CEM announced that the awards recognize gaming companies that
manufacture and supply both traditional and electronic table games
and table game products. Shuffle Master won four of the seven award
categories for their products’ usefulness, innovation, ease of use
and efficiency. The four winning products were:
- Best Electronic
Innovation: Operator Wide Area Progressive for Table
GamesThrough a proprietary communication network,
multi-property casinos in the same regulatory market can now offer
players a single jackpot that increments in real time. Because it
builds quickly and hits frequently, this inter-casino progressive
jackpot is designed to deliver even more excitement to the
table.
- Best Side Bet:
“6 Card Bonus” for Three Card PokerWith
frequent payouts and an enticing top award, 6 Card Bonus takes the
classic game of Three Card Poker and creates a fun twist by
offering more ways to win. 6 Card Bonus is an optional wager that
combines the dealer’s three cards with the player’s three cards to
make a five-card poker hand.
- Table Game
Gizmos: i-Verify™Utilizing a small LCD touch-screen
that sits flush in the table, the i-Verify is a random-number
generator, house-way confirmation and commission calculator for the
game pai gow poker. By instructing the pai gow dealer exactly how
to set his or her hand according to the prescribed house procedure,
the i-Verify eliminates the need for the dealer to memorize complex
house rules. The i-Verify is currently used on over 200 pai gow
tables.
- Best Game
Protection Product: MD3™ ShufflerBringing an
unprecedented level of security to multi-deck table games like
blackjack and baccarat, Shuffle Master’s latest innovative card
shuffler reads and verifies every card being shuffled. The MD3 has
an impressive feature set designed to increase speed and security
while at the same time decrease downtime and maintenance.
Winners were selected by a group of table game experts from
around the world including operators and consultants who were
chosen based on their expertise in the field.
“Shuffle Master has a long legacy of excellence and market
leadership in the table games space. It is a great honor to be
recognized by judges who are known industry experts and truly
appreciate the products and the effort that goes into development,”
said Gavin Isaacs, Chief Executive Officer of Shuffle Master.
“We’re thrilled to have been a part of CEM’s inaugural event.”
The CEM awards were announced February 3, 2012 and an article
featuring all the winners will be in its March issue.
