Excitement and prizes from Cammegh’s PowerPlay
PRODUCT NAME: PowerPlay MANUFACTURER: Cammegh PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The latest innovation from Cammegh is PowerPlay, a mystery bonus prize system for roulette that lets players see what they could win in return for a side bet. The company has designed a wheel turret in the form of a glass case that can contain anything from an expensive wristwatch to a gold bar to the keys of a BMW. Making use of the data it monitors through its Mercury 360 controller, such as wheel speed and direc- tion, speed of the ball etc, Cammegh has created a new random number generator that powers the PowerPlay bonus. One of its key features is its flexibility: it can be linked to a visible prize, or to a poker hand generator that awards prizes based on cards displayed on the screen. The prize winner - or winners - can be identified through the chip colour they are playing or by, for example, the colour of the winning number; the hit rate of bonus is of course configurable and as it works off side bets, it does not impact the maths of the roulette table. ALSO ON THE STAND: Having received its Nevada licence in May, Cammegh has scored some early wins at major resorts, including The Venetian and MGM Grand, both of which have installed Mercury 360
roulette wheels as well the BillBoard display system, both of which will be at G2E. The company will also launch its latest Super HD BillBoard display, with a resolution twice that of HD. Also look out for the new BillBoard display controller, which has been reduced in volume by 90 per cent, and for the colour-changing Mercury 360 Aurora, which can also ran- domly award bonus prizes, among many other products.
