If you want to be where the action is in spring 2008, then set your GPS for Billings and get set for a rousing good time and a profitable trip.
For the first time in memory Fleetwood Gaming, a Billings video gaming machine manufacturer, is moving its Spring Open House from company headquarters at 200 Regal to the Metra Park Expo Center where they will occupy multiple booths at the Sysco of Montana Spring Food Service Show April 9.
Always an outstanding event, Sysco attracts hospitality folk from Montana and a number of adjacent states which was one of the reasons Fleetwood shifted this year's venue in order to touch base with many of their current customers and in turn visit with potential customers they might otherwise miss. (All businesses licensed for gaming are licensed for adult beverage service, and many of these are also in the restaurant business.)
With a theme of What s New for 2008, Fleetwood personnel will guide their visitors through a labyrinth of new products and industry innovations including a preview of their new Player Entertainment System to be introduced in their Summer Days of '08 sales package.
Perhaps topping the list of new products is the recently approved Brilliant Bet series of casino video gaming machine. The Brilliant Bet is characterized by Fleetwood spokesman Art LaGaly as a prime example of the firm s continued expansion of our development visions for the Montana market. We believe that Brilliant Bet will be yet another success milestone for Fleetwood Gaming, Inc.
The game itself is a culmination of four years of research and innovative development that the firm feels will entertain a wide group of players. According to LaGaly, The exciting look and casual feel of the Brilliant Bet will provide players with upbeat multi-game features, striking graphics and outstanding game-play.
Fleetwood credits their successful product development to It's dialogue with players, owners and vendors throughout the state who provide them with key information and data.
Also to be displayed in the Fleetwood booths are the firm's flagship line Casino King which is said to be in full swing and currently one of the top games in the state.
Of interest to visitors will be the new updates which LaGaly says are "dazzling." Fleetwood's long term marketing plans for the Casino King platform include introduction of new games on a regular basis, new appearance and design enhancements and other high tech surprises.
Fleetwood's displays at the Sysco show will provide them with a showcase for their contemporary booth design slated to debut at the Montana Tavern Association trade show scheduled in September.
Commenting on the current state of the business, Fleetwood General Manager and Vice President Thom Propp stated, This year Fleetwood will display more proprietary products than ever including a new game platform and new games for existing products.
Especially proud of the new Brilliant Bet line, Propp predicts the series will be widely accepted in both the upright and slant-top models.
So when in Billings on April 9 put the Fleetwood booths at the Sysco show at the top of your list of priorities. They will be displaying from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For those unable to make it to Billings April 9, Fleetwood will soon be hosting a traveling Open House visiting a location near you. Details of the company s roving Open House will be available soon.
