I
expect we can rest a bit easier now that the latest invention
for table games is out. The fact is that we have years
and years of looking for a formula to pay additional accumulated
prizes on the blessed roulette tables, when suddenly someone
with a few minutes in the industry arrives with that wet
behind the ears innocence that marks daring young guys,
and comes out with an answer to our prayers like a simple
revelation. Dennis Korthouwer, Technical Director of the
Dutch outfit Twice A Company said hello and showed me
his product that hit me like a breath of fresh air. |

The Jackpot
Roulette has literally turned the tables on our roulette game.
The concept is idiotically simple and because of this was so
close to our face that we just could not see it.
The idea is to pay a mystery jackpot to everybody who placed
their bet straight up on the winning number when the jackpot
hits. That simple! Of course, technology plays an important
role because the concept works by mean of a special Dolly with
patent pending that is placed on the winning number. The Dolly
sends a signal to an electronic field installed under the table
so that the computer may count the numbers and the games when
the system is in operation.
The system can be used on stand-alone tables or linked up for
better prizes, which may be on a high hit program for lots of
smaller prizes or high pay with fewer prizes. The operator decides
his poison, and the beauty of the system is that the players
do not have to pay for a side bet in order to take part. Can
you imagine your players going for prizes without having to
bet on them? This product is distributed by TCS John Huxley,
and Dennis is going to the four corners of the earth taking
the good news to the table guys.

COMPENDIUM: RIO SHOWS THE NEW SOUTH

Carnival
time at Tusk Resorts' new flagship
When I visited South Africa last week, after
some 12 years absence, my first port of call
was the offices of Tusk Resorts in the plush
residential area of Bryanstown in northern
Johannesburg.
During my years with Sun International the
Tusk properties were part of the regional
SunBop group, which had the Mmabatho Sun Resort
Hotel & Casino as the company's first
property in 1976, and where I had been the
Casino Manager for 3 years. At the time John
Barret was Regional Manager for the company's
outlying properties that covered an area from
Gaborone, Botswana in the north to Fish River
on the Indian Ocean in the south, and Swaziland
in the east. John had a large area to cover,
and he did the job with the panache and expertise
that were his trademark.
Eventually, some of the properties under John's
tutelage became Tusk Resorts, and under his
stewardship other properties have been developed
as the South African gaming franchise expanded.
Along with the new properties, the local South
Africans have |
|
|
|
|
|
developed
the skills that were in evidence all those years ago.
When John told me that one of the promising Tables' inspectors
in my old operation had developed into a casino manager
and had been appointed to run their new flagship, The
Rio Casino Resort in the Klerksdorp region of North West
Province, I felt a sense of pride in her achievements.
Ms Ipapeleng Abbott had made the grade, along with other
South African gaming professionals at casino properties
the length and breadth of their welcoming and beautiful
country.
The Rio, which opened at last week, has already turned
into a 'must-see' attraction in Klerksdorp, and caters
for a wide variety of tastes. It is based on the concept
of the exotic Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and
is full of vibrant colour and fun, with entertainment
for people of all ages.
The casino has 200 state of the art slot machines and
10 gaming tables, which feature the brand new e-FX Jackpot
Roulette developed in Holland. Dennis Korthouwer, Marketing
Director of the Play-Twice Company that produces this
exciting new roulette feature, was excited about The Rio
operation: "We worked very hard with John Barrett
for the casino opening and it went very well, and everyone
was very happy."
When I phoned Ipa to congratulate her on her operation
she most graciously reminded me of some telling moments
in her career when our management style provided useful
alternatives for her to follow.
John Barrett, Gaming Director for Tusk Resorts, has been
a tower of strentgh in the development of the gaming industry
in Southern Africa, and with his mischievous charm usually
has the last word on most matters. In this instance, however,
mere speech is insufficient to express his or anyone's
comments. The Rio Casino Resort proves to be his latest
statement, and is where Ipapeleng leads a team of gaming
professionals who are the future of South Africa.
