This has included building and supplying over 250 gaming tables, 40 Saturn Roulette Wheels and over 100 winning number displays. As a result of these installations, most casinos are already future proofed for Qorex Gaming Terminals. TCSJOHNHUXLEY has been working closely with the operators in Ontario for AGCO approval.
