The Suzo-Happ group have released a new generation of toppers for casino and AWP machines. Toppers are used as a lure toplayers to draw their attention to the machine; Suzo’s R&D department was given a brief to comeup with new technology to improve and advance toppers beyong the first generation, which were individually controlled by the host machine. Well, not one advance but two have come out of their research.
The first is a move to colour (RGB) toppers. Now the toppers can be fitted with multi-coloured LED’s – using ultra-bright nichia LED’s.
The second solution is the networking of toppers – up to eight toppers can be linked together. This technology uses computer network patch cables, allowing the toppers to be synchronized. Casinos can even link this synchronization to create unique patterns, for example a snake pattern that runs from one topper to the next.
The LED’s Suzo has chosen are current driven for an improved, longer life. The communication of the synchronized toppers is via ccTalk, so OEM’s can easily control and create new commands to the toppers, allowed a whole range of possibilities. For the RGB toppers, different colour combinations for flashing pattern can easily be selected. Therefore, a topper can flash with unique patterns for different states – such as prize winning, playing and standby.
Will the plans for Russia's 'remote' gaming areas go ahead as the State Duma has described?
