Trinity
ABOUT
The progressive system makes possible progressive games (and jackpots) at one or several gaming tables within one casino or several casinos.
The system comprises: a wooden table, 6 player terminals, 1 table terminal, a 17'' LCD monitor and software (i.e., the progressive game software and the Web Admin application). The Trinity progressive system gives casinos a competitive advantage, as well as improves their chances of retaining existing and winning new players.
By increasing game speed and prolonging the time spent by individual players casinos can increase their revenues. Implementation of the progressive system is simple and the rules of the progressive game easy to understand, so there are no additional costs in addition to the purchase price.

COMPONENTS
Trinity, the system enabling progressive games at poker tables, comprises the following components:
The table terminal allows dealers to manage the progressive game. Using the table terminal, dealers can enter players' buy-ins, record card exchanges, start and end the game, and record jackpots.
The table terminal screen shows the current status of the progressive game and status text.
The blue buttons numbered 1 to 6 are equipped with light emitting diodes (LED) and assist dealers in managing the six player stations.
The yellow buttons numbered 0 to 9, and the C button, serve dealers in selecting parameters.
The black JP, START and END buttons help dealers manage the progressive game and are equipped with a red and green LED.
The table terminal also has a built-in RFID card reader that dealers use to log in.
The player terminal allows players to participate in the progressive game. Each player station has its own terminal.
In order to play the progressive game, a player must first buy credits. He/she does this by giving the dealer a certain amount of money. The dealer, using the table terminal, then enters relevant credits for the players. During the game, players can always check their credits on the terminal.
Players place progressive bets by pressing the BET PROGRESSIVE button, which is lit green (active) only when the game is open. Pressing the Bet Progressive button switches its light to red, which indicates to the player that the bet has been placed successfully.
There are three blue lights on the upper curve of the player terminal, which show the number of cards exchanged by the player during one game. The number of cards exchanged is important as it determines the jackpot amount. The LCD monitor shows the current progressive jackpots and jackpot history (amounts and locations), as well as other information. Its colour scheme can be adapted to suit the interior design of the casino. Casino logos can also be added.
The gaming table is perfect in terms of ergonomics and design. It is made of two-colour wood and has golden details.
The gaming table comes in two heights, 82 or 92 centimetres, whilst its edging can be adapted to suit any casino's particular requirements. Casinos can choose from among a wide spectrum of colours and three materials: leather, artificial leather and micro-fibre.
The cloth comes in two versions, wool or micro-fibre. Casinos can also choose between the standard or custom-made graphics, and has their logo printed on it.

BENEFITS
Attract new players and increase play
Introduction of an additional, progressive game on classic tables can substantially increase player interest, particularly if it offers greater possibilities for winning.
Players play to win money, to relax, to beat co-players or the dealer, or to enjoy the game and the company of others. The Trinity progressive game offers them all of the above and is therefore well played. Greater bets in turn increase progressive jackpots, making the game even more attractive.
Statistics show that the number of live game players has been decreasing for years now, and that those remaining are more and more demanding. Compared with slot machine winnings those that can be won playing live games are small and not interesting. One of the reasons for the declining numbers of players is doubtless the decades old 'menu' and absence of technical improvements.
This results in player dissatisfaction, who then usually switch to the more attractive slot machines. With our Trinity product, you can reverse this trend and increase your profits: satisfied players are more likely to make repeat visits and bet more.
Increase poker table revenues
Revenues can be increased either through an increased number of games per hour, or through reduced costs of chip handling. The Trinity progressive system offers both.
Players do not like crowded tables as too many players slow down the game. By reducing the number of player stations by one, you can increase player comfort as well as speed up the game.
Trinity is a product that enables you to run the basic game upgraded by a progressive one: this increases the number of games played per hour and thus the progressive jackpot.
Trinity offers electronic bet acceptance, which again increases play � just as credit card payments increase spending as compared to cash payments. Having the possibility to place electronic bets, players make their betting decision much faster.
All of the above increases player satisfaction and play, and thus revenues generated at poker tables.
Eliminate unnecessary costs
Electronic bet acceptance eliminates chip handling, which means that casinos now need a smaller stock of chips and at the same time reduce eliminates costs of chip transfers between gaming tables and the cage. Moreover, they can also assign staff previously tasked with chip handling to other posts.
Not only players, but also casino employees, like the ergonomically-designed and comfortable Trinity table. Comfortable working conditions eliminate their aches and pains, and thus absences. And as everyone knows, improved employee satisfaction positively affects the ambience and thus customer satisfaction.
