Richly interactive, visually-arresting digital casino gaming systems need an embedded processing platform that can deliver stunning graphics, enabled by advanced 4K multimedia processing capabilities, and video and 3D acceleration. Multi-display graphics support has emerged as another ‘must have’ feature for digital gaming systems, enhancing players’ immersion in the gaming experience with overhead visuals and/or panoramic ‘surround sight’ screen configurations.

High-performance AMD Embedded processors can help game designers achieve these and other key design features, and accelerate the evolution toward sophisticated next-generation gaming capabilities including gesture control and player facial recognition. Delivering vibrant, real-time 4K and 3D graphics and video across multiple large displays, AMD Embedded processors enable highly-engaging gaming experiences that attract players’ attention, hold their interest and heighten their enjoyment – enticing them to stay at the gaming machines longer, thereby helping expand revenue opportunities for casino operators.

KEY AMD BENEFITS4K Multimedia Performance Full 4K support enables exceptional video and graphics quality, with hardware acceleration for 4K video leveraging next-generation video codecs like HEVC/H.265, and multiple 4K display capabilities.

Multi-display Immersion AMD Embedded processors enable designers to create a wide range of display configurations through the availability of independent display controllers and AMD Eyefinity technology, allowing the display of different content on separate screens or the spanning of content across multiple screens in a number of different configurations.

Cinematic Visual Quality AMD embedded cards support High Dynamic Range (HDR), a technology which vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most high-quality SDR content.

Breakthrough Power/Performance AMD Embedded Radeon™ GPUs deliver blazing processing speeds, achieving up to 2.5 TFLOPS in a sub-50W TDP board power profile (AMD Embedded Radeon™ E9260).

Scalable Solutions AMD Embedded processors offer a wide range of price, power and performance options, with pin and software stack compatibility among select processors to enable platform scalability from entry-level to high-end games, with lower development costs, and faster time to market.

Advanced Security AMD Embedded processors feature an on-board AMD Secure Processor, designed to enable secure boot and encryption capabilities, helping to ensure a robust security architecture.

Power Efficiency and Compact Form Factors AMD Embedded processors are available in a range of thermal design power (TDPs) profiles and form factors, helping designers achieve optimal performance-per-watt and space utilization, and enabling myriad deployment and configuration possibilities.

Application Brief: AMD DIGITAL CASINO GAMING APPLICATION BRIEF

KEY SEGMENTS IN THE GAMING MARKETDigital Casino Gaming

The need to deliver engaging, theme-based entertainment presented on multiple large, touch-screen 4K displays, with vibrant 3D graphics, is increasing in importance for digital slot machines, poker machines, roulette and blackjack.

Pachinko/Pachislot Systems These systems are mostly unique to Japan, but are immensely popular and require reliable, low-power solutions that can still provide engaging graphics displays.

Arcade Gaming Arcade gaming machines now typically involve immersive, high-performance 4K and 3D graphics, surround sound and mechanical/tactile feedback.

Amusement with Prize (AWP) Besides high-end graphics, these machines require easy manageability and high levels of security because of their often remote locations.

Video/Lottery Terminals (VLT) VLTs need to be low-cost and low power, yet reliable and able to provide a high level of graphics output.
