Through a cooperative effort with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), MERKUR UK has set out on an exciting adventure to modernize gaming machines. Titled “The Next Generation of Gaming Technology,” this three-year collaboration comprises ten technology students from UCLan. Using composite materials to reduce costs, applying AI for predictive maintenance, and improving machine design are the three primary goals of the project.
Exploring Advanced Machine Design
The project focuses on several key areas, including enhancing the design of gaming machines. By incorporating composite materials, the initiative seeks to reduce manufacturing and transportation expenses significantly. Additionally, the research will delve into how artificial intelligence can be used for predictive maintenance, potentially transforming the operational efficiency of gaming machines.
Sascha Blodau, General Manager at MERKUR UK, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “I am delighted to confirm this dynamic project which will bring a fresh and exciting perspective on how technology can be deployed to develop the next generation of gaming machines.” He also highlighted the uniqueness of this collaboration in the UK land-based gaming sector, noting its potential to significantly impact the way gambling entertainment is delivered and enjoyed by players.
MERKUR UK has joined an esteemed consortium of research partners, which also includes the International Olympic Committee, NASA, the Professional Golfers Association, the English Football Association, and the Professional Golfers Association, by teaming with UCLan. This partnership highlights the project’s inventiveness and ability to establish new benchmarks for the gaming sector.
By pushing the boundaries of game technology, this ground-breaking partnership between MERKUR UK and UCLan promises to provide cutting-edge and reasonably priced gaming solutions for the future.
