Easitrax Web and its new Maintenance Alerts feature. Easitrax Web is a recent software extension of Easitrax Soft Count, an RFID-based cash management system that is now installed in more than 200,000 games worldwide. Like Easitrax Soft Count, Easitrax Web works by gathering data from multiple SC note acceptors and funneling that information into a secure remote database that can be accessed to track revenues and analyze slot performance. And because cash boxes are no longer tied to specific machines, operators can save 20-30 seconds per cashbox on every drop—routinely resulting in a return on investment in less than one year. What differentiates Easitrax Web from the standard Soft Count package is that it provides even more flexibility and control to operators, leading to a quick payback. The data it collects can still be used to streamline the drop process, facilitate asset evaluations and conduct
Kai Relate
ACRES 4.0 • BOOTH 2030 AT G2E, ACRES WILL INTRODUCE RELATE, an expansion of Kai’s capabilities that drives profitable real-time interactions between employees and players. Kai can now dispatch employees to welcome new arrivals, deliver a favorite drink even before the customer asks, celebrate achievements and stay in touch with player needs and emotions. Kai automatically senses, through existing player tracking systems, which players should be challenged to step up to a new tier level and when a player’s interest is flagging. Kai prioritizes, according to potential worth and player preference, the order and manner in which players are served during busy times. Kai even measures labor utilization on each hour of each shift, to recommend more efficient future staffing levels. Kai also understands individual player worth, personality, history and desire. Kai learns, without human intervention, exactly how to serve each player to maximum benefit. Kai creates an electronic bridge between employees and customers, allowing instant communication through text or voice conversations. Kai does all this without burdening customers with app downloads or learning. Customers simply text or talk, exactly as they do now with friends and family. Kai isolates hosts and service personnel from actual customer contact details. Employees simply click on a customer name to call, text or communicate, without ever seeing the customer’s true contact details. Managers have full access to each conversation. Customers communicate through a single dedicated phone number, and Kai automatically routes the call to the most appropriate employee. Kai eliminates radios and works with any system and across all machines, requires minimal IT support and usually installs in less than a dozen hours. Training is accomplished in minutes. Kai operates on the casino’s virtual server or through the cloud.

Orion Cabinet AGS • BOOTH 1253
A premium, competitive hardware with its unique, eye-catching Orion
GS introduces its first foray into
game cabinet. Orion features a first-ofits-kind emotive lighting design that captures the attention of players like no other before. At the heart of Orion is a 42-inch HD monitor set in portrait mode, but what truly sets it apart is the solid ring of LCD lights that surround the monitor. This emotive lighting “ring” resembles a visually stunning eclipse, and when placed side-by-side creates a billboard that leads players into AGS’ topperforming, dynamic game content. The ring of lights encompasses the main cabinet and reflects against the clean, chrome material, making the cabinets appear larger. Coupled with Orion’s low-profile design, casino operators can offer compelling sightlines across their casino floors. Options for a flushmount or low-profile, LCD button deck and the latest HD audio with a self-contained subwoofer amplify the cabinet’s submersing design and further entice players into AGS’ engaging game content. Black glass on the button deck draws players in, and its ergonomic features and large, easy-to-use player interface keep
players comfortable for longer time on device. The sleek LCD button deck also allows for incredibly flexible bet configurations to match each operator’s unique needs. Orion is a design of the future that resembles one solid piece when placed in banks for an unforgettable, monolithic presence. Stealthily engineered with an upper and lower door, easily accessible switches and internal lighting, Orion was built for exceptionally easy servicing. Its self-contained logic and use of a common platform also eliminate the need for multiple servers. Three new titles debuted on Orion will expose players to AGS’ game content—Fire Wolf II, Fu Nan Fu Nu and Wolf Queen. Built with the core gambler in mind, these games feature AGS’ popular PowerXStream pay evaluation method in a three-by-five reel configuration within the base game.
