Tangra Touch is a new slant top platform from Casino Technology of Bulgaria and it received its first airing at IGE.

Powered by a brand new motherboard, Tough Rider, the cabinet has an imposing design and contains a range of improvements and facilities, adding to operator convenience and player comfort. There is a panoramic widescreen with the option of a second monitor built into the top box. Another option is a 7ins display for player tracking or multimedia.

The ergonomic keyboard features large push buttons and sensor buttons and there is a powerful 2.1 sound system. The Tough Rider board features improved software security, a pushing-out mechanism and CPU box diagnostic front LED display.

The name is connected to Bulgarian legend. Tangra is an old god signifying strength and power. Tough Rider was a daring horseman who, legend has it, joined with Tangra to create the state of Bulgaria more than 13 centuries ago.

"Tangra Touch and Tough Rider employ all the latest technology," said Casino Technology’s managing director, Sonia Nikolova. "It features a dual monitor, full player tracking, good ergonomics with cup holder, ashtray, etc. It has been designed with the player very much in mind. Inside it is unique and laid out for maximum ease of operation."
