Zytronic’s Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) has integral role in innovative gaming hardware for casino touch screen
A 10.4″ version of Zytronic’s popular ZYBRID® customisable touch sensor is being employed by international gaming machine manufacturer Shuffle Master to enhance the user interfaces of its latest electronic card table offering, the i-Table™.
Utilising six, networked touch-enabled player displays, plus an additional dealer station, embedded in a full size casino touchscreen gaming table, the i-Table™ combines a feature-rich, highly efficient and intuitive electronic betting interface with the human interaction of a live dealer. It can quickly switch between a selection of different card games; with Blackjack, Baccarat, Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em all being supported.
The custom touch sensor developed with Shuffle Master has a rear printed border to help blend the screens into the table top, and the edge-to-edge glass design eliminates unsightly bezels required by many other touch technologies.
“The i-Table™ has the look and feel of the live tables that customers prefer without the heavy operating costs or risks of theft and cheating associated with them. For this product to be successful, however, the integrity and longevity of the touchscreen had to be assured. We tested a variety of solutions from different suppliers, but these could not adequately deal with our concerns about durability. Zytronic’s PCT™ touch sensing system stood out as the best way to guarantee touch performance and avoid downtime. The customisable nature of PCT™ also provided us with the ability to create an attractive, near seamless playing surface.”
