Six players are better than one
Multi-player games attract the next
generation
Did you know half of Generation Y is old enough
to gamble? More than 70 million strong, this is the
same generation that thrives on social networks, lives
to “twitter,” and exists in an exceedingly interactive
space. Is your casino ready to cater to this group?
Tapping into the holy grail of gaming – that next
wave of players – is paramount. Introducing them to
a gaming space they can relate to is vital. IGT’s M-P
Series electronic table products can help. These
exciting new themes offer the social interactivity of a
traditional table game, but with an electronic twist.
“We have noticed both younger players and
traditional slot players adapting to electronic table
games,” IGT Table Games Director Tim Richards said.
“And with the center display, the players are all drawn
to the same outcome and therefore the results elicit
more of a common community response.”
The concept of a social network is simple: it
consists of people and commonalities. Consider your
table games mini-networks. People with a common
interest (playing and winning a particular game) come
together and create a social group of sorts. And odds
and strategy aside, most table games players thrive
on the interaction and consider it an important part of
the experience. Now imagine a more defined node –
a younger player who not only appreciates the social
interaction of a table game, but
seeks novelty. He’s going
to check out your
new M-P Series
product. And
he’s going to
like it.
“These games do great things for the player
and the operator,” Richards said. “Many casinos in
non-table games jurisdictions can offer something
they couldn’t before, and players are exposed to a
new, innovative table game experience. Plus, these
products are great for players who have always
wanted to try their luck at a table, but were just
too intimidated. The belief is that the players are
more comfortable in this setting due to it not being
as ‘public’ to learn the game and possibly make
mistakes.”
The next generation player was raised on
interactivity, and expects more from gaming
entertainment than ever before. IGT’s M-P Series
games provide the social, technologically charged
experience new players are looking for in a casino
game. Tap into the holy grail and get an
IGT M-P Series game on your floor.
