Gaming Equipment

The gaming and infotainment industry has widely adopted embedded motherboards, Computer-on-Modules (COMs) and integrated embedded computers into a variety of applications including lottery, slot machines, digital signage, and player tracking systems. There is an ongoing transition towards the use of more off-the-shelf embedded solutions particularly now that they include some of the features required by gaming systems. This is accelerating time to market while reducing system cost for gaming integrators.

The accelerating pace of technology development is raising consumer expectations of electronic equipment to ever higher levels. Devices such as smartphones, tablet computers and game consoles have conditioned consumers to expect sophisticated touch-sense interfaces, a seemingly limitless choice of entertainment, and immersive, hyper-realistic graphics. Consumer electronics device manufacturers depend on a mature ecosystem of microprocessor and software suppliers to provide the platforms on which they build extraordinarily capable products. These platforms have enabled device manufacturers to continually accelerate product innovation; consumers have come to expect that gaming equipment manufacturers will respond more quickly to changes in tastes.

Casino operators have also driven demand for more advanced technology, since they now require highly programmable gaming equipment that has the capability to switch between applications in response to changes in customer demand via a central management station while offering enhanced security and gaming features like a certified random number generator.

Experience and expertise in embedded system development and integration enables Emerson Network Power provides an ultra-reliable, high-quality platform on which to develop and run gaming applications.
