Class III SBG slots: Inspired will exhibit its highly successful multi-game casino product, Machete. The widescreen cabinet is already live in Colombia and generating strong incomes with top performing slots, roulette and poker on twin 22” high-definition (HD) screens. Machete is powered by Inspired’s Open Server-Based Gaming CORE™ platform, which allows the product to be remotely updated on demand with new games from a library of international hits and localised content. This multi-game, multi-developer approach has proven to increase incomes for operators. Manufactured in Colombia by PMV S.A. and distributed by Algazara S.A., Machete is especially made for local operators.
Virtual Sports Betting: Recognised as the most graphically rich virtual sports betting content in the world and winner of the 2012 ICE Totally Gaming Best Betting Product of the Year award, Inspired’s Virtual Sports are already live in 33 countries worldwide and generate in excess of US$7 billion of revenue and US$ 950m gross win every year. Inspired’s portfolio of virtual sports includes, football, tennis, motor racing, cycling, greyhounds, horse racing, trotting and speedway. Inspired has been supplying its virtual sports for venues, mobile, online and to homes via broadcast networks for over 10 years. Inspired recently signed an agreement with Caliente spanning 13 countries in Latin America, including Mexico, Panama and Venezuela.
Electronic roulette: Inspired will also showcase its internationally successful HD electronic roulette product, Sabre. Launched only last year, it recently gained GLI certification and has already secured over 1,000 orders from operators such as Genting and Gala Casinos in the UK and also from Sanum and Silver Heritage Limited in the Asia Pacific region. The highly successful cabinet has many unique easy betting features, including four colour coded wheels to choose from and a second "Player Portal" touch screen for game results and analysis. Inspired’s Open SBG Core™ platform allows Sabre to offer a multi-content menu with roulette, baccarat and slots, which can be scheduled according to the time of day.
Harmen Brenninkmeijer, Senior Vice-President of Strategic Market Development at Inspired said, “We are pleased with our achievement in Colombia. We have the most advanced platform, which has proven to increase incomes for operators and yet is powerful and flexible enough to excel in markets with even the most stringent gaming legislation, such as the UK and Italy. We have established a successful partnership with local manufacturer and distributor, PMV S.A./Algazara S.A., and we look forward to the future of this exciting new market.”
