Australian Innovation to Revolutionise World Wagering Systems
A new Australian-designed, state-of-the-art software betting platform, with the potential to revolutionise wagering systems worldwide, has recorded its first multi-million dollar, overseas sale to the New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB).
The new betting system, called Typhoon, was developed over three years by Australian based software company, Media and Gaming, and launched this year.
TyphoonÒ overcomes the numerous limitations embedded in the software of most wagering companies throughout the world, thereby delivering major operational and commercial benefits to them.
The Managing Director of Media and Gaming, Nicholas Plowman, said, “This contract between NZRB and Media & Gaming will result in a commercial and technology-based partnership which will ensure the NZRB can take a leading position in an increasingly competitive global entertainment market.”
The CEO of the NZRB, Mr. Andrew Brown, said, “As part of our modernisation strategy, the NZRB conducted a worldwide search for the most efficient and reliable betting platform and TyphoonÒ was selected as the best and most cost-effective option.
“Along with a fast and reliable service, TyphoonÒ will significantly improve the NZRB’s capacity to compete against offshore operators and enable us to be much more agile and responsive in meeting the needs of the industry and our customers,” Mr. Brown said.
Mr. Plowman said, ”Tote operations throughout the world run on legacy systems that do not enable them to compete against more technology advanced gaming enterprises. This is holding racing back in its attempts to match it against other forms of global entertainment. TyphoonÒ goes a long way to solving these problems.”
“Quite simply TyphoonÒ is the most highly advanced and technically superior wagering system currently available in the world today.
Mr. Plowman identified several key advantages of the new TyphoonÒ betting system.
* Typhoon Òis significantly cheaper to acquire, operate and maintain.
* TyphoonÒ is extremely fast, secure and reliable.
* TyphoonÒ is capable of handling an unlimited number of contestants, events, pools and customer accounts.
* TyphoonÒ runs 24/7
* TyphoonÒ handles multi-language and multi-currency international co-mingling.
* TyphoonÒ provides an improved ability to manage problem gambling issues through greater real-time visibility and reporting.
* TyphoonÒ will enhance an organisation’s existing products and introduce new products in a fast and efficient process.
Mr. Plowman said. “TyphoonÒ enables a wagering operator to respond to customer demand and will help grow new revenues for racing codes, clubs and sporting bodies.”
“For example, with TyphoonÒ an operator can create a trifecta pool on the Tour de France or the US Masters and have it available to their customers across all its retail, web and mobile channels instantly.”
“With this first overseas contract at Media and Gaming, we are excited firstly for the NZRB in their far reaching decision, as well as for the New Zealand racing industry which has the potential to gain improved returns, and for the New Zealand public who will enjoy an enhanced betting experience. With TyphoonÒ, everyone wins.” Mr. Plowman said.
