Having introduced its Systems in Progress (SiP), an effective online management and monitoring instrument for gaming machines, to the world at ICE 2005 last January, the Unicum Group with its Austrian subsidiary Systems in Progress GmbH is expanding geographically. A sole distribution deal for Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, signed with Aristocrat Technologies Africa last month, has seen the SiP online jackpot system installed in Africa and several Asian regions.

The Sea Raider jackpot link is one of the world’s largest wide area links, operating in 60 venues in 7 time zones. The SiP team is presently working on extending their successful product portfolio, including a full-scale cash desk application that will be showcased at EELEX 2005 and ICE 2006. The competitive pricing, comprehensive accounting, cash management capabilities and innovative jackpots make SiP popular with small venues in Africa. Daily operations are facilitated by efficient handpay management including automatic receipt printing and by easy bill, coin and hopper management.

The Unicum Group is the leading Russian provider of solutions and products for the gaming business and entertainment industry. Unicum started developing and manufacturing slot machines in 1990 and now also assembles machines for companies such as Atronic and Bally at a factory in Saint Petersburg. Clients include major Russian casinos and over 2000 operating businesses throughout the CIS and, in co-operation with leading gaming industry companies, Unicum brings the latest in technology and products to the market. The company’s commitment to quality was recently recognized by ISO certification, an international standard. (E-09.20.05)
