Alpha's Digital Display Group Teams with Gaming Support & Philips 3D Solutions at G2E Show in Las Vegas

Minneapolis, MN, November 12, 2007– Digital Display Group (DDG), a leader in managing and implementing visual communication networks and digital signage solutions, announced today they are teaming with Gaming Support, one of the world’s pre-eminent providers of outsourced gaming services, and Philips 3D Solutions, creators of complete 3D solutions, at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2007 in Las Vegas.  The show, located at the Las Vegas Convention Center, runs through November 13 – 15, 2007.  Visit DDG, Gaming Support, and Philips 3D Solutions, at booth 3277 and learn how casinos are taking advantage of the latest gaming technology.

 

Digital Display Group will be demonstrating its CastNET™ Digital Signage System for the gaming market, highlighting the technology by driving the 3D Philips Display solutions. CastNET is a template-based, enterprise wide digital signage solution, that gives users the ability to create and update content on screens from anywhere in the world, in a matter of minutes.  Its signage solutions bring immediate and cost-effective marketing to casino properties, and are scalable to accommodate unlimited users, through unlimited channels, from anywhere in the world.  In addition, DDG will be featuring its CastNET Winners Module, which is an innovative solution that allows users to hold live contests and drawings utilizing digital signage.  The Winners Module enables gaming properties to quickly add the names of contest winners, their prize amount, and a countdown with time remaining to claim their prize.  It is compatible with the Gaming Support JackpotJunction XLÒ Progressive Display option.

 

Lance Hutchinson, Director of Business Development for DDG said,  “The CastNET Digital Signage System and JackpotJunction XL Modules for gaming are progressive solutions that are becoming a necessity for every leading gaming property.  The ease-of-use and attractive features allow our customers to drive revenue and increase the feel of luck and winning on the property.” 

 

Gaming Support, the leader in providing innovative and reliable products and services for the gaming industry, will be showcasing its JackpotJunction XLÒ with CastNET, its JackpotJunction LiteÒ media controller and software, LED displays, its BaseSysÒ open-standard casino management system, and Jackpot Controllers.  The JackpotJunction XL and Lite promotional systems are the gaming industry's most prolific gaming-enabled digital signage platforms.  The BaseSys system is the only open-standard casino management system that works with all slot machines, and allows users the freedom from being tied to bundled software that doesn’t quite fit.  Their Jackpot Controllers feature integrated support of mysteries, progressives, local and wide-area digital networks, making them the most feature-rich, scalable and cost-effective jackpot controllers in the industry.

 

John Van Hoove, Vice President for North America Sales at Gaming Support, said, “We are very excited to be bringing our award-winning products and services from Europe to the United States.  Our industry-leading solutions, together with CastNET and the Philips 3D technology, will make for an incredible experience for the show audience!”

 

Philips 3D Solutions will be displaying its revolutionary screen technology, where objects and images seem to come out and move beyond the screen, giving the viewer a fascinating 3D experience.  3D will be the new revolution in viewing experience, as Philips uses the very latest WOWvx 3D technology in its displays.  3D adds a new dimension to gaming applications, showing the world as it really is and making content richer, more immersive, and more exciting for the viewer.  Gaming in 3D will become a new and innovative, entertaining experience that makes the game, application or brand much more appealing and attractive.  For game developers, display providers and slot machine makers, 3D is the perfect way to differentiate themselves and really step out in the gaming environment. 

Jos Swillens, CEO of Philips 3D Solutions said, “3D really adds a new dimension to gaming.  Easy distribution of 3D content over existing infrastructure, like Digital Display Group has now done with Scala, is a key factor for success and market scaling.”
