All Everi Games’ products at G2E 2022 are available now or expected to be commercially available in less than six months and include:

New Video Cabinet

Launching in early 2023, the Dynasty Vue cabinet features a unique, custom display that enables Everi’s designers to create game mechanics that players would typically experience on a portrait cabinet, while providing the sight lines comparable to a dual-screen cabinet, and the functionality and integrated base of a slant top cabinet. This innovative form factor features a custom 36-inch display and an integrated 27-inch top box, with distinctive dual-banded lighting for maximum attract value. The edge-lit digital button deck allows for increased game configurability and player communication with a dynamic play button and wireless mobile charging capability. The cabinet’s integrated base provides flexibility in banking options with a standard 28-inch footprint and new merchandising opportunities. Dynasty Vue will debut with four launch families, including the Combo Cash Series, Money Slam Series, Wild Wheel Series, and the High Rollin’ Gems Series – Everi’s first multi-game product.

Standard Video Content

More than 10 new themes will be featured on Everi’s Empire Flex cabinet including the Press Your Luck Series and Fu Blossom Series, which are both available on Everi’s premium TournEvent® Winners Circle bank of cabinets, part of TournEvent Everiway. These marquee banks feature synchronized content with enhanced sign packages that showcase theme-specific content. The Treasure Gates Series, Fortune Teller Series, Potion Explosion Series, and Banner Series, with persistent state features available in Class II and Class III, will also be available on the Empire Flex cabinet.

Standard Mechanical Content

Everi will introduce more than six new games on the latest addition to its three-reel mechanical portfolio Player Classic Signature which has performed strongly in the field since its first deployment earlier this year. The Platinum Signature Series, Crowns Diamond Respin Series, and Pay Upgrade Series, which introduces a persistence feature to the mechanical segment, will all be showcased at G2E 2022. These themes are reflective of Everi’s commitment to innovation in the mechanical space and highlight the game entertainment elements that stepper players appreciate – a math first focus, unique play mechanics, and dynamic art and audio.

Premium Content

Based on the iconic animated variety television show, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends will be presented on the Skyline Revolve cabinet, while Everi’s high-performing banked product Flex Fusion will showcase several original titles including two follow-on games for the high energy, tornadic themed Cashnado game, Storm Surge and Super Nova. Lift Off, with Locomotion and Starboard base themes, will also debut on Flex Fusion.

Everi will present two of its strongest performing third party brands – Little Shop of Horrors and Willie Nelson – in incredible 4K display on the Empire DCX cabinet, with Little Shop of Horrors Director’s Cut and Willie Nelson Live. Super Fiesta!, with its four Mexican style gambler centric base themes, and Fruit Ninja Frenzy, based on the popular mobile game Fruit Ninja, will be presented on the banked Empire Arena product.

TournEvent Everiway

Everi will showcase the gold standard in slot tournament solutions and the latest iteration of its award-winning TournEvent offering, TournEvent Everiway. All five versions of TournEvent Everiway will be available at G2E 2022 for customers to learn how these features are designed to improve ease of player access and to drive increased enthusiasm for slot tournament style play. The traditional group-style TournEvent Classic and the time flexible “sit-in-go,” on-demand TournEvent Now® will be presented along with TournEvent Winners Circle and TournEvent Cross Play, which enables customers to offer promotions across any combination of portrait or dual-screen cabinets. TournEvent Concierge, powered by Everi’s Trilogy loyalty platform, delivers a seamless slot tournament experience, simplifying tournament registration for staff and players.

The power of TournEvent will be on full display as Everi will host a charity slot tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 12, at 4 p.m. in the Company’s booth, #1150, where nearly $16,000 will be donated to the winners’ charities of choice.

  • CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
  • College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025
Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6  will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.
“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”
“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”
”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.
Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.
“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”
More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.
CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies.
