“DEQ’s table product portfolio, presently established in more than 300 casinos worldwide, expands the depth and breadth of our proprietary table games offering and table progressive systems solutions for casino operators,” said in a statement Derik Mooberry, group chief executive of gaming at Scientific Games.
Mr Mooberry said that the addition of DEQ’s library of table games, table progressives and random bonusing systems would enhance Scientific Games’ recurring revenue base. The executive added that Scientific Games is especially excited about EZ Baccarat, described in the press release as the “world’s leading baccarat brand with over 800 table games in 150 casinos across the globe”.
