US – TCSJohnHuxley installs Saturn Glo in Las Vegas
By Phil - 12 June 2017
TCSJohnHuxley has recently installed its latest innovation, the Saturn Glo roulette wheel into two Las Vegas casinos.
First unveiled at G2E last year, the Saturn Glo incorporates the same cutting-edge features as the acclaimed Saturn roulette wheel, but with the addition of LED technology providing in-rim lighting colour changes according to what’s happening in the game. Designed to literally ‘light up’ the game, Saturn Glo can be programmed to indicate game status and features an exciting array of attract modes in a variety of colours.
It was these such features that caught the attention of two Las Vegas casinos – the Tropicana Las Vegas and the Plaza Hotel & Casino. Both casinos could immediately see the benefits that Saturn Glo provides, by bringing added excitement to the gaming floor through eye-catching LED illuminated technology, as well as providing additional security by highlighting key stages of the game to dealers, pit bosses and surveillance staff.
John Fort, Vice President of Table Games, Tropicana Las Vegas, has placed the Saturn Glo wheels center stage on the main gaming floor. He said: “We were really excited to be the first property in Las Vegas to install the Saturn Glo wheel. These eye-catching additions have proved to be very popular with players and staff alike. We’re delighted with them – they’re great and everybody loves them!”
The Plaza Hotel and Casino also chose Saturn Glo wheels and achieved another first by combining them with Blaze Roulette tables, becoming the first casino in Las Vegas to install this new innovation. TCSJohnHuxley’s Blaze LED surface technology uses patented technology to deliver flexibility, reliability and graphic capabilities like never before. Using energy efficient LED lights that are fitted below the surface of the gaming table, Blaze displays unique ‘attract sequences’ and custom-themed animations, while also highlighting winning numbers. When combined with the Saturn™ Glo wheel, players have even greater visibility to see each stage of the game with text prompts on the layout such as ‘Place your bets’, ‘Finish Betting’ and ‘No More Bets’ that are also highlighted on the game grid with the same colour changes shown on the wheel.
LaTicia Carter, Ambassador Training Manager, The Plaza Hotel and Casino added: “We are delighted with the visual impact that the Saturn Glo wheels and Roulette Blaze tables have made to the gaming floor. Players are immediately attracted to the LED lights and colour changing sequences, and love how easy it is to see every stage of the game.”
With a choice of single or double table configurations, Blaze offers an array of options to meet any casino need.
