Cashman Tonight™ double standalone progressive video slot and Jackpot Deluxe™ Hyperlink®
—Aristocrat Technologies Inc.
Cashman Tonight™ is an extension of the Mr. Cashman® brand of electronic gaming machines, combining the allure of two standalone progressive jackpots with the Mr. Cashman bonus features.
Any one of five bonus features may appear randomly during play at max lines plus the Cashman Bonus bet. The features include Scatter Games, Match a Prize, Wild Lights, Love Meter and Cash Wheel. Everything from free games to interactive, “pick your prize” options are present in these bonus rounds.
A number of titles, including African Dusk™ and Arctic Wins®, will be available in the Cashman Tonight lineup. The games will be configured as 20 lines plus a 10-cent ante bet. Available in one- and two-cent denominations, the maximum bet is 300 credits with a 50,500 credit top award. Volatility is three with RTP percentages ranging from 85 to 87 percent when ante is not elected, and 90 to 92 percent when ante is elected.
Jackpot Deluxe™ is the next generation of Aristocrat’s Hyperlink® technology. Hyperlink technology connects entire banks of gaming machines to a progressive four-level jackpot. Jackpot Deluxe™ takes Hyperlink® to the next level, allowing players to win all four jackpots in a single bonus event.
Jackpot Deluxe is available on three of Aristocrat’s top performing base games—Dolphin Treasure, Flame of Olympus and Geisha.
In the free games bonus feature, the reels spin and players touch the “wild” symbols to reveal either a credit prize or one of four jackpot symbols. All players need to do is capture three matching jackpot symbols to win that corresponding prize. While continuing to play the free games, the player earns more jackpot symbols toward completing any or all of the other three remaining jackpots.

SpeedGate™ player identification system
—Atronic Systems
The SpeedGate™ player identification system alerts casinos to under-age entry and barred players. It can be used in an online and offline mode and is a fast, automated system minimising inconvenience to players.
The simple-to-use tool gathers and stores information and uses a simple light system to alert casinos to the status of entering guests. It can read several forms of identification including loyalty cards, international standard passports, ID cards from France, Spain, Germany and Switzerland, and French residence cards. It is available in English and French.
SpeedGate™ uses a rapid and efficient Optical Character Recognition of the ID document with the option of searching using multi-criteria filters including first and last name, gender and date of birth. Further identification can also be made through the player’s photo if available.
Results are fast because of the use of a simple light system. A green light results in no details found and access granted, a red light results in a player found and barred with access denied, and an orange light results in multiple players found and further checking is required. Each result displayed is clear and concise with the added benefit of searching in both the casino database and external MS Excel files, such as government files.
