Typhoon™ — a revolution in wagering & gaming

Typhoon™ will unleash a revolution in wagering & gaming. Here's why:

It is cheaper to acquire
Typhoon™ runs on economical, commercial off-the-shelf server hardware. It takes advantage of leading edge computer technology using configurations specifically chosen to optimise its performance.

It is cheaper to maintain
Typhoon™ avoids proprietary hardware and software. This prevents expensive vendor lock in.

It is more reliable
Typhoon™ takes full advantage of the demonstrably superior open source Linux operating system. Typhoon™ is written entirely in Java giving it all of the benefits of state-of-the-art 21st century software engineering. Typhoon™ is highly robust and extremely reliable.

It is easier to use
Typhoon™ employs the well known, standards based Linux operating system. Typhoon™ provides a sophisticated graphical user interface for monitoring and controlling all aspects of its operation.

Its non-stop
Typhoon™ never needs to shutdown for system housekeeping. Typhoon™ is not a batch system based on a daily start-stop operational cycle — it operates 24x7, day-in and day-out. Betting doesn't ever have to stop — not even momentarily.

It is more adaptable to change
Typhoon™ is written in Java which guarantees its portability across new generations of server platforms. Java is a modern object oriented language and so Typhoon™ is easy to enhance because its software is extremely modular and extensively parameterised.

It provides a better service to the customer
Typhoon™ offers by far the greatest range of combination and permutation wager options. It also provides the widest range of betting trend displays which are accessible via conventional point of sale displays, the internet and mobile internet.

It is multichannel
Typhoon™ can support customer interactions through conventional point of sale terminals, self-serve terminals, traditional telephone betting call centres, interactive voice response, voice recognition, the internet and mobile internet. It handles both cash and account-based wagering.

It is fault resilient
Typhoon™ employs a no-single-point-of-failure system architecture. Fault detection and fail-over is completely automated and requires no operator intervention.

It is proven
Typhoon™ is the latest system developed by members of the team that created the world's first sell-pay totalisator and who introduced the first computer-to-computer cross betting facility. The developers have been designing and implementing innovative large-scale wagering and gaming systems continuously for more than three decades.

It is evolutionary
Typhoon™ builds on a system architecture which has been field proven in totalisator, lottery and keno deployments throughout the world.

It is also revolutionary
Typhoon™ extends its proven system architecture with innovations that give it the agility and the versatility to capture markets that have previously been unreachable using conventional totalisator systems.

It is universal
It is universal because Typhoon™ caters to more than just horse racing.

Typhoon™ also sets a new standard for flexibility; there can be any number of contestants on an event — even hundreds. Typhoon™ lets you create pools on-the-fly as an event unfolds in real-time.

It is persistent
Given sufficient storage, Typhoon™ keeps every transaction it processes perpetually. This means that if an identifiable customer interacts with Typhoon™ at one point in time, and interacts again later, you can correlate these events and begin to understand what motivated them to wager.

It is visionary
Typhoon™ lets customers see betting information that has never been available before. While betting is taking place, they can see progressive dividends for any bet type including all exotic multi-dimensional pools.

It is connected
Typhoon™ uses IP-based networking technologies. These facilitate internetworking between cooperating servers in a deployment and guarantee interoperability with external application servers. Typhoon™ supports the ITSP cross-betting protocol as well as the Typhoon Syndication Protocol.

It is protected
Typhoon™ uses a system architecture that ensures that the critical wagering servers are isolated from the potentially hostile internet. Typhoon™ encrypts all communications traffic that is sent externally using industry standard, strong cryptographic ciphers.

It is responsible
Typhoon™ incorporates a player protection framework designed to prevent aberrant customer behaviour.

It is better than the rest
Typhoon's™ sophisticated wagering facilities allow customers to derive good value for their entertainment expenditure. They benefit from making informed wagering decisions based on up-to-the-second trend data, which is available for all bet types, including exotics.

Typhoon's™ sophisticated features enhance customer stickiness and brand recognition. It delivers wagering and gaming related entertainment services across a multitude of channels including conventional point of sale, all variations of telephone-based betting, the internet and mobile internet.

Typhoon™ gives customers uninterrupted access to all available wagering and gaming facilities.
