GMB- What is IRON about and who is it for?
Carlos Bustamante - The IRON system is a solution that we present from BetConnections for the Latin American market and Caribbean islands in the first instance. It is known that several countries in our region allow the operation of gaming rooms of medium and small magnitudes, in which coin operated machine solutions are offered and in these markets they have been operating for years with a technology that has not been renewed and remains practically unchanged for years and even decades. All because it is very expensive to renew machines with these characteristics and that only large operations such as casinos can afford to have.
BetConnections serves multiple bookmakers in the region, where we offer solutions for sports betting, horse racing and other physical games, but many of these houses can operate slot machines, but do not have an economical and functional solution for that, so IRON fills a big gap for these small to medium sized operations.
In which markets can this system work?
It is a very flexible system that can be built and constituted in different ways according to the laws of each country. It is a system that does not have a limited architecture and can be suitable for different types of operators. Our solution emulates a traditional casino machine that can accept wallets, coins, e-wallet and barcode reading for financial transactions.
It also has several ways to issue payments to users and an online version with games from various brands, as well as an offline version that contains a limited but very modern game suite that ensures that operators can have new technology at a price they can afford. IRON can work vertically and another model works horizontally, both with attractive jackpots.
What content does IRON have?
We have agreements with world-renowned companies with which we are working to include their titles as main games, we also have the ability to make VLT for exclusive brands and also multi-brand VLT, which is why we have great capabilities for implementing and adapting content, renewed and adapted by the markets.
What are the countries in the region where IRON can work?
Currently, this system can operate in countries where regulation is coming into force, such as Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, and can also operate in Paraguay, Mexico and Caribbean Islands, in accordance with local legislation that allows the operation of this type of machine.
