The ICE Totally Gaming Expo is coming up, and gaming machine manufacturers are showing off their new wares and innovations. This week, GTECH announced launch of its new JP2go, a jackpot system that will allow operators to quickly install progressive jackpots on their games. According to GTECH, JP2go is the first ‘fully-installed’ standalone jackpot package.
As such, casino operators and managers can quickly and conveniently deploy jackpots to standalone games and game banks. The system can also be used for wide-area progressive jackpot pokies that link games across several casinos. Another great aspect about the jackpot system is that it offers up a wide range of jackpots. Mystery jackpots are included, as well as wide-area jackpots and multi-level progressive jackpots.
There are plenty of options to choose from, so casino operators can customize their jackpots to suit their customer base. With JP2go, it is likely that we will see more progressive jackpot pokies on gaming floors. Since they will be easy to deploy, manage and monitor, casino operators may be more eager to offer a wide range of progressive jackpot games.
Another casino system that will be on display at ICE 2014 is SYSTEM2go, a system that helps gaming club and casino owners manage their collection of poker machines. Using remote monitoring and online accouting, casino managers can easily access information about player behaviour and tastes so that they develop marketing plans and promotions to benefit players.
The system will also use Ticket-in Ticket Out (TITO) gambling, so that players do not have to use cash when playing pokies. The Magnetic Card cashless gambling system will also be put to use. The ICE Totally Gaming conference will run from February 4 to February 6 in London, UK. GTECH is just one of dozens of gaming machine operators that will be offering up a preview of their latest innovations.
