Progressive Slot Machine Trial

Progressive Gaming International Corp. has gotten approval of a new slot machine jackpot system to be run as a trial in Las Vegas. The slot machine company said that they were pleased to be able to do the field trial at several locations in Vegas.

Progressive Gaming is a supplier of casino management systems software and games, and with this approval they can start testing one of those slot machine systems at several locations to see how it works out and if it is something they might be able to expand upon.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board had given Progressive permission to test the new software, it is their CasinoLink Jackpot Staton, which is a hardware and software product that links progressive slot machine jackpots, whether they be regular or “mystery.”

The slot machine trial will be hosted by two Vegas casinos initially, but those casinos will not be divulged to the public. They will run the field trial for sixty days, and 40 slot machines will be linked in. Once the trial is completed, the Board will rule on final approval, and if given, Progressive will be able to commercialize the program immediately in Nevada.

The approval comes on the heels of the announcement from Shuffle Master, Inc. where they said that they are planning on buying Progressive’s world wide table game division.
