Las Vegas-based FortuNet Inc. chose
Ascend Media’s BingoWorld 2007 Conference & Expo—held in Las Vegas
in early March—for the unveiling of a number of the company’s new
products.
The Smart Ball Blower (patent
application pending) is a fully automatic, hands-free ball blower
for bingo, keno and lottery applications. The device uses the
company’s barcoded Smart Balls, which are automatically extracted
from a transparent ball mixing chamber. The balls are then stored in
a transparent, pressurized ball return pipeline until the round of
the game finishes.
A new LED keno flashboard was also
featured at BingoWorld. The product uses a super-bright, jumbo-sized
multicolor LED display, which works in conjunction with the Smart
Ball Blower and FortuNet’s live keno game (available on the
company’s wireless gaming platform).
A new multi-theme slot game—also
executed on the wireless gaming platform—was also unveiled at the
conference. The game further expands the menu of various bingo and
casino games available on the wireless platform, which is currently
undergoing review by Nevada gaming authorities.
