot
machine while still playing. Importantly, TransAct will also work with
customers who choose Epicentral SE while eyeing a future upgrade to
Epicentral should they desire a step up to a full-featured in-casino
bonus environment.
Epic: The Trusted Name in Printing
TransAct's best-in-class Epic TITO printers serve as a critical
connection between the gaming device and player, representing a key
component in the best performing gaming floors worldwide. At the same
time, the Company's Epic roll-fed printers have been a constant in
casino, gaming and lottery operations for more than 20 years, delivering
industry-leading dependability and unmatched reliability across a wide
array of applications. TransAct will bring to G2E 2018 a full
demonstration of both its Epic TITO and Epic roll-fed printers, which
deliver unmatched print performance for slot machines, gaming devices
(amusement with prize, skill with prize and video lottery terminals),
customer service solutions (kiosks and other terminals) and lottery
systems deployed around the world.
