ULTRACADE
ACTIVATES HEAD2HEAD LINKING ON BREEDERS’ CUP – TOURNAMENT EDITION
MACHINES
Breeders’ Cup Players from Around
the World Compete Online and Anytime
SAN
JOSE Calif. – ULTRACADE TECHNOLOGIES, the
world's leading manufacturer of classic multi-game video machines for both the
coin-op and consumer markets, today announced that the Breeders’ Cup –
Tournament Edition coin-op game recently launched the highly anticipated
Head2Head network. Now, Breeders’ Cup players from around the country can enjoy
real-time racing anytime because of the Head2Head network feature, which allows
any location with a broadband connection to link Breeders Cup games with other
games anywhere in the world. The game automatically seeks out new players and
queues these players for the next race. A new race is launched every minute. The
Head2Head network feature is built into every Breeders’ Cup – Tournament Edition
machine.
“The reaction to this
weekend’s launch of Breeders’ Cup’s new Head2Head feature was phenomenal,” said
David R. Foley, CEO and founder of UltraCade Technologies. “We witnessed several
locations that experienced non-stop game play for over twelve hours on each day
of the weekend. The launch of the Head2Head network was a huge success for the
Breeders’ Cup game!” 
Feedback
from Players
Breeders’ Cup players
that joined in the weekend play included a large crossover demographic of
females including Linda, manager at one of the online locations Mama’s Café in
Houston Texas, who adds “Finally, a coin-op game that girls can play and
enjoy!”
“When I first look at
Breeders’ Cup game, I expected to play it for thirty minutes,” said
Casey Brock, player and webmaster of
Underdog sports. “Two hours later, I realized I was supposed to be somewhere
else! I can’t wait for the tournaments and more machines in my
area.”
Feedback
from Operators
Coin-op Operators were
even more excited than the players, many seeing earnings increase from 50% to
100% over the previous weekend’s sales figures with the addition of the new
Head2Head network feature. Irv Davidson saw earnings increased over $300 in a
three day period and said “I’m riding this horse all the way to the
bank.”
