iBrand Gaming, a specialist OEM solution provider, is now a global distributor for the RCM06 USB/Serial reel controller board developed by e2c.

iBrand Gaming will be working to promote the GLI-approved RCM06 USB/Serial gaming reel controller board throughout the UK and European markets. The board utilises e2c’s powerful iSocket client middleware to provide optimum gaming reel control functions and is designed to work with the Quixant range of gaming controllers or any other PC gaming control board. The RCM06 USB/Serial reel controller board is ideal for game development houses that are looking to develop hybrid (reel/video) games for the UK, Spain and other markets that require traditional reels to be used with PC gaming technology. The reel controller board supports up to six stepper motor-based reels, including all unipolar reel types. A development kit is available that includes unique software tools, thus providing a quick time to market solution. "I'm delighted with the agreement we now have with e2c and being able to offer the RCM06 reel controller," stated iBrand Gaming's managing director, John Malin. "By adding this controller to our product portfolio we are able to further enhance our total product offering and solution packages and can further the development of our customer’s game design.” Dr Donny McDonald, founder and CEO of e2c, said: “iBrand Gaming is an excellent partner for e2c’s reel control solutions, given its close co-operation with leading European gaming machine manufacturers. After many successful deployments in the US Class II market, we are very excited about being able to offer this technology to the wider gaming market.”
