Galaxy Gaming has launched Triton Casino Systems, a brand-new table game progressive operating system.
Triton Casino Systems has refined what made its precursor, Bonus Jackpot System, successful and adds a wealth of new features to enhance the casino floor.
Triton Casino Systems provides casino partners with the flexibility for a variety of progressive configurations including daily jackpots, real-time progressives, and tiered progressives. Simplifying the dealer procedure and jackpot payouts is the inventive and easy-to-use dealer pad. The new Triton sensors are available in a variety of colors and are calibrated to operate in a variety of lighting conditions.
Triton provides more robust reporting and back-end analytics via an upgraded dashboard. The dashboard is home to reporting, jackpot configurations, and other helpful tools. With features like required log-in credentials, operators can feel confident and secure with this durable, data-safe, and recoverable casino system.
“We have delivered a successful progressive jackpot system for many years. But we listened to our partners and developed a brand-new platform that gives them the features and customizations needed for this evolving industry. The Triton Casino System is more than a new progressive jackpot system. It’s a scalable tool that allows Galaxy Gaming and our customers to continue to develop best-in-class experiences,” Todd Cravens, President and CEO of Galaxy Gaming, said.
