("Inspired") (NASDAQ: INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, technology, hardware and services, will once again be showcasing its suite of entertaining and differentiated cross-platform content in Booth #S2-310 at this year's ICE tradeshow in London from February 6-8.
NBA-Themed Virtual Sports
Highlights will include the company’s first-ever NBA-themed Virtual Sports, the product of an agreement Inspired signed with the National Basketball Association (NBA) that secured the rights to develop Virtual Sports games based on the league’s archived footage. Through Inspired’s NBA-themed Virtual Sports, fans will be able to wager on teams in fast-paced matchups. The NBA-themed Virtual Sports include a variety of NBA imagery, including all 30 team logos as well as NBA archived footage from NBA Regular Season Games, All-Star Games, NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals.
New Product Category, Hybrid Dealer®
In addition to its Virtual Sports offerings, Inspired will showcase a revolutionary new product category at ICE, Hybrid Dealer®. This unique product offers players branded table and gameshow content for online play, eliminating the challenges of live-dealer products. As Hybrid Dealer game outcomes are RNG-generated, the games require no physical studios. The product seamlessly blends physical and digital elements to offer operators unlimited branding and customizable possibilities that are unique from game to game. The scheduled action continues 24/7, with hosts rotating regularly to keep players engaged. Hybrid Dealer’s technology allows Inspired to develop and customize games quickly and cost-effectively for individual clients. It is a game-changing solution for operators seeking unprecedented flexibility.
Strong Suite of Gaming Cabinets and Content
This year the Company is introducing the Vantage Cat C cabinet, a groundbreaking product specifically designed for pubs that is powered by Inspired's innovative server-based gaming platform. It is the first of its kind in the industry and offers two screen sizes to cater to different venue sizes. The cabinet boasts advanced BI and reportage capabilities, as well as online and offline age verification. Its user-friendly menu, equipped with a show, swipe, and intelligent search recommendation engine, adds to the ease of use. Additional cabinet features such as wireless phone charging, cashless payment functionality, and remote fix functionality further enhance the gaming experience.
Another highlight will be the debut of Inspired’s multiplayer Fortune Community AGC Cat C product on the Vantage cabinet. This innovative platform breathes new life into longtime player favorites, thanks to its unique community bonus in each base game.
