Aristocrat Confirms Hybrid Casino Floor Strategy Supporting Serial and G2S Networks

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Jun 30, 2011) - Aristocrat's nCompass™, a next generation media window platform, brings future functionality to legacy slot floors. This proven technology connects EGMs to casino systems, and enables advanced multi-media content to be played on any video slot machine, regardless of manufacturer, that is equipped with a touch screen.

Leveraging a separate hardware-based central processing unit, and a modular approach to mixing system-driven video data, nCompass fills the media window with boundless amounts of rich content including: SpeedMedia™ advanced bonusing, real-time promotions and glittering advertising campaigns.

IGT's recent announcement reinforces Aristocrat's longstanding Slot Machine Interface Board (SMIB) and Player User Interface (PUI) evolutionary implementation strategy. In the interest of deploying system-driven applications across the entire casino floor, both companies recognize the need for backwards compatibility, with existing floor configurations and legacy EGMs.

Nick Khin, President of Aristocrat Americas, said, "Aristocrat is sensitive to the needs of our customers, especially during this tough economic time. We cannot expect casinos to replace their entire slot mix, nor rebuild their entire IT infrastructure overnight, in order to take advantage of networked technologies. In our nCompass unit, we offer our clients a means to deploy powerful Oasis 360™ system applications across existing assets."

All of the latest products within the Oasis 360 suite have been architected with this philosophy in mind. With Oasis 360, you set the pace, we get you there.

Aristocrat's nCompass technology is currently live on casino floors in multiple jurisdictions. For more information regarding nCompass and the Oasis 360 Casino Management System, please contact your Aristocrat sales representative.
