The journey to designing a standout casino game starts with the right technology foundation, says Eddie Ho, director of gaming hardware at Quixant.
“Game developers should not have to compromise between innovation and speed,” Ho said. “That is why selecting the right hardware platform from the beginning is essential. It gives you the tools to bring your creative vision to life faster and more reliably.”
Quixant, a technology provider focused exclusively on the gaming industry, is known for its signature-orange hardware platforms that power electronic games in land-based casinos in more than 50 countries.
While some game developers consider building their own platforms, Ho said that can be time-consuming and expensive while often distracting from the ultimate goal of creating a unique and immersive player experience.
Key factors to consider in choosing a hardware platform are performance, security, compliance, and scalability, he said. “You also want a solution that is backed by a responsive support team, because even the best hardware needs the right people behind it,” he added.
Quixant platforms are available in wide range of processing power, graphic capabilities, and cost. Ho said each combines high-performance hardware with game-specific software and tailored application programming interfaces for games played on video lottery terminals, electronic gaming machines, or multi-terminal solutions. Each platform includes an integrated software suite designed specifically for the gaming industry to provide peak performance while meeting regulatory requirements across global jurisdictions. The platforms include pre-installed Windows or Linux operating systems with tested drivers and embedded gaming features developed by Quixant.
“We have built our technology to scale with your games and adapt to changing market requirements,” Ho said. “And our dedicated support teams ensure everything runs smoothly during integration and beyond launch.”
Ho said Quixant acts as a strategic partner to developers, helping them to improve efficiency and deliver games to market quickly and cost-effectively.
Quixant, founded in 2005 and listed on the London Stock Exchange beginning in 2013, has facilities and teams in the United Kingdom, the United States, Taiwan, Italy, and Germany, with multilingual support teams for its global customer base.
