The 24th Annual East Coast Gaming Congress & NexGen Gaming Forum (ECGC), scheduled for Oct. 25-26, 2021, is the gaming industry’s second-largest conference, and an essential forum for examining and coordinating ideas regarding the future of online and land-based gaming. The future of the industry requires a synchronized, holistic approach, and ECGC has risen to meet that challenge with an approach that is simply the best way to address igaming, sports betting, land-based gaming and all gaming-related issues. ECGC is designed to make sure that all the critical issues are dealt with in the same forum. Leaders—from government, suppliers and operators—who will collectively set the policies and make the decisions, are brought into one place where their ideas can be cross-pollinated and placed in the broadest context. The conference is organized and produced by Spectrum Gaming Group; Cooper Continued on Page 12
Using Face Recognition to Combine Virus Protection and Responsible Gaming Measures
COVID brings new difficulties to knowing and protecting your customers. It’s hard enough for your security staff to recognize self-excluded, underage or banned patrons, let alone check if they are wearing masks. Face recognition can help. Generating real-time notifications, the FaceVACSVideoScan solution can detect known persons, such as VIP customers, and alert you to persons wearing or not wearing masks. As a bonus, the software analyzes faces to produce statistics about people count, age, gender and movement. If you need to trace the spread of contagions, the software can track a person through the premises, and show who they interacted with. Entry and exit cameras can record all visitor appearances, which can be used to compute the time patrons spent on premise. Aside from contact tracing, you can use this feature to warn people who have overstayed their time in the gaming areas. Continued on Page 12

Over the last years, Zitro’s greatest hits such as Link King, Link Me, 88 Link and Bashiba have captured an enormous ship share in Europe and Latam, and now they are also gaining a growing popularity in Florida, Oklahoma, and more recently, California, the states where Zitro has made its first inroads on U.S. soil.

As a result of those efforts, the company has already announced the launch of Glare, a brand new product line, with multiple form factors, and a large library of titles to guarantee fresh content and amazing, unique experiences to players. The titles running on the new product line will also run on the existing Continued on Page 12
Midax Uses Lockdown as an Opportunity
While others furloughed their production staff, Midax decided to double down on the opportunity to develop its product range strategically, building on its pre-existing platform of the Tribal One loyalty and fleet programs, integrated into player points databases. Midax expanded its mobile app to handle order ahead, at the c-store and on the way to the c-store, delivery and pickup at the grocery store, enabling users to pay with player points on their mobile device and enjoy built-in frequency rewards at the c-store, grocery store and QSR. The next step is mobile order at the slot machine, so Midax can turn servers into expeditors. Midax has agreed with hospitality providers such as Agilysys and Micros to integrate its c-store applications into their systems for a seamless customer experience across the tribal property.
