TouchSense Gives Slot Machine Feedback

Unicum has partnered with 3M United Kingdom to develop touch screen slot machines that will give feedback about the players. Unicum, a slot machine specialist, is using TouchSense feedback from Immersion, and has been showing off their new slot machine ideas at G2E 2006 this week. 3M Touch Systems is the exclusive manufacturer of the new technology that will be available to the slot machine market.

“We have been aware of TouchSense technology for over a year and in November 2005 entered discussions with 3M to see how we might work together, in conjunction with their new relationship with Immersion Corporation,” commented Peter Moffitt, VP Gaming at Unicum. “The technology has enormous potential for adding an entirely new dimension for the player…a physical response to the interaction.”

The result of innovative design and high end testing is a slot machine that will keep the player hooked on the gaming experience. It also allows slot machine manufacturers and developers to use the responses received to create bigger and better slot machines for their customers. The new system will be available in slot machines in 2007.
