| The
Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo set the stage for new
comer Rival Gaming to make a huge splash in the interactive gaming
industry. The biggest emphasis for the upstart gaming company is
the compatibility of their product with the Mac and PDA platforms.
Rival Gaming’s new product
is called i-Slots. This year’s Global Interactive Gaming Summit and
Expo was held at Montreal’s Palais des Congrès and i-Slots may have
been the most impressive product there. Rival claims to have
radically updated the traditional slot game with iSlots. They have
added exciting extra like animated video clips, interactive bonus
games, and intriguing storylines that unfolds as the game
progresses.
The expo was not so much a debut as it was a showcase for iSlots.
Online casinos owned by the 400 Group out of Curacao have made the
games available to the public for weeks now. The 400 Group owns
four online casinos.
The Managing Director at Rival Gaming, Scott Giesbrecht, is proud of
is company’s product. “Many software developers have been claiming
that their games are interactive,” he boasts. “But when we looked
at slots, we saw that we had a real opportunity to offer players
something that was far more captivating and more fun than anything
they’d ever seen.”
Rival Gaming stands
confidently behind two large advantages over the rest of the
competition in the video slots industry. The first innovative
advantage of Rival’s software is that operators are capable of
viewing their reports on the PDA or Blackberry. This allows them
access to their casino data from anywhere in the world. The second
advantage is that Rival licensees have access to the 15 million Mac
owners worldwide, because their casino software is fully
downloadable to Windows and AppleMac.
The i-Slot itself proved to
be enough to draw crowds to Rival’s booth at GIGSE. Vice President
of Corporate Marketing at Rival, Ken McCormack, said of i-Slot,
“People are going to have to see it to believe it. We’re talking
about something that not only makes playing a single game far more
entertaining, but one that’s going to keep players coming back for
more.”
