More and more Australian gaming providers are teaming up with international operators, and the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH) has recently picked up on this trend. Recently, the ALH has teamed up with American-based Bally Technologies, which will provide the group with new gaming systems. As part of the company’s new partnership, Bally Technologies will deploy a number of applications for ALH poker machines.
This will include a voluntary pre-commitment system which will provide players with the chance to limit how much money they will spend while playing pokies. The new system will certainly be welcomed, as responsible gambling advocates across Australia believe that pre-commitment technology could certainly help to reduce problem gambling rates.
Another system that will be launched at 270 ALH venues across the country is the iVista Display Manager. This is a picture-in-picture interface that provides players with information about their experience as they play. They will be able to keep track of their own account information and they can browse the selection of games that are available on the cabinet.
“We underwent a comprehensive analysis prior to choosing Bally’s innovative systems to provide single-card access for players across our entire enterprise,” says Bruce Mathieson Jr, chief executive officer of the ALH. “After a thorough process, we determined Bally’s solutions best fit our needs by providing a world-class player experience with a focus on industry-leading responsible gambling measures”.
These new systems will certainly help to boost the profile of ALH pokie venues. Modern gaming trends see players wanting more control over their gaming experience. By offering players the ability to set their own limits and cycle between games on certain cabinets, the ALH and Bally Technologies is providing local players with a gaming experience that they will certainly enjoy.
