"TournaMAXX™ is a fresh new take on the tournament system", said Bob Mills, Merit's Director of Network Business. "In line with our commitment to keeping operators healthy and profitable, TournaMAXX™ puts returns in operators' cashboxes. There are lots of winners with TournaMAXX™, but foremost, the operator is always number one."
The TournaMAXX™ system is set up to not only allow players across the globe to compete against one another for ranking, but it also gives customers the chance to compete against others in their region for prizes. TournaMAXX™ has already proven to boost income of units and operators that utilize it. Ongoing testing throughout Europe has proven to be overwhelmingly successful, and Merit anticipates an extremely bright future for its introduction into the North American market.
"We've seen revenue increases in all of the venues using TournaMAXX™ in North America," said Mills. "In a significant number of locations, the gross revenue increased well over 100 percent. This is definitely an operator-friendly system aimed at putting profits into operator's pockets while providing fun for players."
The uniqueness of the TournaMAXX™ system is immediately evident in the way it rewards operators. Instead of sharing the profits with Merit Industries, operators simply pay a low monthly fee, and keep the extra earnings for themselves. In addition to contributing to a more robust cashbox, TournaMAXX™ features the added benefit of providing the ability to run localized tournaments, while still enabling players to be ranked globally.
"From the start, operators have been asking for the ability to run their own tournaments, and to run them without the hassle and expense of purchasing new equipment. Merit answers that call with this system," said Bob Mills. "Operators have always used pool and dart leagues to bring people in to their locations, and the TournaMAXX™ system builds on that tradition of self-governed, on-premise promotions."
As an added bonus, TournaMAXX™ boasts (in most areas) a connection through AT&T®/B2000™, one of the finest Internet providers in the world. This system allows operators to reap all the benefits of remote operator interface. With the remote operator interface provided by the TournaMAXX™ and by accessing Merit's TournaMAXX™ website (at www.meritgames.com), operators can view standings, check connection reports, update the books and change locations all without having to ever leave the office.
"It's a very exciting time," said Dave Myers, Merit's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "Our operators wanted a tournament system with which they could manage their own tournaments. We are simply fulfilling that need. TournaMAXX™ is yet another example of Merit's dedication to making our products as beneficial as possible to operators. We want to show our operators that we are intent on keeping them successful."
