Hey, guys -

Just wanted you to be the first to know that we posted another article on our player site, www.magictouchwinners.com

This time we take you behind the scenes of the sounds in Tiki Party - our cool, new Polynesian-themes slot game (coming to a casino near you later this year). This short article includes a three-minute podcast from the game's Audio Director Matt Kern shedding some light on what it takes to bring the Big Island to the casino floor.

Here's a direct link (http://www.magictouchwinners.com/?p=211)

If you have a topic that you'd like us to write about - or a question you always wanted to ask a slot machine manufacturer, feel free to let us know!

Have a nice weekend,

Dan at IT

Fantastic stuff -- thank you for posting. Do you ever bring in live musical artists or have voice-over folks record sound clips for your games? I think it'd be a hoot to see a "behind the scenes" video of that kind of stuff being recorded as part of the process of creating a game. I think most folks (myself included) don't really think about the dozens of things that have to be created to make one slot game.

REALLY looking forward to this one. I love, love, love Hawaii. The Big Island is one of my favs. I'm sitting here right now listening to Hawaiian music. Can't wait to play this one!

We do a lot of that type of work - including in our amusement products, like Golden Tee. Our talent ranges from serious stuff, like Jim Nantz, Peter Jacobsen, Pat Somerall the OCC guys to some of crazier stuff in the slot world... for instance... animals. :) Stay tuned to the magictouchwinners.com site, I plan to tell many of these stories soon!

And thanks for the kind words, Patricia. Nothin better than thinkin' Tiki and February...
