Innovative Entertainment: GameTech Internationalis arriving in Germany to give the Army MWR the latest in innovative entertainment for our troops overseas. The GameTech Mini is a high-tech wireless device that you can hold in your hands. Imagine a hand held device that plays all of your favorite games. The GameTech Mini will initially support seven games: two video poker games, three video slots, keno and a progressive bingo game.

Progressive Bingo: The GameTech Mini will be introduced at Top Hat Club in Mannheim, Patrick Henry Bowling Center in Heidelberg, Armstrong's Irish Pub in Kaiserslautern, Galaxy Bowl in Stuttgart and Cappuccino Casino in Wiesbaden, with a unique linked progressive jackpot feature. Each location can monitor the called balls "real time" on a plasma screen. "Linked" means that all five locations contribute to the prize and compete with each other for the winnings. This prize grows with the number of bingo cards purchased. A bonus bingo number is selected by the system and if this number hits on the last draw of a winning bingo card, you win! A percentage of the Bingo buy-in also goes to the Standard Bingo Prize, and the more Bingo cards purchased, the higher the amount gets. The secondary Standard Bingo Prize means exciting action, competition and a winner every game!

How to Play: The GameTech Mini is designed for simplicity and flexibility. Check out a GameTech Mini at the cashier station by purchasing your play amount. Your buy-in will be credited in full to the device for play. The GameTech Mini is a touch-screen, with many help screens available. When you are finished, simply take the GameTech Mini back to the cashier, who will pay you for all remaining credits.

Wireless and Mobile: The GameTech MINI is wireless and mobile, and therefore can be played anywhere inside the selected locations. The device will not function if removed fromthe building.
