Octavian and eBet united at G2E Asia ahead of acquisition completion

Exhibiting collectively for their first G2E Asia, this event and visitors to stand 490, will see the launch of TIKIT+™ from eBet, as well as the premiere of Octavian’s revolutionary Maverick flat-pack gaming machine in Asia.

TIKIT+, the result of a joint venture with eCash, is a technological breakthrough that unlocks new business potential in older slot machines by enabling TITO (Ticket In Ticket Out) functionality. This will be a welcome relief to countless operators whose businesses rely heavily on older slot machines that are incompatible with standard TITO technology.

Also expected to generate huge interest is Octavian’s flat-pack Maverick 1000 gaming machine and games kit, now with two new games – Diamond Dice and Pioneers. The revolutionary self-assembly design of the Maverick kit allows local machine manufacturers to market a state-of-the-art machine to operators for little more than the price of a pre-owned machine.

Alongside these solutions will be other innovative games and systems already presented jointly at ICE earlier this year. These include ExtraCash mini-jackpot and ‘staffless’ payout system, Tournament and Your Money Prize add-ons for the ExtraCash system, Freedom™, a powerful card-based cashless system, and AssistSuite™, a fully integrated gaming floor management system.

Commenting on how the Octavian and eBet deal will benefit gaming operators across the globe, Harmen Brenninkmeijer, founder of Octavian International said: “The product range we plan to show at Macau demonstrates perfectly the combined expertise and strength of Octavian and eBet. Customers in all of our markets will benefit enormously from the extended product range, and from new developments in the pipeline.”

Tony Toohey, CEO and Managing Director of eBet, added: “eBet is about to be catapulted to an exciting level of growth through new product initiatives. We will be exceptionally well positioned to achieve strong growth throughout Asia-Pacific, as well as in other developed and emerging markets worldwide.”
