Slot Pods

  • PRODUCT:  Slot Stand
  • MANUFACTURER:  KGM Gaming

Pennsylvania-based KGM Gaming has introduced a slot stand the company says will revolutionize the way casinos install and reconfigure slot floors.

Called simply “The Slot Stand,” the product includes a number of “plug and play” features that allow operators to quickly reconfigure a slot floor with minimal player disruption.

The new technology employs a system of pre-wired “pods” that quickly connect and disconnect using a series of internal harnesses. The Slot Stand incorporates the full range of required slot floor wiring. All wiring is self-contained, which means casinos will no longer be required to run their power and data across the floor.

The Slot Stand can be powered from any central floor location within a particular bank. Once a single pod becomes live, it can power neighboring pods with a chain-like effect.

Another distinctive feature is an internal structure framework that allows an exclusive KGM sign pole to quickly bolt in and become easily powered up.

The stand also uses a quick-change universal plate that bolts to the underside of a slot machine. Once in place, this plate allows movement of a machine to any location on the floor without using tools. The plate contains all required bolt and electric holes, and mounts to the stand using an exclusive locking system.

The stand, which physically resembles a simple coffee table, is available in traditional slot style configurations, and in materials including any combinations of steel, aluminum, wood, laminates, acrylic or stone.
