GLENDALE, Calif. — FutureLogic Inc., manufacturer of thermal ticket printers for cashless gaming, announced in a news release that it received the prestigious Golden Dasha award for "Best Start-up" at the December 2005 EELEX international gaming exhibition in Moscow.
Management of the EELEX trade show, which attracted more than 200 exhibitors and nearly 12,000 attendees from 53 countries, presented FutureLogic with the Golden Dasha award in recognition of "the best and most mature first year of operation within the Russian market."
John Edmunds, general manager for FutureLogic Europe, received the award on behalf of the FutureLogic team. He said, "This award validates the effort we have made over the last 18 months to develop outstanding personal, commercial and technical relationships within the Russian market. We are truly pleased and honored."
Over the past year, FutureLogic has developed a wide range of collaborative business agreements in Russia to provide comprehensive sales and service support for its GEN2 thermal ticket printers and ProMatrix promotional couponing system. This has resulted in preferred or approved vendor status with the country's major game manufacturers and a growing installed base in casinos throughout Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe.
"This award reflects the respect and credibility that FutureLogic has earned with customers, partners and peers in the Russian gaming industry," said Sergey Kazakov, EELEX's general manager. "The company's commitment to innovative gaming technology, advancing TITO (ticket-in, ticket-out) operations throughout the world and the professionalism of the European team is clearly the key to their successful business start in Russia."
