American Gaming Systems(R) (AGS) Announces Licensing Agreement for Are You Smarter Than a 5TH Grader?(R)
(firmenpresse) - LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/12 -- AGS®, a leading designer, manufacturer and operator of gaming machines with more than 7,500 installed gaming machines, announced today that:
AGS has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with One Three Media (a Hearst / Mark Burnett company) for the development of gaming devices based on the popular hit television show ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? (5th Grader).
5th Grader is the second licensed brand secured by AGS over the last 12 months. "Our development team is eagerly working on taking the elements of 5th Grader from a television based game show and converting them into a dynamic and interactive trivia based gaming device unlike any other in the gaming industry," said Olaf Vancura, Vice President of Game Development at AGS. "5th Grader has made it fun to question ourselves in terms of what we know or may have forgotten. Do we really know more than grade school students? Slot players everywhere will soon be able to find out with actual questions from the hit show and with real money at stake!"
With its proprietary 3-D graphics engine, AGS' Roadrunner™ platform, which features an accelerated video frame refresh rate, producing crystal-clear graphics and superior game-play features, will power the ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? game. Roadrunner also allows AGS to develop both Class III and Class II titles that give players the same entertainment experience and boosts AGS' commitment to support its Class II customers and markets.
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? premiered on FOX in 2007 and had FOX's highest rating for a non-special in its timeslot since 1999. The game show has been distributed in more than 150 countries worldwide. The 5th Grader brand is well recognized and its merchandise licensing program has produced more than $80M in wholesale sales.
With roots in the gaming industry dating back to 1996, AGS' current portfolio of products includes Class III and Class II machines, Class III and Class II server-based gaming and wide-area progressives. Privately held, AGS is a leading designer and manufacturer of Class II gaming machines for the Native American gaming market with an emerging presence in a broad range of commercial markets in the United States. AGS has sales, service, development or management locations in Nevada, Illinois, Oklahoma and Canada.
