Serving Up the Best in Table Progressives and Shufflers
G2E 2024 is a landmark year for AGS’ Table division as it becomes a full-service progressive and shuffler supplier. AGS will unveil enhancements to its award-winning progressive platforms, including a new sign package for STAX™ and an innovative addition to its industry-leading Bonus Spin™ Xtreme platform, Bonus Spin™ Xtreme for Poker Rooms. The new addition, which was recently awarded a ‘2025 Best Table Product or Innovation’ in Global Gaming Magazine’s Gaming & Technology Awards, offers flexible progressive configurations to operators and adds the potential for players to win life-changing jackpots in live poker rooms.
