"We're excited to offer so many of our classic, proven games to real-money online casinos," said Anthony Singer, CEO of High 5 Games. "It is vital for casinos to offer authentic and familiar brands to its players on their online plat- forms, and that's why we believe Vault will be an essential component of any successful online casino venture." It has not taken long for slots from High 5 Games to become well estab- lished in the real-money online gaming market in New Jersey. Although online gambling in the state has been legal for less than a year, classic H5G titles like Dangerous Beauty, Jaguar Princess, Shadow of the Panther, Sirens, The Vanishing Act and The Dream are already live in Caesars', Tropicana's and High 5 G ames ( Cont'd. from p. 1) Virgin's online casinos, with more deals to come. High 5 Games is making strides in real-money online gaming in Europe as well. In the last six months, H5G has made significant headway in the European and U.K. markets, and the company's business development team has been finalizing distribution agree- ments with NYX, Amaya and Gamesys that will bring Vault to regulated mar- kets by Q4 2014. Additionally, an office space has been sourced in Gibraltar, the equipment purchase has been made, and H5G is in final talks with the GBGA to obtain a remote gaming software supplier. Regardless of platform, High 5 Games is making it clear that it stands head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to creating top-notch content for the gaming industry.

So not only do you know exactly who is not playing, you also know a little but about them as well. You begin to see clues and patterns as to why certain guests are not interested in gaming. In our industry we like to throw around hackneyed words like "business intelligence," but it's not really intelli- gent to say that you are making a com- pletely meaningful decision based on data, when you are missing complete portions of meaningful information. That is, player tracking inferences might be relevant when you only consider the players you know about. But you don't know every guest. In certain ways the data collected by player tracking systems are based on an unrepresentative sample, which implies that the conclusions or inferences that you make based on such an unrepresenta- tive sample shouldn't be trusted. Or at the very least, they should be taken with a grain of salt. It's like "George Burns data analysis;" he said: "If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age." Iverson Gaming is taking this unique cruise industry wisdom and bringing it to land- Iverson G aming Systems ( Cont'd. from p. 1) based casinos. We've found there's a problem in the paradigm of how a player tracking sys- tem currently works; it is difficult to pro- vide a meaningful experience, especially a meaningful social experience, when a patron is "tethered" by a player card to a fixed location and can only see offers and rewards via the display at that exact loca- tion. We need to keep the guest holisti- cally entertained, we need to give the guest the social experience that most of them came for in the first place, and we need to make use of the player tracking system to help do that. Our latest solution turns player tracking into a mobile, social experi- ence, where the player is liberated from their player's card but can still stay con- nected throughout the property, and can even stay connected at home. We've undertaken the preliminary develop- ment, and we are currently looking for a land-based beta site that is excited about pioneering this technology with us. The value of this tool is remarkable, not only for the casino but also for the player. So visit Iverson Gaming Systems at booth 2609 to become one of the first land- based properties to benefit from this new technology.
