Featuring a widescreen 23” HD display, Qorex terminal’s modular design allows it to be networked and configured anywhere on the gaming floor, where players can simultaneously wager on live and automated games such as Baccarat and Roulette.

Steph Nel, TCSJOHNHUXLEY Managing Director for the Americas comments, “The TCSJOHNHUXLEY team has completed several key projects in Ontario over the past few years as the region’s casinos have embarked on a modernisation process. This has included building and supplying over 250 gaming tables, 40 Saturn Roulette Wheels and over 100 winning number displays. As a result of these installations, most casinos are already future proofed for Qorex Gaming Terminals. TCSJOHNHUXLEY has been working closely with the operators in Ontario for AGCO approval. Now this has been achieved we’re really excited to see the platform go live around the region when our customers are ready to open.”
