“As a long-term supporter of the casino gaming and lottery industry in Macau, TransAct is delighted to reaffirm our commitment to the market’s world-class operators by demonstrating our unrivaled technology and print solutions at the 2017 Macau Gaming Show,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies.

Customers visiting our booth will see TransAct’s two unique versions of Epicentral which are ‘Delivering Casino Revenue Growth’ worldwide along with our proven lineup of Epic gaming device printers. The entire TransAct team is excited to work with our customers at the show to deliver our unmatched customer service and demonstrate the fruits of our continued innovation.”

Epicentral is the gaming industry’s only solution that is ‘Delivering Casino Revenue Growth’ by providing operators with the capability to target and provide printed bonuses in real-time. TransAct will highlight its two unique configurations of this unmatched software-driven offering – Epicentral v3.8 and Epicentral SE – at the 2017 Macau Gaming Show and demonstrate to customers of all sizes how they can easily realize the benefits of increased customer visitation and play.

Epicentral v3.8 – This new version builds on Epicentral’s proven track record of driving increased time on device and increased revenue for the casino operator by offering users a host of new capabilities and features, including the ability to run multiple promotions at the same time, create games within games, offer multi-user/multi-site promotions, 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. Furthermore, by allowing for the redemption, printing and re-printing of bonuses at multiple locations, Epicentral v3.8 dramatically improves the overall player experience.

Epicentral SE – This unique ‘systems edition’ of Epicentral allows operators to leverage their existing system investments and expand their current bonus and promotional offerings by conveniently turning these offerings into printed coupons thanks to the power of Epicentral’s Print Manager and Design Center modules. In particular, Epicentral SE can print and deliver free play vouchers directly to player which they can then redeem at the slot machine while still playing. It also presents operators with an upgrade path to full Epicentral system implementations should they want to take their in-casino bonus environment to a whole new level.

TransAct’s lineup of TITO printers on display at the 2017 Macao Gaming Show will include the new purpose-built Epic Edge TT and Epic 950 TT table top printers alongside the next-generation Epic Edge and proven Epic 950.

Epic Edge – This next-generation casino ticket printer offers operators a new print resolution (300 dpi) that delivers a 50% improvement over current printers, allowing it to improve bill validator acceptance and reduce attendant calls thanks to its razor sharp barcodes. It also includes an adjustable ticket bucket that accommodates standard tickets and smaller, paper-saving tickets. Additional unique features include a single outer chassis with Serial, USB and Netplex ports, hot swap capability to eliminate game downtime, two high-speed interfaces (USB and Micro SD) for simple updates, a faster ServerPort™ connection, color coded chassis rails, and a rugged metal chassis design.

Epic 950 – The current industry-standard for TITO printing, TransAct’s Epic 950 continues to deliver proven performance in over 500,000 slot machines worldwide. Easily integrated into all game types, the Epic 950 features TicketBurst™ technology to eliminate player/ticket interference and is fully compatible with Epicentral to provide for the direct, real-time delivery of eye-catching personalized promotions and bonus offers.

Epic Edge TT™ and Epic 950 TT™ – These unique, purpose-built printers take the power of the advanced Epic Edge and proven Epic 950 outside the slot machine and on to table games, players’ club desks and cash desks. The new Epic Edge TT and Epic 950 TT package a printer, internally mounted power supply and ServerPort in a tidy, compact design that is easy to deploy. In addition, thanks to their dual port capability, the Epic Edge TT and Epic 950 TT allow operators to expand the bonusing environment created by their Epicentral deployments to non-gaming device applications.
