14 June 2007 14/6/07 - EELEX: 16th anniversary of gaming's 3rd largest event
This year, on October 3-5, will see the 16-th anniversary of the world’s 3-d biggest trade show EELEX, one of the central events in the gaming and entertainment industry. In 2007, EELEX is a must more than ever. After “the wild market era” gaming industry in Russia is trying the taste of “real things”, it has a strong legislative base and is ready for the next slot boom at the background of an unbelievable economic rise in the country.
EELEX: a great gaming venue
The unique potential and perspectives of the Russian gaming market are astonishing: it has 400 000 gaming machines half of which needs to be replaced or exchanged, thus a huge demand for new ones. Russia remains a great retail, stock and used equipment market with unique products diversity and highly flexible offers from local producers and distributors. Russia is a crucial part of CIS countries consolidated market including an incredibly blooming market of the Ukraine. The 4 selected gaming zones inside Russia soon will need more equipment – from on-line systems to accessories. Russian operators themselves are energetically exploring the markets of Latin America, Africa and Europe thus taking an active part in the world’s global business process.
EELEX headlines amusement industry
In the entertainment sphere the situation is also extremely promising: hundreds of 100 000 – 500 000 population cities in Russia require new spaces and equipment for amusement activities; hundreds of being-built and already finished trade centers across the country are willing to serve as bases for amusement locations with a great increase of demand for all kinds of equipment. Soon there will be much more such locations – from tiny “family” centers to huge amusement parks.
EELEX rules!
So, what is EELEX and why it is important to be there? It is an ideal meeting place for the industry elite at the world class Crocus Expo Center in Moscow – one of the most dynamic world’s capitals to date. It is hundreds of exhibitors, countless chances to make new and revive the old business contacts, fantastic parties and, of course, a matter of prestige.
A Congress during the Expo will introduce governors of the 4 country regions recently selected as special gaming zones – the so-called “Russian Las-Vegases”; there the industry experts will speak of the gaming legislation aspects in Russia.
It goes without saying that the Russian gaming and amusement industry is entering a new phase. That’s why it is so important to be at the Russian market today, and EELEX is its key. Being at EELEX means being at the Russian market.

01 June 2007 1/6/07 - Gaelco release Radikal Darts
Gaelco, in its commitment with research and development of new products and to offer to our costumers the most advanced technology, presents its new release, the Radikal Darts® Dart Machine.
Radikal Darts® is the result of years of hard work, constant improvement and a permanent focus on to achieve a Dart Machine able to open new game dimensions to the players, whether habitual or new ones and, of course, to the operators.
That’s why Radikal Darts® presentstechnological novelties never before achieved and we can proudly say that nowadays, there is not any product like Radikal Darts® in the market.
If we speak ofhardware, we can easily see how our Dart Machine presents a 17” TFT Screen with a television quality, display, vandal free and user friendly keyboard, 2 cameras, a laser that accurately measures the right thrown distance, card reader for players and operators identification and, of course, an Internet connection.
But is in its software where Radikal Darts® presents unparallel improvements and excels as the most advanced Dart Machine of the market.
Thanks to its strategically located built-in cameras and to a super develop software, Radikal Darts® allows to play in ON LINE mode, in real time and seeing constantly the opponent, its throws and results. With that, Radikal Darts® opens a whole universe of game possibilities and competition formulas. It means that a player located, for instance in Japan, can play in real time while seeing its opponent located in Spain or any other country.
The other revolutionary advance is the Remote Refereeing System® or RRS. The system records the games, the actual thrown and the player as well as the impact on the target, the system also invalidates the throw if the player surpasses the laser line.
The images are sent through Internet to the operator’s database who, calmly, can visualize the games anytime from any Internet connection and validate or invalidatethe results. So it allows that the teams and players taking part in a league can play anytime they want to, being possible to play in any premises and to forget about all the paperwork involving leagues and tournaments. All the information, once the operator validates the results, are sent through Internet to the machines so the players can see the classifications, marks, results, etc…
Currently, some leagues and tournaments are on in Spain and Portugal using this system and the results are spectacular, it has been demonstrated that it increases in three times the habitual collections of any other dart machine.
.
The system allows the operator to create and manage all the information related to the dart machine. The player’s profile, the PPD, MPD or ratings, the classifications, creation and follow up of any competition formula, automatic creation of calendars, etc…
The software also allows a big novelty, the management of advertisement and announcements. The operator can create commercials and sent them to the dart machine or announce tournaments or championship. This feature can be used to promote future competitions, advertise sponsors, stand out the name of winners, etc…
And, of course, Radikal Darts® includes the most popular games and its variations as x01, Cricket, Shanghais, Tic Tac Toe, Burma Road, etc…and all with great variety of novel and attractive sounds effects and graphics.
All in all, a new Gaelco product with the common characteristics of our brand. Quality, innovation and the highest technology.
