Accentuates Cuban-theme throughout slot environment that envelopes the senses,entices players
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ ﾖ May 1, 2008 ﾖ Atlantic Cityﾒs Tropicana
Casino & Resort today announced their plans for the opening of their new
slot environment. ﾓHavana Rooftop Slotsﾔ is a 3,000 square-foot
raised section of its casino that has been completely transformed into an all-encompassing,
themed slot environment. New and current guests will experience this unique
opportunity for themselves in this one-of-a-kind slot offering. Havana Rooftop
Slots will debut on May 15th with a VIP/ Media Event and official Ribbon Cutting.
Mark Giannantonio, President and COO, Tropicana Casino & Resort says, ﾓThe attention to detail in creating Havana Rooftop Slots has exceeded my expectations.
We are excited to be the first in AC to offer something like this, and it will
definitely be a competitive advantage in slot merchandising within the marketplace.ﾔ
The Havana Rooftop Slots project was developed in total from slot manufacturer
and casino supply company, AC Coin & Slot, who designed and constructed
the environment and provided 165 IGTﾮ slot games for the project (including
one bank of custom-themed slot machines), hand-painted murals, custom signage,
and ergonomic slot bases and seating.
ﾓTropicana gave us the autonomy to utilize our skill sets of design
and implementation to create this total slot environment package,ﾔ said
Jason Seelig, AC Coin & Slot Executive Vice President, Corporate Sales. ﾓTrop
is leading the way as we foresee this as a trend more casinos will follow to
more competitively merchandise their gaming offerings.ﾔ
Visitors to the new slot area will be greeted by specially uniformed staff
and surrounded with the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Old Havana, Cuba.
Authentic Cuban music, vivid artwork, specialty drinks and coffees, festive
lighting, and the faintest aromas of citrus will entice the senses while players
enjoy the latest in slot technology and entertainment, further distinguishing
the Tropicana as the destination of choice for gaming enthusiasts. Patrons
will feel transported to another time and place as they lounge in plush appointments
and overlook the casino floor below.
Players will also be able to try their luck with a series of 12 ﾓHavana
Goldﾙﾔ progressive-link slots, which have been custom-themed by
International Game Technology (IGT) specifically for the project. The Havana
Gold series machines are five-reel, nine-line, 90-coin games that offer the
excitement of free spin bonuses and will serve to complete the themed atmosphere.
