ICE – Interblock to show ‘revolutionary’ Universal Cabinet at ICE
By Phil - 8 January 2019
Interblock will be showing the breakthrough form-factor, Universal Cabinet, a standalone unit with slot-like hardware designed to support a variety of games, at this year’s ICE Totally Gaming exhibition, February 5 to 7.
Available in both video and automated formats, the product will demonstrate craps, roulette, blackjack and baccarat games and its ability to connect to external Interblock generators. Interblock says the Universal Cabinet will be revolutionary to the gaming industry and will change the way a typical casino floor is configured.
Interblock EMEA President & Board Member Tomaž Žvipelj said: “We are very excited to be returning to ICE Totally Gaming, which is where we displayed the industry’s first ever ETG, Princess in 1997. Our team has been exceeding our expectations in developing our innovative comprehensive product portfolio and we can’t wait to share it with our partners at the show.”
Interblock’s Diamond Stadium will be configured with three of its dealer assist tables delivering multi-hand blackjack, roulette and craps while also demonstrating its video options of multi-hand blackjack, baccarat, craps and roulette. The Diamond Stadium gives unlimited flexibility to operators and can accommodate any footprint while also connecting to external generators on the casino floor. It delivers more hands per hour, with a variety of table game content available from one seat and has the ability to switch to an automated or video gaming space when live dealers are not present. The recently released tournament mode will also be active in the stadium showing customers a fun and easy way to energize their floor during down times.
The award-winning StarBar bar top will demonstrate its ability to connect to the live Stadium games. The StarBar allows players to interact with up to four different games simultaneously on one play station without having to cash out or change machines. A variety of games are available including craps, blackjack, multi-hand blackjack, roulette, video poker and more.
Interblock’s bestselling product, MiniStar Roulette, will display its new ball-chasing light and sound package, which is designed to elevate the player experience. LED lights on the wheel combined with amplifying sounds effects will chase the ball until it drops into a pocket. The product delivers more than 80 results per hour and provides many of the features offered on Interblock’s premium Diamond Roulette product line but in a smaller footprint. MiniStar Roulette is available with five, six, eight or ten seats with a single or double zero roulette wheel.
Diamond Video Blackjack will feature an enhanced Virtual Dealer with fast-deal graphics that have reduced waiting time for participating players resulting in more hands per hour. Each play station offers 27-inch high definition screens that allow players to play up to three industry-leading side bets at a time.
The new Diamond Big Six Super Spin has all of the classic features of Big Six but with an added bonus. It is the industry’s largest wheel and is fully automated. The double-sided wheel provides the flexibility to add play stations to one or both sides of the wheel, and the wheel’s face on both sides can be branded with the casino’s logo. The new Big Six Super Spin wheel is divided into 54 segments, each with a symbol. If the pointer stops on a selected symbol, players placing their bets on that symbol will win or an additional Super Spin feature is triggered.
