Macao Gaming Show announce 'bigger and better' Slot Experience

The Slot Experience Center (SEC), at this year's Macao Gaming Show (MGS), is set to become one of the most influential test beds in the industry for the world's leading Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) manufacturers. Visitors to November's

'By Asia for the World' exhibition will have the opportunity to test drive the latest machines and provide crucial feedback to participating manufacturers. Players, together with senior level slot experts will evaluate the games across a number of criteria including game theme, graphics, sound and the overall playing experience with awards going to the EGM manufacturers who receive the highest number of votes. In 2013 Bally Technologies 'Titanic' swept the awards, recording the highest number of votes for Best Music and Audio; Best Game Theme; Best Users Experience and Best Game Graphics.

David So, Slot Experience Center Manager said: "The Slot Experience Center was an idea created by MGS to help Electronic Gaming Machine manufacturers receive important feedback from slot players. In 2013 877 professional and general players voted on the 40 models which were installed by the world's major EGM manufactures all of whom received valuable feedback which was fed back into their R&D teams. Our plan is to grow this popular feature with more machines and more game styles and to introduce new voting categories in order to more accurately reflect the diversity of today's EGM sector.  We are also inviting senior level slot experts from major casino operators to form an industry review panel in order to provide professional feedback."
