US – Tribal casinos first to market with Everi’s latest innovations
By Phil - 24 February 2020
Three leading tribal casino properties have become the first to deploy Everi Holdings’s latest gaming hardware platforms and entertainment experiences.
The all-new Empire Flex cabinet featuring Beast recently debuted at Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder, Louisiana, the new Empire DCX cabinet featuring The Mask themed slot game debuted at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, and the TournEvent Now sit-and-go feature is now installed at Pala Casino in Pala, California.
“These first-to-market installations represent a significant milestone for Everi and reflect our commitment to creating innovative hardware platforms on a consistent basis as set forth in our development roadmap,” said Dean Ehrlich, Executive Vice President and Games Business Leader, at Everi. “These recent deployments also align with our commitment at the Global Gaming Expo in October 2019 to have our products commercially available no later than the summer of 2020. We believe these newest offerings are a clear embodiment of our team’s talent for creating products that deliver elevated gaming experiences for players while providing our customers with an attractive return on their investment.”
The Empire Flex cabinet, a new for-sale form factor with industry-unique lighting architecture, showcases a 49-inch flexed display with eye-popping 4K content, flexible integrated light bars, and a larger enhanced glass button deck. Beast brings majestic and ferocious beasts to life and provides players 1,024 different ways to win with immersive 4K visual engagement and innovative horizontal expanding reels.
The Empire DCX premium video cabinet features dual-curved 43-inch monitors with integrated edge lighting, a 4K display that provides a captivating player experience, enhanced game-controlled lighting, and premium 4.1 surround sound. Players at Pechanga will experience an all-new slot game based on New Line Cinema’s 1994 hit comedy The Mask, which follows the misadventures of bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss, who is transformed into a manic hero when he wears a mysterious mask.
Simplicity and flexibility are at the heart of Everi’s TournEvent Now sit-and-go feature, an upgrade for existing Core HDX TournEvent banks and part of the next iteration of the industry-leading slot tournament system. This all-new feature offers operators a significantly easier approach to managing round one qualifying events, in which players can compete at their own pace and on their own time, effectively moving themselves through the first round of tournaments without the need for casino staff or formal events.
