- Tuesday, 31 Jan 2006
Gambling fans will soon be able to enjoy personalized gaming via server-based casino gambling. The two major players in the field, Nevada’s Game Technology and rival Alliance Gaming, are focusing heavily on developing the technological capability that will power entire slot machine ranges from one central computer. This year’s recent Global Gaming Expo gave industry insiders a sneak preview of the gambling world’s latest technological advancement.
Server-based gambling is expected to revolutionize the gaming experience by offering a fully personalized service, from providing vouchers on a casino player’s birthday to automatically listing a player’s favorite games according to his preferred denomination. By using a central server to power a range of slot machines, gambling operators will have far greater control over changing and updating games and denominations. Instead of programming different settings on each individual slot machine, gambling operators will be able to make ‘across the board’ changes at one central point.
Alliance Gaming and Game Technology plan to lead the way in powering the next generation of gambling. Both companies stand to make substantial revenues once new technology is approved by the State Gaming Control Board later in the year. However, most new software implementations are not expected until 2007. Industry analysts believe that then the large gambling firms will lead the way with smaller operations following.
