A change in local regulation has enabled Atronic to launch its King Kong Cash WAP across casinos in three cities in Chile.

The installation marks the first national progressive jackpot in Chile, and at the same time in South America, following the recent approval by the country’s Gaming Superintendent Office. The Gaming Superintendent issued information last week to allow operators to the implement a progressive jackpot system across their machines and venues.

The King Kong Cash multilevel WAP was developed by Atronic’s Systems Division for the Dreams Group, which is the first operator in Chile offering this brand-new multisite feature to its players. Visitors to casinos in the cities of Temuco, Valdivia and Punta Arenas can now enjoy playing for a major jackpot that is generated simultaneously across all casinos in these three cities.

Atronic’s Systems Division has provided the Galaxis system solution driving the WAP. Galaxis is a modular system solution that consists of various Star|Modules for different applications in the casino. With its scalable design, customisable modular integration and large interfaces capacity, Galaxis offers a powerful and diverse casino management tool set for any kind of slots and table games operation.

"Dreams is the first WAP operator in Chile and in South America, which demonstrates once again our leadership in this industry and allows us to offer the highest wins ever seen in Chile to our clients," said Jaime Wilhelm, general manager of Dreams Hotel Casino and Spa.

Atronic’s sales director for Latin America, Jessica Luna, commented: "King Kong Cash has seen extreme success all over the world.

"Atronic is very proud to introduce this multi-level jackpot product into a nationwide WAP environment which at the same time marks the very first WAP for Chile and South America. This project demonstrates once again that Atronic offers the complete range of gaming products and services such as attractive game titles, a special WAP mathematic model and the technology to control and administrate the WAP through our Systems Division."
