Techlink

Sydney, Nova Scotia – Techlink Entertainment, an Atlantic Canada based designer and manufacturer of innovative gaming technologies, today announced a major teaming agreement with a Rhode Island technology solutions provider; Rite Solutions Inc. Rite Solutions is a top provider of technical solutions for companies throughout North America.  The two groups form an impressive alliance that will focus their combined energies and intellectual property in the “responsible gaming” market space.

Techlink’s Informed Player Choice System (IPCS) is a card-based technology that empowers individuals to have more control and information when using gaming machines.  Players use a card to activate the gaming machine, and then have access to up to the second information on their play.  Players find out exactly how much money they have won/lost on the machine.  They can track how much they have spent over the past days, weeks, months, or year.  Players can also set limits on the amount of money they want to gamble over a period of time.  The system, also allows people to lock themselves out from gambling for any given period of time (for example, cheque week, Sundays, Holidays, etc).  Information and game play tools are the key to helping gamblers.  The IPCS gives players the best information possible and the tools to help them make more informed choices.

“Techlink’s System is the only market ready solution today that has been proven through extensive field-testing and research.  Three independent research firms agreed that the product has a positive impact on gambling behaviour.  Providing players with the right information and tools is critical to increase responsible behaviour in the gaming industry.” notes John Xidos, President and CEO of Techlink Entertainment.

The teaming agreement positions Techlink to capitalize on the rapidly expanding global marketplace. Rite Solutions is an accredited service and systems provider to the U.S. gaming and military industries. The IPCS has been profiled in many international publications and the company is in discussions with several significant gaming jurisdictions.

“We believe something should be done to promote responsible entertainment. After reviewing Techlink’s IPCS we agreed to be an implementation partner right away.  Techlink is a company with a solution that addresses the growing demand globally for more responsible gaming products. IPCS’s market potential is huge. It is unrivaled and its potential to strengthen the position of regulators and operators in the delivery of  responsible gaming entertainment. There’s a lot of interest in this type of technology. It is so timely and more importantly, it works. Especially in jurisdictions where the State/Government shares in the revenue generated, they have to share in the responsibility for the social impacts. ”. - Rite Solutions CEO Jim Lavoie.
