Acres 4.0 Launches First-ever Electronic Pull-tab System
September 18, 2012
Gaming Inventor Brings iPad® Gambling to Minnesota
Minneapolis, Minn. September 18, 2012 — Acres 4.0, a leading inventor of new gambling technologies, today became the first company to implement an electronic pull-tab gaming system operated on consumer electronics. The proprietary central server-based system reinvents current paper pull-tab operations using secured wireless technology, offering exceptional player enjoyment and simplicity of operation.
The company is the first to receive an electronic pull-tab manufacturing license from the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. The innovative iPad®-based product went live at several bars and taverns today following final regulatory approval from the state.
Acres 4.0 was founded by John Acres, a well-known gambling industry inventor and entrepreneur.
"It’s no secret the gaming industry must change,” said Acres. “Our company is again leading that change. Five years ago, I recognized the gambling industry had outgrown its traditional player base and that most non-gambling consumers weren't satisfied with traditional gambling games or experiences."
The Las Vegas-based company was founded with the goal of making the gaming experience more enjoyable, personal and affordable. The company has filed more than 70 patent applications on its latest technology, which some believe holds the key to the future of the industry.
“The implementation of this exciting new product in Minnesota is just the beginning of another revolutionary change in the industry," added Acres. "Furthermore, Minnesota charitable gaming is the perfect launch pad for our latest inventions. Unlike traditional casinos, player losses here fund important works for charity.”
