AC Coin going at it alone

PLEASANTVILLE, New Jersey -- As reported by The Press of Atlantic City: "AC Coin & Slot will now be competing with the giants of the reel world.

"The family-owned slot manufacturer has restructured its long-time partnership with slots giant International Gaming Technology, finally getting the freedom to sell its own slot machines to casinos all over the globe.

"'The biggest question we have gotten from our customers over the last 10 years is, 'Why can't we buy your slot machines?' said Jason Seelig, AC Coin's executive vice president of corporate sales. 'Well, now they can.'

"However, this new-found independence for the Seelig family comes with the challenge of positioning Pleasantville-based AC Coin to compete with the big boys of the slots industry, including IGT.

"Mac Seelig, family patriarch and company president, flashed a confident smile and shrugged his shoulders to suggest he wasn't scared. He noted the company is already looking at casino markets in Australia, Macau and South Africa for growth..."
