Apex Gaming debuted two new innovations at the recent ENADA show in Rome, Pinnacle SL and Jackpot Mania.

The Pinnacle upright cabinet was first launched at London ICE in January and has been gaining in popularity among operators and players.

"The demand for Pinnacle took off from day one," explained Johannes Weissengruber, CEO and founder of APEX Gaming. "Thus, we prioritised the development of the slant top cabinet."

The Pinnacle SL is a new slant top solution, incorporating two 26ins monitors and Apex Gaming’s patented cooling system.

"We were exhibiting on our customer’s stand this time at the ENADA Rome. The response from visitors on the B Plus stand to the Pinnacle SL was phenomenal. People were playing on them practically all the time over the three days of the exhibition," said Weissengruber.

Apex also presented its Jackpot Mania progressive jackpot for the first time. Each of the five games has its own jackpot progressively linked together, meaning five individual jackpots are live at the same time. There are individual jackpots for the games Leonardo’s Code, Arriva, Ocean Tale, Legend of the Sphinx and Red Hot Fruits.

"The Jackpot Mania mirrors our company philosophy - of taking gaming to the next level. Now progressive jackpots will be taken to the next level as well," explains Weissengruber. The individual jackpots reward players who wish to continue focusing on their favourite game. The fact that the maximum jackpot can mathematically be cracked every week when just 2,000 Apex Gaming machines are linked together underlines the real benefit of operating Apex Gaming VLTs.

"Our experience, design quality and passion for games are also united with what we are confident will be the oncoming player favourite - the Jackpot Mania."
