2018 G2E- What Caught My Eye at First Walk Through

Others will offer a more thorough review, but here is a first glance from Slotspert which caught my eye:
Cute Car Race similar to Konami's Horse Racing:

Here we go again, another Press Your Luck version:

Who remembers the iconic Jokers Wild theme from the Jack Berry Game show, its back!
Attachment 7975
Another attempt at the iconic Asteroid game theme with a REAL PUSH Button shooting trigger this time:

Attachment 7977

How many remember the old Felix the Cat?--- Iconic cartoon slot game (Master Cylinder, the Professor, Poindexter, Rock Bottom, Felix's Magic Bag):

Slotspert meets fellow slot theme characters Penn and Teller (no they are not WAX figures!). They are the nicest guys. And Teller is actually one of the smartest people I had met from my past encounters with him.
Attachment 7978

SHAME on SG Gaming for refusing to allow non-industry attendees from entering ANY of their convention slot floor exhibits. They had a curtained off area with real "bouncers" and a separate check-in which they refused admission to many of us.

I will let others give a more detailed review.....

Thanks for the report, Slotspert!

Bouncers, at G2E? Unbelievable. Are more manufacturers going to go this route of being so secretive about their new games? Could this be the beginning of the end of a show for everyone? One can only hope not. Thanks for the pics and report

Thats kinda cool ...Wheres this at ?

Thank you for the report @Slotspert. It's always interesting to see what new slots are coming to the casinos.

Thanks for the report and pictures! Always enjoyed the PYL games. Agree that is ridiculous about the bouncers.

That's too bad about sg games being lame about not letting people stop and check out the games. Probably had some bad apple YouTubers cause some issues last year and they got complaints from customers.

Any listing of payback ranges on these machines at the shows?

Thanks for sharing what ya could

Apparently, some non-industry attendees succeeded (somehow) in getting in after day one which is the busiest of the three days. We will know next year if any others follow in SG's "Curtained-off" exhibit space. I would have to say this year's G2E was the MOST CROWDED of any I have been to in the last 8 years. The expansion of gaming all over the world- especially casinos in Japan starting around year 2020, is the source of this influx.

Thanks Slotspert for the recap on G2E.
Fwiw, Shamus posted this video on G2E’s SG, lots of good stuff coming from them from what I gathered from this video.

Bouncers seems a little heavy handed to me

Saw your 2018 G2E picture -- wish I could have been there with you! Hope we can get together next year!

Take care! Talk to you soon!
