GeWeTe, the Gauselmann owned cash handling experts with some 26-years experience in the sector, will be using next week’s EAG to debut its new Cash Centre Deluxe. A marriage of outstanding design and supreme functionality, the high security cabinet features an impressive 24″ touchscreen and illuminated side panels ensuring that it stands out and complements any gaming location. GeWeTe’s in-house development team has addressed every detail allowing for a customised front panel in order to enhance the design and make it unique to the operator.

Boasting a capacity of 2,700 banknotes and up to six coin hoppers, the Cash Centre Deluxe has a range of multi-functional features enabling it to accept banknotes and coins as well as paying out banknotes and coins. Connection to the majority of casino management systems allows the validation of TITO tickets or electronic purse systems, including QR and Barcode systems for AGC’s, Casinos and Sports Betting applications. The additional benefit of bank card acceptance allows players to purchase TITO tickets using a Debit Card. As with all PC based models the Cash Centre Deluxe has the ability to be used as a ‘Staff Cash Desk’ which enables staff to withdraw and deposit both notes and coins via a dedicated card and PIN, in the process offering enhanced levels of security to both site and staff.

Mark Edmundson, Sales Manager for UK and Ireland, believes the depth of knowledge that exists within the company coupled with the highest quality specification and build are hallmarks of the GeWeTe brand. He explained: “Cash handling is built on trust which in itself requires the highest levels of competence. Every facet of the design, development, manufacture and support is conducted at our head office in Germany which means we remain in total control from start to finish. We have over 30 machines in the range and the fact that we haven’t dropped any but instead enhanced them and provided our customers with added choice, speaks volumes about the quality and the philosophy that drives GeWeTe’s commitment to the market.”

He added: “The industry is placing more emphasis on aesthetics and not just functionality which in many ways is a given. At ACOS in October many of our stand visitors highlighted the contemporary design of our range. I think what we are seeing is a need for functional products to also look the part in order to complement what’s taking place with the improved interiors of AGCs, FECs and Bingo Clubs. Operators are making significant investments to deliver a contemporary consumer experience which means that all products need to complement and not detract from the environment in which they are sited.”

Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) a leading provider of casino operational intelligence software, announced the launch of QCI Metrics, a new anonymized data-sharing program that enables gaming and hospitality operators to benchmark performance using yesterday’s operating data—providing timely, actionable insights without exposing customer, financial, or personally identifiable information. This innovative solution extends beyond gaming machine ranking into host performance standardization.

Available through the Chatalytics.com portal and integrated into the QCI Platform, QCI Metrics transforms operational data—including game performance and host effectiveness—into standardized performance indexes.

While traditional benchmarking solutions rely on limited datasets or delayed reporting cycles, QCI Metrics delivers insights based on yesterday’s data—giving operators a timely, continuously updated view of how they are performing against peers across both gaming and player development.

All data shared in QCI Metrics is:

• Aggregated and normalized

• De-identified

• Abstracted at the property level using internal IDs

No transaction-level, player-level, or campaign-level data is ever shared.

“QCI Metrics gives operators the ability to see how they stack up against peers across player development and gaming in near-time, without compromising privacy. It’s a practical, secure way to unlock industry-wide insights,” said Andrew Cardno, Co-Founder and CTO of QCI.

QCI Metrics is designed to help operators quickly identify performance gaps, respond faster to trends, and adopt proven strategies in a highly competitive environment.

RAW iGaming announces today the launch of RAW Riches, a site-wide progressive jackpot overlay designed to deliver jackpot moments without adding operational complexity.

Launching as part of the RAWVerse ecosystem, RAW Riches introduces a new approach to jackpots, prioritising seamless integration, player engagement, and operator control.

A fully embedded experience

RAW Riches introduces a multi-tier progressive jackpot layer deployable across an operator’s entire portfolio, regardless of game supplier. Unlike traditional jackpot mechanics that require separate integrations or fragmented systems, RAW Riches operates as a fully embedded experience within the operator’s brand, creating a single, unified jackpot.

Tom Wood, CEO of RAW iGaming, said: “The industry built jackpots in silos. We built one that connects everything.

“RAW Riches gives operators a site-wide jackpot running across every entity and every game supplier, configured to their exact needs and brand, all from a single solution.

“We pride ourselves on producing the industry’s most distinctive and disruptive game concepts and RAW Riches is no different.

“This is the kind of product that changes how operators think about jackpots entirely.”

A seamless player experience

Players opt in and continue playing as normal. When triggered, the jackpot experience takes over instantly. Every trigger results in a win, with no losing outcomes, before the player is returned to their original game to continue playing.

Scaleable without complexity

RAW Riches solves one of the industry’s most persistent operational challenges in scaling jackpots across multiple providers, brands, and markets. Key features include:
