– WIRELESS PERSONAL BETTING DEVICE TARGETING CASINOS –

 

LONDON, UK– 04 FEBRUARY 2008 – BetXTech, a niche focused software development and system integration firm launched XSS-Mobile, its new mobile sports betting solution last week at the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) in London. The company also showcased their commercially available No-Risk, Self-Service Sports Betting kiosk terminals, and announced its newly developed casino slot ticket redemption solution; an IGT EZ Pay integrated Voucher Redemption Terminal (VRT) which will be ready for delivery next month.

BetXTech Mobile Betting Device

The idea for XSS-Mobile and a personal mobile betting device came to the company last year after meetings with several internationally-based casino operators who shared the business requirements for such a solution. The operators wanted to allow their patrons to have the ability to freely bet wherever they were located within the establishments. “We believe that the flexibility of mobile betting is a very attractive proposition for any gaming operator and their clients, and the 2008 ICE show was the perfect venue for us to announce the wireless delivery of our sports betting solution”, says Melcom Copeland, a Director at BetXTech.

XSS-Mobile can run on a variety of handheld mobile devices such as Tablets, PCs, and PDAs which are linked by a 802.11 wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network to a secure server hosted by BetXTech. The company revealed its wireless sports betting solution at ICE on an attractive and easily portable Touch Screen Tablet PC with a 12.1″ monitor.

The solution offers casinos different practical applications – Casinos can equip their employees with a ‘walkabout’ sportsbook solution to take bets from customers, or the mobile betting device could be distributed directly to customers who are interested in placing bets in designated public areas of the Hotel & Casino resort such as swimming pools, bars, or lounges.

BetXTech
has been in the business of developing betting software the past 3 years, and has concentrated a large part of its efforts on delivering no-risk, retail-based solutions to betting shops and casinos. The company initially launched their flag-ship commercial Sportsbook product, the XSS-EPOS betting terminal, at the 2006 Betting Show in Birmingham, UK. The company has just recently successfully completed 1-year trials of the solution in association with several licensed betting operations throughout the UK and Ireland, with significant results.

Because of BetXTech’s electronic point of sale (EPOS) software and hardware integration expertise, the company was approached by leading casino operator, Regency International, to develop a bespoke slot ticket redemption terminal that would support cashless slot machine gaming (TITO – Ticket In Ticket Out) at Regency’s newly established Romania based casino. Regency’s slot machines are equipped with Future Logic GEN2 printers, and BetXTech’s XSS-VRT terminals will be capable of processing the slot ticket jackpot vouchers through IGT EZ-Pay using JCM American Corporation UBA Series validator and a high volume cash dispenser, featuring hefty 3000 note capacity cassettes with four different currency denominations. The VRT solution is to be delivered to Regency International beginning of Q1 2008. BetXTech Casino Slot Voucher Redemption Terminal

The boutique firm made the decision to become an exhibitor in this year’s ICE show in order to seek out strategic partners interested in distributing the company’s self-service sports betting and voucher redemption terminals to casinos. “Our decision to attend ICE 2008 this year as an exhibitor will surely prove to be one of the company’s major decisions leading to future business. We feel a good number of established casino suppliers will take an interest in our innovative and cost effective solutions as complimentary offerings to their existing portfolio”, says Melcom Copeland, a Director of BetXTech.

BetXTech will be showcasing its solutions at STAND #3032 at the International Casino Exhibition.

September 24th, 2007

Internet Sportsbetting Kiosk Solution Geared Towards Bookmakers, Casinos, Pubs and Sports Bars

London, UK, 24 September 2007 – Leading Sports Betting software solution provider BetXTech officially announced today the successful deployment of their Internet Sportsbetting Kiosk, XSS-EPOS™ in partnership with Better - one of the UK’s fastest growing high-street bookmakers.

The trial deployment has initially launched at Better’s busiest shop located at Victoria Street Station. The introduction of the new cash terminal software solution clearly sets apart this independent who has been offering kiosk terminal betting through its Betterex brand since May 2006.

Better now has the upper hand in potentially acquiring even more new customers from competing bookmakers by offering more value bets and prices offered by the BetXTech driven self-service kiosk terminals. Better’s innovative strategy is to offer more value to its customers through a broader range of Sports, Events, and betting markets not readily available over the counter. Better has taken the position that it is all about offering choice to the customer. Better’s Managing Director Ian Hogg says, “The feedback from our customers so far has been all good and they can see the kiosk offering different betting opportunities to what a regular betting shop can provide.”

XSS-EPOS™ kiosks are capable of generating betting revenue on a continuous 24/7 basis. The cash or magnetic card based funding mechanisms instills player confidence while ensuring 100% customer and operator security. The terminals are fitted with attractively robust and sturdy enclosures, touchscreen displays, along with magnetic card readers, note acceptors, and bar coding bet slip printers.

“Partnering with what is no doubt going to become a sizable independent bookmaker like Better had been fantastic, in particular, working closely Ian Hogg and his staff. Ian from the beginning clued into the unique selling points of our offering, and he was keen to extend the benefits to his customers: a wider Range of Markets, Place Betting, Lay Bets, In Running, and Ease of use of the solution,” says Boris Ahrendt, Director of Product Development at BetXTech.

BetXTech is currently seeking revenue sharing partnerships with other innovative and forward thinking ventures looking to offer more choice and value to their customers.
