Cashless is the in-word in many gaming
sectors. And rightly so. Cashless gaming is a real win-win for both operators
and players. DRGT has brought new innovation to the cashless market sector. Now
all gaming machines – regardless of whether they are reel-based or video-based,
regardless of how old they are, regardless of whom the machine manufacturer is
– 100% of the gaming machines in operation can go cashless. Gone are the days
when operators had to update their machine park to go cashless. Furthermore,
the drCashless solutions have been
innovatively designed that they are the perfect solution regardless of how many
gaming machines are linked together – from just a small number right up to
thousands. And this innovative design means that it is set at an
customer-friendly price.
DRGT has developed a full range of cashless
solutions. drCashless centres around
the iButton cashless solution which is simple, convenient and cost-effective to
integrate into gaming machines. DRGT understands how flexible cashless
solutions can be and so offers the drTicket
solution for gaming via ticketing (that naturally can be combined with drCashless). Older gaming machines are
so given a new lease of life and can even be updated (reel-based) with an LCD
update kit so that players can see all the account information on the iButton
via the gaming monitor. “We make use of the gaming monitor to fully inform the
player. If the gaming machine is reel-based, then our dr REEL SCREEN is the perfect solution”, explains Mr. Jurgen de
Munck, co-founder and CEO of DRGT”.
The level of interest in the new, great
cashless innovations from DRGT was clear to see at the ICE Totally Gaming
exhibition in London
last January. This was the first time that DRGT presented their cashless
solutions for the international market. “Products should prove themselves in
the home market before they are offered for international sale”, is the firm
belief of the DRGT management team. “Therefore, we have deliberately ensured
that the DRGT cashless range has proven itself in Belgium where we are based. We have
an excellent reference customer, namely Partouche Casinos in Belgium where
our cashless solutions are very well accepted by the players in our four
Partouche casinos here”.
DRGT is a completely independent gaming
company. This gives the company the added flexibility to tailor cashless solutions
whenever required. The perfect example is in Ireland. Many Irish visitors to the
DRGT stand in London
expressed their interest yet specific requirements to be able to integrate
this. By the time of the Irish AmEx exhibition in Dublin in March, DRGT had Irish-specific
cashless solutions, including the Mystery Progressive Jackpot called Olympic Fire. The drJackpot solution not just brings cashless to gaming machines on
the slot floor but can link them together in a multi-level progressive jackpot.
“We wish to bring continued innovation to the cashless market”, explains Mr.
Michiel van Dam, co-founder and COO of DRGT. “Operators often face the
predicament that the players like older slots but could not go cashless on the
complete machine park. The combination of older with new slots means that
players have the greatest gaming choice. DRGT opens the door to cashless on
every type of gaming machine. Furthermore, the fact that all slots can be
linked via drJackpot means the door has also opened for jackpot systems on all
types of gaming machines as well.”
