Vaprel participated in the latest edition of Expojoc

What are you presenting in this edition of Expojoc?

It is a showcase extractor. Depends on the country is called urn, bolillero, etc. It is the one which performs the draw of the balls in the bingo hall. We have introduced a new machine that is totally mechanical, it does not work with air, and, as a main novelty, apart from being pneumatic, it is that you do not stop seeing the ball at any time. You are always looking at the whole journey, from being drawn until it is read and then accumulating or stored for the next game. Among other things, in addition to the information system for rooms in high definition, Android applications for informative tablets to play multiple cartons, both in a traditional way, that is, with the typical paper carton, and electronically. This is a system that we already have implemented in several communities here in Spain, and we are trying to introduce it into the communities that we lack. Because as you know, in this country each community regulates as it sees fit. We are also introducing it internationally in some European countries.

How do you see the Spanish market with respect to VAPREL products?

Well, the Spanish market, as always, at a regulatory level, entrepreneurs and manufacturers are ahead of politicians. And in fact, this product that we already presented 5 years ago, we have only been able to introduce it in 5 or 6 autonomous communities. There are 17 in Spain, with which we still have enough to introduce it. We hope and wish that the political representatives of the institutions can implement this system.

What balance can you make about this year's edition of Expojoc?

The truth is that we must bear in mind that Expojoc is more focused on the development of conferences and round tables related to the game than as a fair of pure and simple exhibition, with which the exhibition environment is much smaller than it can be in a fair that is exclusively dedicated to this part of the business. Here people who come simply to conferences or congress come together, with other people who come to the exhibition of products, as is our case. Starting from that fact, obviously the expectations can not be the same as a pure and hard fair as it could be in Madrid or in London or Las Vegas. Thus, the conclusions are very positive. Visitors came from all over Spain.

With respect to the Millenials, has VAPREL contemplated a game?

Electronic bingo room, which is a bingo combined with cardboard, is designed in that type of player, who seeks a different leisure without being able to interfere in their relationships with their friends, because having a finish that is playing for you but participating in a much bigger prize because it is integrated into what traditional bingo is, allows you to interact with the rest of the people while playing bingo. This occurs within the room itself or within an annexed, limited area, with ambient music, bar, public moving, etc, or even in an annex outside of what is the environment of the bingo itself. The system allows you to integrate it or sectorize it.
