Player Classic Signature , the newest addition to Everi ’ s three-reel cabinet portfolio , is inspired by the more than 15 years of success of the Player Classic and Skyline cabinets , which continue to rank as top cabinets in industry reports year after year . The innovation behind Player Classic Signature means that it was built for the future , while the classic look and feel honors and respects the rich history of Player Classic and the loyal stepper player .
Everi ’ s deep understanding of the classic three-reel mechanical player guided its design decisions , resulting in enhanced overall functionality from viewing angles to creature comforts . The cabinet features a four-button deck for easy bet selection and quick play , a clear digital touch meter panel to improve player ergonomics , and wider , more intelligent , and more powerful spinning reels for added excitement . The interactive pay tables are large and positioned front and center to help simplify game play while the high-resolution 28-inch top box monitor im-
proves game marketability with an updated topper to match the cabinet ’ s aesthetic .
Player Classic Signature features several elements that operators will appreciate , including better thermal management and serviceability . Game conversions are smoother with the transition to an LCD for the pay tables and the belly glass is easier to convert . The simplified button deck consists of just four buttons , eliminating deck changes for games .
Player Classic Signature launched with three distinct game families , each consisting of a pair of classic stepper titles — the Gems Deluxe Series , the Jackpot Power Series , and the Extra Spin Series . These games align with elements stepper players appreciate : a math-first focus , unique play mechanics , and dynamic art and audio .
Player Classic Signature indicates the core mechanical segment is stronger than ever as the cabinet is the most demanded pre-launch games product Everi has ever had since its debut with positive reviews from customers and trade press alike .
