The EGT Luxury Touch Table won an award at G2E last year and has already been installed in 50 casinos, including WINBET in Bulgaria, Casino Advanced Technology, France and Casino VINMOE in Ireland. According to Tihomir Asenov, Research Manager at EGT, Our concept in creating the EGT Luxury Touch Table was to increase the pace of play increasing profitability, and to reduce the operating costs and the chances of discrepancies. We have realised a completely new and elegant luxury version of roulette, a traditional casino game. It has been specifically projected to cater for big casino interiors and combines the latest digital innovations in the industry with the live table experience of having a real wheel and a live dealer to spin it. The EGT Luxury Touch Table is a high-end product, featuring an exquisite design, modern technologies and demanding performance standards. Critically, the new Table concept required six or eight completely independent touch zones operating seamlessly over a single 84 LCD, allowing individuals to place bets within a shared game experience, without the risk of each players virtual gambling chips becoming mixed up.etc"

News - expansion in China News of ZYT expanding in China - good to see it's via a partner with whom ZYT already have a relationship:[link] Displays strengthens presence in Greater ChinaRechelle TangcangcoDecember 23, 2015Zytronic Displays Limited, the leading manufacturer and developer of advanced, rugged Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touchscreens, is expanding its distribution network in Greater China with the addition of distributor MPU. The move reflects the huge potential of the Greater China market for Zytronic.Zytronic Displays is well known as a supplier of projected capacitive touch (PCT) technology for environments that require rugged and robust displays, typically industrial environments and public access facilities such as Point-of-Information (POI) kiosks. Throughout Greater China, the addition of MPU will assist Zytronic in developing its sales channels for touch-display applications that include Interactive Shop Windows, Vending and Ticketing Machines, Finance and Banking, touch-input based Gaming, including in Casinos, Security and Surveillance, and opportunities for Curved Displays.Official policy in mainland China is to develop relatively high-end technology in a variety of electronics and semiconductor sectors. This factor is a major driver of demand for industrial PCs (IPCs) and other embedded devices in the local market, and Zytronic anticipates high demand in these segments over the next decade.Zytronic anticipates its display technology will prove very competitive locally, particularly where applications typically require rugged solutions, curved displays and specialized custom designs.Zytronic selected MPU on the basis of its good connections and sales channels in China where the company has been able to observe MPUs strengths. MPU has already been instrumental in establishing projects that integrate Zytronic products. MPU is, for example, cooperating with Zytronic on the development of a curved touch module, which will be deployed in combination with a curved LCD screen that incorporates Zytronic touch-screen technology."
Excellent results, beating expectations Excellent results, beating next year's expectations, let alone this year's.24.7p EPS beats next year's 24.1p forecast (this year's was 23p). The 12p divi is well ahead of the 11p forecast too.It's even better than that. These are "basic" EPS figures. If you adjust out amortisation and share-based expenses - as most companies do - ZYT actually achieved 28.1p EPS last year.ZYT have £8.5m net cash (not £9.8m, as there's a mortgage), so still very impressive. No clues as to how it's to be used AFAICS.What I like most is the transparency and clarity. It's an extremely detailed narrative, and it's completely open about various projects coming to an end, bits and bobs of the business (i.e non-touch) struggling for momentum). This is still a business subject to cyclical swings.Nevertheless, the outlook for this year is very positive, and ZYT seems to be a company very much on the up.

A Logitech HD Pro C920 web camera is also built into the display.Asad Hamir, Kite GB CEO, explained: "The vast majority of dispensing opticians havenât considered how technology can help them engage with their customers. We really wanted to enhance the user experience and provide an environment that is conducive to social sharing."The unit has proved popular with customers, he added, since it appeared in the store for the first time earlier this year. He also described the technology as âa great differentiatorâ� for his business. "It allows customers to get advice on the products they are thinking about purchasing from the people that matter most to them, not just the store staff.""
