For Immediate Release:
There’s A New Kid In Town …
Video King Gaming Products Approved In Nevada!
OMAHA, Neb. – There’s a new kid in town, bringing a new brand of entertainment to
Nevada territory. A virtual trailblazer, this one’s sure to rustle up interest among
even the most die-hard Bingo players ...
Video King – a global provider of electronic gaming systems, game designs and
Bingo hall equipment – was granted approval to bring several of its high-caliber
products from the Nevada Gaming Control Board – which calls all the regulatory
shots – to this highly esteemed gaming frontier.
Earning the seal of approval were OMNI™ – Video King’s revolutionary Bingo hall
management system, the Champion II™ and TAB-e™ portable gaming tablets, the
SuperChamp™ handsets and the PowerTouch™ fixed-based units, offering players
live Bingo and stable of action-packed games.
Once the dust settles, the good news will likely ricochet fast, but you probably want
to hear it here first – straight, so to speak, from the horse’s mouth ...
“Video King has it all over the competition – bar none,” said Tony Delise, Casino
Manager at John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Reno, which has been in the Bingo business
for more than 40 years.
Home of the famed $100,000 Bingo Blowouts, which draw up to 1,900 players for
nearly every sold-out event, the Nugget switched to Video King products one year
ago – with sure-fire results.
In addition to OMNI, Nugget now offers their players PowerTouch, SuperChamp and
Champion II – so high in demand, there’s even more on the horizon.
“The customers really like them,” said Stephanie King, Bingo Manager at the
Nugget, who’s already doubled the number of Champ IIs (Champion) in play.
And it’s no wonder why ...
Video King, known worldwide for superior electronic handsets, has once again raised
the bar in unbeatable product performance. In the gaming arena, this durable, yet
softly contoured gaming tablet has no problem muscling out the competition ...

A rock-solid performer, The Champion II delivers a one-two punch with vivid colors
and incredibly sharp images that literally pop off the screen.
At the forefront of technology, its sleek design – coupled with two-way
communications – lets players interact by simply selecting the easy-to-identify
visuals on the screen.
In addition to a flexible stand with easy-tote handle, its key features include ability
to buy cards at any time, multiple card views with integrated flashboard – from twoto incredibly sharp 12-card views – player-selected daub shapes/colors, and 80/20
split screen for simultaneous extra game and Bingo play.
But hold your horses, there’s more ... Champion II – like the TAB-e, a smaller, more
compact tablet – lets the Bingo operators call the shots.
“The Champ II allows operators to make their own changes, Delise said. “Whereas
with other models, operators need to submit their changes, leaving room for errors.
That’s one of the reasons we switched,” he added. It’s a win-win for everyone.
“Players love new games. When we have a new play schedule, we often advertise
and make an event of it,” he said.
Just ask Sandy Johnson, who has played Bingo throughout California and parts of
Nevada for many years.
“I think the Champion II is great,” she said. “I’d give it five stars. Overall, it is the
best Bingo machine available and is very easy to use.”
Among her biggest reasons, the one-away feature, which casts a translucent
message across the screen, letting players know they are just one number away
from Bingo.
“I really like the box that shows you that you are set for multiple numbers. It is very
easy to see when you are waiting on a Bingo and set several ways,” she said.
Also, the “Touch Screen And Yell Bingo” feature. “Of course we all like to yell Bingo,
but the Champ II telling you when to yell is great,” she said.
“This feature lets the caller know that there is a Bingo in the hall when the player
touches the screen.”
Other perks, multiple views for single or multiple Bingo cards, lots of dauber,
background and color choices, as well as purchase summary, she said.
However, one of the Champ II’s best features is that it doesn’t have to load game
content at the admissions counter.
“This saves lots of time when there are big lines for buy-ins,” she said. “Since
loading is done by code, it makes buy-in superfast, especially during marathons.”
But you be the judge. Delise invites anyone interested to come to the Nugget to
preview the versatility of this system.

On the other hand, when players want something tried and true, that’s where the
SuperChamp strides in ...
Touted for unbeatable fun and unyielding performance, SuperChamp – one of Video
King’s most popular, one-piece handsets – features a sleek, high-tech design, bright,
color-rich screen with large, easy-to-see images, many players clamor for. Like a
good steed, they’re deemed “the dependable machine,” according to King.
“SuperChamps are like an old security blanket,” she said. “They’re comfortable with
them. They like to go back to the same machine.
Not only does SuperChamp highlight best pattern on each face card, but features
audible/visual Bingo notifications, displays up to 10 “on” numbers/best card after
each ball call, allows players to purchase more cards or games at any time, and
determines card view, flashboard display, dauber shape/color.
And when Bingo’s not enough, Nugget players can simply “tune into” the PowerTouch
units, with their audio headsets and crisp picture screens.
“One of the PowerTouches’ biggest draws is the TVs. You have the flexibility of
playing Bingo and watching football or your favorite soap. That’s the main reason
people play them,” said King.
In addition to picture-in-picture and simultaneous game play, PowerTouch features
include player selectable daubers, themes, multiple card views and buy-on-the fly for
pre-game purchases.
As far as Bingo operations, both put their money on OMNI, Video King’s multifunctional, MICS-compatible POS system.
Features include paper inventory, a cash vault or virtual bank, flexible accounting
system, Bingo session scheduler, complete integration of Video King’s POS and
Player Tracking System, a discounting and training mode, credit-card payment
options and the new gift certificate and reservation modules – just to name a few.
Not only was it easier to learn than other Bingo management systems, but also
incredibly user-friendly, King said.
“It makes it really easy to access reports to help you get a good look at your
business operations. Really dissect it. See what players are purchasing, what games
are selling, and what packets they are buying,” she said.
“In the past, you had to access more than one report to get a specific piece of
information. In OMNI, you can access a lot of information within one report,” she
added.
In fact, OMNI, customizable to fit any-size hall, can help you grow your business.
“It’s a great marketing tool,” Delise said.
“In my 15 years involved with Bingo, I’ve never seen a product offer so much
marketing ability, where you can change the sessions, using your own patterns, and
in so short an amount of time. That’s big. You just don’t see that in other systems,”
he said.

But none of that matters as much without Video King at the reins.
“I highly recommend Video King over other products, based on dependability and
service,” Delise said.
“You can have all the bells and whistles, but that means nothing without the follow
up and service. There have been no real issues, but when there is a problem, which
is rare, everyone from the president of the company, Tim Stuart, on to our Nevadabased Video King rep and service provider, Renny Marin, president of California
Bingo, are right on it, until the issue is completed to our satisfaction. They will be
there when needed. They are very prompt and committed. Video King, I feel has it
all over the competition.”
