Interblock Showcases Technology Combined with Innovation at 2021 Global Gaming Expo

 

Interblock, worldwide leading developer and supplier of luxury electronic table games (“ETGs”) displayed its full product suite, designed to attract new and existing players through various distribution methods, at the 2021 Global Gaming Expo (“G2E”) in booth #1239.

Global CEO John Connelly said, “This year’s G2E was in many ways one of the most important shows in recent history. The market was in need of innovation to help address an apparent shift within the casino industry, due to COVID. Increased challenges with labor force and operational efficiencies have driven an unprecedented acceleration within the ETG segment. Interblock continues to invest heavily in new forms of technology designed to meet this demand, achieving increased handle and house advantage while reducing operating expenses for our casino partners.”  

Interblock’s Stadium Environments Showcase Modularity and Scalability

At G2E, the Company’s Stadium product line demonstrated modularity and scalability. This could be seen through the new HALO video ring, a massive 44-foot video wall, and its traditional stadium offering. Stadiums can be configured with any number of table games in automated, dealer assist, and video formats, giving patrons the option of playing up to four games simultaneously in a number of forms.

The next step in the Stadium suite of products is Pulse Arena. At G2E, Pulse Arena showcased an immersive gaming destination designed to attract new players to the casino floor while driving new revenue from those players. Pulse Arena delivers a hybrid experience of entertainment with a DJ booth, a light package that can be changed with a touch of a button, and social interaction that is highly customizable to meet any operator’s needs.

Connelly said, “We have seen stadium technology connect patrons to casino floors in ways never before seen; offering a unique resort experience where players can interact within a social environment. The Interblock Stadium allows guests to play, socialize and migrate their entertainment experience onto the casino floor, in a unique fashion.”

New Feature-Rich Software Delivers Higher Handle and Hold Percentage for Operators

The full-featured Global Version (“GV”) software is Interblock’s new, easy-to-navigate graphical user interface (“GUI”) offering a variety of features and functionalities benefiting casino operators and their players, including tournaments, promotions, an education mode for beginnings, simultaneous wagering with up to four games within a Stadium, dealer tipping features, a host of new Blackjack side bets, Live Craps, the Interblock exclusive DAI BACC game, and much more. This proven technology is increasing the handle and hold percentage of ETGs across the country.

Live Craps Table Creates New Gaming Experiences for Players

Interblock’s Live Craps table was also on display within Stadiums and in a standalone format. This first-of-its-kind, dealer-assisted table provides an exciting opportunity to shoot real dice on a Craps table. When it is the player’s turn to shoot the dice to initiate the game, the dealer will call on the selected player to step up to the table to be the shooter. After the dealer verifies the shooter’s result and enters it into the dealer console, the shooter may roll the dice again or the dealer may choose another shooter among the available players.

The innovative Live Craps table delivers even more ways for patrons to play this exciting community game by replicating a Craps table environment without the pressure or intimidation of a traditional Craps table, and provides operators a new way to offer Craps within a Stadium, or create a Live Craps ETG table in a standalone format.

New Universal Cabinet Form-Factors Make Their Debut

The Universal Cabinet (“UC”) suite was demonstrated in seven different form-factors at G2E, including new forms of virtual Blackjack, a live video feed multi-game, Big Six, and Craps. UC is one of Interblock’s breakthrough ETGs that offer an entirely new way for players to interact with table games. It supports six different table games, including Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat, Big Six, and Sic Bo, and provides a one-on-one gameplay experience by allowing players to set the pace of their own game.

Modern Spin on Roulette ETGs Showcase New Paytables: Golden Ball Roulette and Lucky Ball Roulette

Finally, Interblock’s Golden Ball Roulette and Lucky Ball Roulette were demonstrated on both MiniStar and Universal Cabinet products. These innovative Roulette games are themed around its unique side bets, adding more fun and excitement to the base game. Beautiful sign packages and new lights, animations, and sounds complete this standalone product offering.

In closing, Connelly said, “With the support of our partners and customers over the last six years, we have had the fortunate opportunity to innovate and diversify our product offering, which has been designed to attract various demographics through alternative distribution channels. The depth of our offerings has attracted both new and existing players to a more profitable and entertaining form of gaming. In many ways, this is one of the few areas capable of competing with online gaming, currently accelerating within North America.”

Bruce Smith Enterprise and The Cordish Companies Break Ground on New Live! Casino & Hotel in Petersburg, Virginia

 

Bruce Smith Enterprise and The Cordish Companies celebrated the groundbreaking of the new LIVE! CASINO & HOTEL VIRGINIA in Petersburg. The milestone officially commences construction on a transformative project that will generate billions of dollars in economic benefits and spinoff development, create thousands of new jobs, and set a new standard for gaming, hotels, and entertainment in the Commonwealth. Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia is part of a larger $1.4 billion master plan by the partnership, scheduled to be developed in phases, that will bring a world-class mixed-use resort destination to Petersburg.

Executives from Bruce Smith Enterprise, The Cordish Companies, and Cordish Gaming were joined by Petersburg City Mayor Sam Parham and members of Petersburg City Council, Virginia State Senator Lashrecse Aird, Virginia State Delegate Kim Taylor, and many other business and community leaders at the project site in Petersburg. The development site, ideally located on Brasfield Parkway at the intersection of Wagner Road and Interstate I-95 just 20 miles south of Richmond, will provide easy access on and off the East Coast’s major north-south interstate.

“It has been a source of immense satisfaction and pride to partner in this incredible development. For far too long people have simply driven by the City of Petersburg, but today marks the beginning of a new era in which Petersburg will become a prime destination. This pivotal project will ignite tourism, create jobs, and ultimately deliver on the promise of greater opportunity and upward mobility for local families. As a champion of Petersburg and its residents, I am happily confident that this historic development will uplift, empower, and enrich this community for years to come,” said Bruce Smith, founder of Bruce Smith Enterprise.

Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia is slated to open in 2027. A temporary gaming facility will open by the end of 2025 to immediately begin creating an estimated 500 new jobs, vendor opportunities and economic benefits for the City. In its first 10 years, the project is expected to generate $2.8 billion in economic stimulus to the region; $504 million in tax revenues including $240 million to the City of Petersburg; $802 million in economic benefits during construction; $201 million in annual economic benefits each year after opening; and 7500 new jobs including 6100 during construction and 1400 new permanent jobs.

“Today marks a monumental day for The Cordish Companies as we expand our Live! brand into the Central Virginia region with the development of Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia. Our company is a national leader in successfully developing and managing large-scale urban revitalization projects across the country. Live! Casino & Hotel will be a transformative development that will bring a world-class gaming and entertainment experience to millions of visitors, create significant new jobs, and generate millions of dollars in economic benefits for the community that will provide a beneficial impact for generations. We look forward to making an immediate impact on the region with the construction of a temporary gaming facility that will be operational before the end of 2025, so that we can begin creating jobs, vendor opportunities and economic benefits for the City,” said Zed Smith, Chief Operating Officer for The Cordish Companies.
