(OTC:GLXZ), the world's second largest developer, manufacturer and distributor of casino table games and enhanced casino systems, announced it received the first place award in Casino Journal's annual 'Best New Table Game' contest. The contest and award presentation was a headline component of the annual Raving's Cutting Edge Table Games Conference held December 2 - 4, 2012 at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
This year's record-setting attendance attracted casino executives from across the globe. They evaluated and voted on new table games presented by numerous amateur and professional game inventors. Galaxy Gaming's entry, High Card Flush, claimed the first place prize, keeping alive Galaxy Gaming's record-breaking winning streak for four consecutive years. The Company acquired High Card Flush approximately three months ago.
'Apparently, leading casino executives from around the world have arrived at the same conclusion we did when we were first were introduced to the game last summer,' commented Robert Saucier, Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy Gaming. 'High Card Flush has the ability to become one of the world's top producing table games and we are thrilled to now offer it. This vote of confidence from experienced casino table game professionals further validates our decision to acquire this exciting and novel game.'
In addition to the recognition received, the winner of the top prize was awarded valuable guaranteed placements of their new game into a minimum of eight casinos in California, Oklahoma and Washington. Ron Marks, Galaxy Gaming's VP of Sales, was primarily responsible for the Company's participation in this event. He explained the significance of receiving the award and gave a summary of this year's conference. 'Obviously we are thrilled to have won this award again and genuinely appreciate the casinos that have committed to the early placements of High Card Flush,' noted Mr. Marks. 'Besides winning this coveted award, there are numerous other benefits we obtained from this year's conference. For over two days, senior decision makers were introduced to our Company and to our other fine products. Together with the Global Gaming Expo, this event contributes to our growing backlog of orders. Although our current portfolio of products is comprehensive, we may choose to explore the opportunity to acquire one or more of these other games in the future,' added Mr. Marks.
