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.”

Supplier says new bonus targeting, parallel tournaments and faster content delivery aim to convert sportsbook spikes into casino revenue.

GR8 Tech says it has updated its casino product ahead of anticipated World Cup-driven traffic, focusing on bonus tools, tournament mechanics, content delivery and provider feature integrations.

“A World Cup can bring a lot of new traffic, but that traffic only matters if you give players a reason to stay,” said Lusine Khudaverdyan, Head of Casino at GR8 Tech. “For casino, that means more flexible bonuses, engaging tournaments, strong content coverage, and provider features that help operators convert interest into repeat play.”

On bonuses, the company said it has introduced product-level wagering that lets operators target promotions across slots, live casino and instant games, or combine categories. On tournaments, GR8 Tech said operators can now use the same game across multiple parallel tournaments and allow players to join more than one at the same time.

GR8 Tech said it works with more than 200 casino providers and is investing in infrastructure to speed up content delivery. The company said new provider-specific content delivery solutions can be implemented in about 1 to 2 weeks, and that it is adding roughly a dozen integrations per quarter. It also pointed to a roadmap aligned with demand trends including instant and mini-game formats, which it said are relevant for crypto-oriented brands and younger audiences.

Beyond game access, GR8 Tech said its roadmap is prioritizing integration of provider features it believes can impact engagement, retention and GGR, with the aim of reducing gaps between provider capabilities and what operators can activate on the platform.
