TransAct to showcase products at CGS

TransAct will be present at the Canadian Gaming Summit 2017 to showcase its full suite of gaming technology and print solutions.

Canada.- TransAct Technologies Incorporated, the software-driven technology and printing solutions for high-growth markets company, will demonstrate a full suite of its gaming technology and print solutions at the 2017 Canadian Gaming Summit (CGS), to be held June 19-21, 2017 at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Appearing in conjunction with its Canadian distribution partner Bet Rite (Booth #200), TransAct will showcase its full lineup of Epic® casino and gaming ticket printers, led by the new Epic Edge™, and the latest v3.8 and Epicentral System Edition (“Epicentral SE”) versions of Epicentral®.

Building on the proven performance of TransAct’s industry-leading Epic 950, the next-generation Epic Edge delivers a host of technological advances. As the first ticket-in/ticket out (“TITO”) printer to offer 300 dpi print resolution, representing a 50 percent improvement over current printers, the Epic Edge produces razor sharp barcodes that drive improved bill validator acceptance and reduce attendant calls while allowing for more attractive coupon designs that enhance Epicentral implementations. The Epic Edge also features an adjustable ticket bucket that allows operators to use smaller tickets to save money and reduce paper usage. Furthermore, as a drop-in replacement for the Epic 950, operators can easily run the Epic Edge and Epic 950 side-by-side. Other key features include: single outer chassis with Serial, USB and Netplex ports to allow the printer to work with any machine type; hot swap capability to eliminate game downtime; two high-speed interfaces for firmware and graphics updates: USB and Micro SD; upgraded ServerPort™ connection; rugged metal chassis design.

Epicentral, the industry’s only enterprise-level promotion and bonusing software suite, allows casino operators to target and deliver promotions to customers in real-time directly at the slot machine and electronic table game. It works with all existing slot management systems and games to provide casino slot and marketing teams with the unparalleled ability to create a floor-wide bonusing environment that has been proven to drive increased time on device and, ultimately, increased revenue for the casino operator.

The latest version of Epicentral, v3.8, allows operators to run multiple simultaneous promotions, create games within games, offer multi-user/multi-site promotions, run different promotions on different slot game banks, segment players by tier and promote to different levels of uncarded players. It also features the ability to redeem, print or reprint bonuses at multiple locations, an enhanced user interface and new reporting options. TransAct also offers a unique systems version of Epicentral (Epicentral SE) which allows operators to use the existing bonusing capabilities of their slot management systems to offer bonuses to players as a printed coupon by leveraging Epicentral’s Print Manager and Design Center modules. It also provides for an upgrade path to a full Epicentral implementation should an operator seek to expand their promotion and bonusing options beyond the capabilities of their existing slot management system.

TransAct will in addition demonstrate at the 2017 Canadian Gaming Summit (Booth #200) an array of its award-winning Epic printing systems for gaming devices, self-service kiosks and lottery applications, including the Epic 950, the Epic 950 Table Top Enclosure, the Epic 880, the Epic 430 and the Epic 3000®.
