A NORTH EAST electronics company at the forefront of gaming technology is reaping the rewards of investment in research and development.

Innocore Gaming Ltd, based at Silverlink, North Tyneside, has developed a circuit board to control all elements of video display gaming machines, with the help of a Research and Development grant of £84,000 from One North East.

Innocore has developed a global reputation in the industry and has a high-profile client list, with their technology powering machines in some of the most famous casinos in the world.

The agency investment formed part of a £210,000 project by Innocore to develop its ground-breaking DPX-S410 circuit board and complementary software. The project proved a huge success, with the product selling £545,000 worth of units in its first quarter on the market.

The DPX-S410 controls all elements of new high-tech gaming machines, including state of the art graphics, improved security to combat cheats and boost reliability, and control the level of payouts each machine gives.

Innocore managing director Edward Price said: “This product is a new design, has new features and new enhancements to meet the very specific requirements of the gaming industry. That means improved security, reliability, graphics and general gaming experience for a machine that will be in use 24 hours a day seven days a week in 100,000 machines in casinos in 27 countries.
