12 Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Gaming News EZ BACCARAT® INTERACTIVE Launched at this year's G2E in Las Vegas, EZ Baccarat Interactive replicates the experience of playing EZ Baccarat at a live table. In development for a year, the interactive software can be played on all computers, Android, iPhones and any other mobile devices that use Flash or HTML5. In creating the Interactive game, it was essential to keep all the features that the live table game version has that make the game so exciting. The three main elements of EZ Baccarat: playing the game itself, the history of the shoe results on the scoreboard, and the ability to see what others at the table are betting, had to be integrated, while also scaling the game down so it could work on a smart phone with a small screen. The application has been designed to provide maximum flexibility to the on line casinos ("OLC") and the playing customer. When the customer enters a casino's interactive portal and selects EZ Baccarat as the game he wants to play, he is immediately sent to a "lobby" that shows a number of EZ Baccarat games currently in progress that he can scroll through. Each "table" displays important data to help the customer make a selection. This includes the number of hands dealt from the shoe, the number of Dragon 7 and Panda 8 hands that have occurred in the shoe, and the table limits for the game. Once a customer selects a table, he is assigned a position at the game and the game screen opens up, ready for play on the next hand. At any time, the customer can touch his screen to look at the full EZ Trak display or touch an icon to see who is betting what at each position at his table. An OLC option is available that each customer's name or nickname can also be shown in "Table View." Once a table is full (to control volatility the maximum is 10 customers per table), it disappears from the lobby and another table with the same limits replaces it. It is, therefore, possible to keep adding as many games as the OLC desires to deploy. The application is also going to be offered with a "Live Casino" option. This is when an OLC casino shows a physical table game that has a dealer dealing the cards for a shoe. The image of the live game appears on the customer's screen with the regular application. To eliminate the possibility of card counting bots (computer robots that can track multiple interactive games at the same time), there are a variety of security features in place that make the count- ing of the shoe to extract an advantage on the game or the proposition bets not profitable. EZ Baccarat Interactive is available now and offered as an app with or without "Live Casino" play through the Bally Technologies Interactive library. About DEQ Systems DEQ Systems Corp.
