2009 G2E Product Offerings

Multimedia Games will debut an advanced version of its slot tournament system, its newest community game, a new line of 5-reel mechanical reel games and a new 3-reel mechanical reel multi-tier progressive game, as well as new audio capabilities for its popular Player Series™ gaming cabinets. The Company will also demonstrate two Apps for the iTunes® App Store at G2E that leverage popular Multimedia Games gaming brands, intellectual property and content in an exciting new medium. The new products on display at G2E include:

  • TournEvent™: An advanced, next generation version of Multimedia Games’ innovative slot tournament system (formerly called Casino Commander® Tournament System), TournEvent features new functionality that further enables casino operators to quickly and seamlessly create entertaining tournament environments featuring eye-catching real-time leader boards and countdown displays on slot machines and on overhead displays. TournEvent is deployed on a bank of games that can each run independently or together as a group, allowing the slot floor manager to switch seamlessly from in-revenue gaming to out-of-revenue tournaments at the push of a button. The self-contained Control Center at the end of the bank allows the tournament administrator to trigger tournaments, register players and set session length, number of sessions and number of players per session. In addition, customized advertising can be loaded and pre-scheduled to run on the system’s various displays. New enhancements for players include the addition of a high impact, dual-sided, overhead sign package with enhanced graphics, which creates anticipation during the event and an enhanced sense of excitement. Throughout the tournament, leader boards display real-time tournament standings and live player reactions from cameras embedded in the slot cabinet are displayed as each session concludes.
  • New Community Bonus Game: Following on the success of the Company’s horse-racing themed game for the community gaming segment, Sport of Kings™, Multimedia Games will introduce its newest community bonus game, Slot Car Speedway™. Slot Car Speedway provides players with attractive graphical elements and an emotive audio/visual experience driving a strong connection to one of America’s favorite passions – the automobile. The game represents an evolutionary step forward for Multimedia Games as the underlying technology renders the 3D race in real-time without a pre-determined outcome, allowing every race to play out differently thus adding new levels of excitement to the player experience. The community bonus round is enabled as players bet 25 lines (1-5 credits per line) and a 15-credit side bet (per bet per line) to accumulate “tickets” when three scattered ticket symbols appear. Players place their bets on one or more of the 8 unique cars and, every 8 minutes, the Call to Race sounds. Players track the cars racing around the course on the overhead display and receive a guaranteed multiplier of the bet based on race results.
  • 5-Reel Mechanical Reel Games: Multimedia Games’ first-ever 5-reel mechanical reel games enjoy a unique configuration in the Company’s Player HD™ cabinet. The wider play area of the Player HD enables the use of the same player-popular 3-1/2 inch wide mechanical reels featured in traditional 3-reel mechanical reel games. The new, visually stunning 5-reel games include configurable reel backlighting and offer operators the ability to individually front light each reel. Multimedia Games is introducing its new series of 5-reel mechanical reel games with 3 themes – Dragon’s Wild®, Triples® and Jalapenny-o®.
  • 3-Reel Mechanical Reel Multi-Tier Progressive Game: Leveraging one of the Company’s most enduring proprietary brands, Mega Meltdown™ features a 3-reel, 1-line mechanical reel base game and a 6 tier progressive game that is sure to light a fire under players. The Mega Meltdown Progressive is awarded when the player bets the max and the Mega symbol lands on the payline on the first reel in a winning combination.
  • Meltdown Core Reaction and Safari Sunrise Apps: Multimedia Games will extend the availability of two of its popular proprietary titles with the debut of new Apps featuring Meltdown Core Reaction® and Safari Sunrise®. The new Apps were developed for Multimedia Games by 5000ft, Inc., an independent video game software developer based in Reno, NV, and are anticipated to be available to iPhone® and iPod Touch® users through the iTunes® App Store later this month for $1.99 each.
