  Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products Winners Named  
 

LAS VEGAS (April 3, 2008) – Casino Journal is pleased to announce the winners of its Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products Awards for 2007. Now in its 11th year, the awards recognize the most innovative offerings in the gaming industry.

“It was a pretty diverse list of winners this year in terms of the types of technologies,” said Andy Holtmann, editor of Casino Journal. “Unlike previous years’ contests where one or two technologies seemed to dominate the winners’ circles, this year showed that operators are looking in many different areas. Server-based is still of great interest, but just as important are table technologies, business intelligence products, security and surveillance advancements and other innovations.”
