John Huxley - April Update

London,
28th March, 2002

Gala goes for Rapid

    
The face of UK casinos continues to evolve and nowhere more so than with the
introduction of  electronic & streamlined table games.

    Gala Casinos chose their Casino in Nottingham, as a beta test site for John Huxley's revolutionary Rapid Roulette.  The system has just completed a very successful trial period which has resulted in Gala confirming orders for a further 6 systems for their estate, bringing the total number of units for the group to 74.
 

Rapid Roulette has proved to be extremely popular with players due to the fact that the dealer is still present to spin the wheel and interact with them. Players no longer feel intimidated as they have their own individual touch screen layout to place bets, with wins indicated in an easy and user friendly format.

   Gala have found that Rapid Roulette has increased play during the trial period to unprecedented levels by offering something new for their players and more importantly increased levels of turnover, security and game speed.

    Peter Hannibal, Electronic Gaming Director for Gala Group, comments, "Of all
the Touchscreen Roulette products on the market, Rapid has the most 'user-friendly' screen. Combine this with the dealer interaction and you have a unique combination that is a winner with the player".
 
 

Diamonds are Forever

    The new Diamond Lounge at Burswood International Resort, Perth - Australia has recently opened with brand new tables and equipment supplied by John Huxley. Matthew Gammon, worked tirelessly to ensure that the 12 Blackjack, 4 American Roulette and 2 Midi Baccarat tables were delivered along with full operational accessories, roulette wheels and Infinity Plus systems.

Paul Simmons, General Manager Casino was delighted and commented '...Despite being produced at short notice and to a very tight schedule, the tables are of excellent quality and workmanship.  They complement the ambience of the Diamond Lounge and we have been extremely pleased to receive positive feedback from patrons of the Casino'  

   'I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent service provided....in designing and producing gaming tables for our new Diamond Lounge...'
    

    These tables are further proof that John Huxley provides unrivalled  quality product and service in Australia and New Zealand.  Last year saw John Huxley supply over 40 tables and accessories for the brand new Club Conrad at Jupiters Casino, the Gold Coast.
 
 

UK new games update

    In preparation for the allowance of the proposed new games for UK Casinos,
John Huxley has received orders (subject to legislation allowing) for Sicbo Tables, Money Wheels and Progressive Casino Stud Poker Systems.

    '...The latest range of new games products on show at the ICE in London were very well received and the market has responded very well to our exceptional range of products...' commented a spokesman for John Huxley.


    '...Our 106 bet Sicbo table has been particularly popular with orders taken for over 20 tables.....the 50 bet version has also been requested in both rectangular and Blackjack style formats...'

    Progressive Poker for both Local and Wide Area Networks is of course the most anticipated product, however Sicbo is going to be available in the majority of UK Casinos along with a modest roll-out of Money Wheels.  

    '...We have UK developed and produced equipment that operates exceptionally well and realistically priced and the UK Operators have responded extremely well to the marvellous opportunity to offer their customers these new games...'

    The latest One2Six Shuffling machine has been undergoing field trials with both UK and International Operators with great success.  The One2Six Shuffler is the only shuffler on the market that can operate both as a single deck and multi deck unit.
 
 

New Shuffler for South African Market

    The latest One2Six shuffling machine went on show for the first time in South Africa last week after the initial launch in London at the ICE in January.

    The response was incredible with Sun International, Global Resorts and Tsogo Sun all showing a real interest.

    '...The casino market has waited a long time for such a versatile shuffler...' commented John Whiskin of John Huxley South African office.

    With the interchangeable attachment, the machine can switch between shuffling single
deck games such as poker right through to six deck blackjack.  Another benefit of the One2Six shuffler, is that whilst one deck is being dealt from the machine the 2nd deck in a poker game is being shuffled, thus achieving more hands per hour than the conventional single deck shuffler currently available on the market.  The machine also offers increased levels of security and integrity to the game.

    '...with South Africa being dominated with continuous shuffling machines the only draw back will be availability of the new machine, so the word is get your orders in early to avoid disappointment...' remarked John Whiskin.
 
 

Huxley update in Africa

    With just a short lull in the South African market before the new casinos come on line such as Tsogo Sun's Sun Coast casino in Durban and Century Casino's 30 table 750 slot operation in Krugersdorp, John Huxley SA have been busy opening Casino Flamingo for Sun International in Kimberley and also Meropa Casino again for Sun International in Pietersburg.

    Further a field, orders have been obtained from the Seacliff Group to equip their new casino Le Grande situated in the heart of Daresalam.

    In the north of Namibia, John Huxley supplied the entire casino due to open shortly named Punyu casino. Jambo Casino situated 4 hours north of Narobi selected John Huxley to supply and install their Roulette wheels, cards and layouts in this, the first casino in Eldoret.  We would like to wish the owners Mr Kim and Mr Yang the best of luck with their new venture.  Sic Management of Mauritius has placed a large order for commemorative chips and layouts which will be sponsored by M-tel the communication service provider which will give them a unique opportunity to market their company to the Mauritian public.
