With the combined strength of the two companies, Advantech-Innocore is now the leading global gaming supplier. The
company specializes in designing and manufacturing industrial grade hardware and dedicated software tailored to the
exact needs of the gaming industry. As the gaming-focused business unit of the $1Bn Advantech Group, Advantech­Innocore stands alone among hardware suppliers.

A Comprehensive Technical Knowledge of the Industry Excellence in Manufacturing

Expert engineering, project management and design capabilities for efficient project execution•
Multi-discipline teams: hardware, firmware, FPGA, BIOS, OS, manufacturing and QC engineers•
Software drivers and libraries available to support the majority of gaming peripherals •

(including bill acceptors, etc.)
On-time design and build of custom hardware and software projects•
Comprehensive package: prototype validation, driver testing, manuals, •

drawings, design files, manufacturing test procedures, diagnostics
Worldwide regulatory approvals for all products•

International Quality Standards

The Group Quality system is audited and compliant with ISO 9001. The Quality system covers all aspects of product design,
component selection, design verification, manufacturing, quality control and customer satisfaction. From the board of
directors down, each member takes pride in providing our customers with the highest level of quality in products and
services. We also hold global certifications of ISO 13485, TL 9000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and IECQ QC 080000.

Excellence in Design

Advantech-Innocore’s products are designed and manufactured using high quality components, and the most up-to-date
design and production methodologies. In contrast to mass produced commercial grade motherboards, we design for robust,
reliable operation as well as longevity rather than solely focusing on cost. Careful attention is paid to signal termination,
power supply design, EMC and signal integrity. Thermal management is also taken into account during the design and
testing stages to ensure that product performance is optimized for varied environments including casinos, arcades, etc.
where operation is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Understanding the environment and regulatory constraints of a gaming machine allows our design engineers to add
features that solve problems before they arise: simple things such as mechanical attachment of heatsinks, providing positive
latching on connectors, retaining clips for compact flash cards, design for easy assembly and field maintenance and so forth.

Casino Machines AWPs Multiplayer GamesVLTs/Class

With the increasing popularity of gaming
and gambling, there is a growing number
of casinos worldwide. Casino machines,
known variously as slots, video poker, fruit
machines, etc., offer people a chance to
participate in gaming entertainment, with its
lure of possible payouts, for a very modest
investment. To serve the huge market,
Advantech-Innocore provides a wide range
of high performance platforms for casino
machine game developers and system
integrators. Our platforms allow customers
to concentrate on their game development,
not complex hardware issues. We provide
high performance hardware platforms,
complete software and firmware solutions,
and in-depth customer support/industry
knowledge.

The largest segment of the gaming
industry is the street machines,
AWP - the one-armed bandits or
fruit machines segment. Typically
located in places of amusement,
bars, convenience stores and
arcades, these machines provide
low jackpots for small stakes
compared to machines in licensed
casinos. Advantech-Innocore
provides a range of platforms
for the AWP segment where low
cost as well as reliability and long
production lifespan are important
factors. Many of these platforms
offer the same level of security and
gaming-optimized I/O as our casino
platforms but at lower cost points.

Although somewhat less strictly regulated
than electronic gaming machines for
the casino and Class
machines for Class II/VLT are increasingly
employing similar levels of computer
performance. Features such as two and
three-screen cabinets as well as 3D
graphics and attractive multimedia effects
are becoming common in Class II and VLT
machines. Advantech-Innocore’s DPX®
range of products is in use in many such
machines around the world, providing
the high level of multimedia performance
required as well as all the I/Os and COMs
on a single platform.

II

markets, gaming

III

Multi-player electronic gaming machines
are popular in some markets where
players may prefer electronic games
over table games with live dealers. These
games are typically regulated to the same
level as other casino games, and as such
Advantech-Innocore’s range of products
is well suited for use in multiplayer
games. In particular the “E Series”
products offer the same level of security
and gaming optimized I/O as our casino
platforms but at a lower cost point, with
lower power requirements, and some
models are also fanless.

Arcade Pachislot

Arcade games have always had their
core youth following, but as technology
and creativity continue to increase, older
generations are also becoming attracted
to the challenge that newer and updated
games offer. In the past, arcade game
providers typically handled development
and production in-house, but as times and
the global economy have changed, more
have begun to outsource total solutions,
rather than just a few select components. In
addition, systems that were formerly based
on RISC technology are now switching to the
more widely used x86 platform.

As times and technologies have
changed, pachinko/pachislot too have
evolved to a higher level. Open-frame
LCD panel solutions are widely applied
in pachinko/pachislot machines for
integrating with gaming graphic
display controllers and MPEG2/4 video
decoders. We offer a wide range of
sizes in cost-effective, open-frame
LCD displays and compact sized low
cost motherboards to reduce project
budgets. Advantech-Innocore also
provides API tools for shortening
application development cycles, and
we even offer an I/O card for controlling
the ball sensor and push buttons.
