Xplore Teams Up With Progressive Gaming International to Offer Wireless Gaming
AUSTIN, TX, Nov. 28 - Xplore Technologies Corp.
(TSX:XPL), an innovative leader in the rugged PC industry, teams up with
Progressive Gaming International Corporation (PGIC), a leading provider of
technologies used in the gaming industry, to offer customers wireless
gaming capabilities.
Xplore's iX104 rugged Tablet PC is used in conjunction with software
provided by PGIC that allows clients to wager on individual outcomes within
a sporting event such as, "will the next play be a pass or a rush?"
It is further intended that this solution will eventually be allowed to
extend to other areas of the casino, whether at the casino bar, restaurant
and even poolside.
"We wanted to provide a solution for gaming enthusiasts who wanted the
ability to wager and track their bets during games and events from anywhere
in a casino where allowed by regulations. We needed to find a hardware
product that was flexible and rugged enough to be handled by everyday
patrons but also had to function well with our software. After some
comprehensive research, the Xplore iX104 Tablet PC seemed the most logical
choice," stated Brandon Knowles, Vice President of Gaming Technology at
Progressive Gaming International.
According to Mark Holleran, President and CEO for Xplore, "We are
excited to be partnering with PGIC to offer this leading-edge technological
advancement to the gaming industry and public."
The complete application is in final stages of the regulatory approval
process at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. PGIC hopes to
be able to offer similar applications throughout the global gaming
industry.
