January 24, 2012 – Sydney, NS: Techlink Entertainment officially unveiled its new electronic gaming machine (EGM) today at the ICE Totally Gaming Exhibition. ICE is the world's most complete gaming exhibition that runs from January 24th – 26th, 2012 in Earls Court in London.
Called Blast™, the terminal is the company’s latest offering targeting the wide area market. This exciting new EGM is available to be seen in booth #5540 alongside one of the largest lottery suppliers worldwide, Intralot.
Focused on enhancing the entire user experience, Blast™ was created from the ground up. Powered by LaunchIT, the future-proof G2S compliant platform, Blast is high-performing, convergence ready and designed for maximum impact. With two high definition, wide screen monitors and game-themed eye-catching LED lighting, playing this EGM is an engaging sensory experience. It can also offer Techlink’s new Hybrid functionality which will allow online games to be played on the EGM screen. This means operators will have the flexibility to deliver a wide range of multimedia and online gaming content to players to take their gaming experience to the next level.
“Blast™ truly moves the gaming industry one step closer to convergence. Its open design, flexibility and online power allows operators to deliver online games, traditional casino games, VLT games and lottery games, like scratch tickets, all on one terminal. This is the future of gaming,” says Mr. Xidos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Techlink Entertainment.
