AUSTIN, Texas & LAS VEGAS — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 22, 2014 — Multimedia Games Holding Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGAM) (“Multimedia Games” or the “Company”) will bring its largest-ever, and most diverse display of new products, including 100 unique new games and three larger-than-life new cabinet designs, to the 14th annual Global Gaming Expo (G2E®) at the Sands Expo & Convention Center (Booth #1165) in Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 30-October 2, 2014. In addition to the highly anticipated debut of the fully-integrated Platinum MPX™ and The Texan HDX™ which takes the Company’s highly differentiated video gaming content to a whole new level at G2E 2014, Multimedia Games will also host the championship round of its unique 2014 National TournEvent of Champions® which will conclude on Wednesday night (October 1) at XS Nightclub at Wynn/Encore Las Vegas with players competing for a share of $500,000 in cash prizes.
“Our G2E 2014 product line-up will showcase the creative spirit of the entire Austin-based Multimedia Games team while clearly highlighting our ability to deliver our brand of differentiated gaming entertainment to our customers,” said Patrick Ramsey, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games. “We are excited to show customers our most extensive lineup of new products, including 100 unique games, three new cabinet platforms and further updates to our award-winning TournEvent® slot tournament product. In particular, our new cabinets are set to grab players’ attention, bringing an all-new Multimedia Games entertainment experience to casino slot floors. The Platinum MPX is now making its initial debut on casino floors, and at G2E we will roll out exciting new game themes for this immersive gaming cabinet, including Dracula™, which we believe highlights the supreme talent and unique imagination of our design teams. The Texan HDX, our new unique for-sale or premium participation cabinet, is an eight-foot tall cabinet straight out of the heart of Texas, which we expect will take our growing library of video content to the next level thanks to its twin 42-inch widescreen LCD panels and two-person bench seating. And, our Skyline™ series of games elevates the mechanical reel gaming experience by marrying classic slot game styling with interactive lighting and an eye-catching top box.
“Importantly, we are bringing to the Sands Convention & Expo Center a suite of new products that will almost immediately be available to generate returns for our customers’ businesses. The first games on the Skyline and Platinum MPX platforms are appearing on slot floors today while The Texan HDX is expected to launch within the next quarter. In addition, 33 of the 100 new titles on display at G2E 2014 will be available in the next six months, as we have successfully ramped up our ability to create and commercialize new titles. We believe that current and potential customers will clearly see that G2E 2014 is our biggest show ever and expect to show all attendees how to PLAY LOUDER®.”
2014 National TournEvent of Champions Concludes; 2015 will Feature the Million Dollar Event
Multimedia Games’ fast-growing National TournEvent of Champions will again take center stage at G2E 2014 as the year’s nationwide search for the country’s best slot tournament player comes to a close on the evening of October 1. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the TournEvent of Champions team – led by The Money Man® – two busses crisscrossed the nation, covering 50,000 miles and visiting 103 casinos in 23 states. These stops attracted over 220,000 TournEvent players in semi-final and in-casino final events, ultimately identifying the 123 finalists who will battle at XS Nightclub at the Wynn/Encore Las Vegas Resort for a share of $500,000 in cash prizes (including a $200,000 top prize) and the title of National Champion.
The National TournEvent of Champions is powered by the Company’s
award-winning TournEvent slot tournament system, deployed in over
250 casinos nationwide with over 4,000 gaming units as of June 30, 2014.
Featuring overhead leaderboards and in-cabinet cameras, TournEvent
ramps up the slot floor excitement, as players can see their name and
face on the big screen. Multimedia Games’ TournEvent system is
available with 14 tournament game titles including an array of seasonal
titles that can entertain players all year long, provides one-click
conversion from in-revenue operation to out-of-revenue tournaments,
offers single round and multi-round events, and delivers a number of
fresh and exciting interactive games. At G2E 2014, the Company
will also debut a new configuration for TournEvent that is
perfect for smaller locations, featuring a circular layout with accent
light dividers and bases along with an eye-catching, rotating 55-inch
overhead sign.
