Reading Time: 2 minutes
Cabinet Enhances Sightlines, Features Popular Orion Starwall and Library of High-Performing Games
PlayAGS, Inc. (NYSE: AGS) (“AGS” or the “Company”), a leading designer and supplier of electronic gaming machines, table products, and interactive solutions for the gaming industry, today announced the launch of its new Orion Slant platform in Class II tribal markets following its introduction in Class III markets in May 2018. The Orion Slant is now approved in more than 42 jurisdictions across North America.
The first Orion Slant cabinets for Class II were installed at the Poarch Band of Creek Indians’ Wind Creek Hospitality locations last week in Atmore, Montgomery, and Wetumpka, Alabama. AGS currently has 15 Class II slot titles available for the Orion Slant, with more games in development.
AGS’s Orion Slant cabinet is the newest member of its Orion family, following the success of the award-winning Orion Portrait platform introduced in 2017 and named one of the top 20 most innovative gaming technology products of that year.
Wind Creek Hospitality Corporate Director of Class II Gaming Operations Trenton Daughtry said, “We appreciate the opportunity to be the first property to install the Class II version of AGS’s Orion Slant. We pride ourselves on striking a good balance between player-favorite classics and new products; this is an exciting opportunity to offer an eye-catching new platform and new game content to our players.”
Although only introduced in Class III markets in May 2018, by August 31, 2018 there were already 630 Orion Slant units installed in 62 casino properties across North America. AGS introduced the sophisticated platform with three engaging titles – Dragon Fa, Phoenix Fa, and Tiger Fa. These high-volatility Asian-themed games feature AGS’s Xtreme Jackpots local-area progressives, PowerX Stream Evaluation, up to 10 free spins, and a progressive pick bonus. The Company recently added four additional titles– Aztec Gold, Fu Nan Fu Nu Lucky Dragons, Toro Gordo, and Vegas Gold – and will have a library of nearly 30 titles by the end of 2018.
AGS Senior Vice President of Slot Products Andrew Burke said, “We soft-launched the Orion Slant a couple months ago and it is already outpacing our expectations. The Orion Slant‘s presentation package, with its unique starwall design in a lower-profile cabinet, attracts players from across the casino floor, and the games available for the platform combine to deliver an exceptional player experience.”
The brilliantly engineered Orion Slant delivers dramatic attraction and gameplay excitement, with an optional 21.5-inch LCD HD topper; dual LCD HD monitors; an optional ergonomic LCD digital multi-touch button deck; and a U-shaped starwall design featuring 420 game-synchronized full-color LED lights for an innovative gameplay celebration.
The starwall’s striking ring of emotive lights surrounds the Orion Slant‘s gameplay HD LCD touchscreen monitor and can be configured to change colors and patterns on each machine or across entire banks for an engaging experience that corresponds to each feature within the game. The latest HD audio, along with a self-contained subwoofer, intensifies gameplay with a cinematic theater surround-sound experience.
The cabinet also features a USB charging port; large button deck for increased player comfort; and an optional 10.1-inch LCD button panel for a familiar digital multi-touch player user interface.
To help gaming operators effectively manage labor costs, the Orion Slant is engineered with a design that makes maintenance and service faster and easier, including centrally located locks, full-service access, and a uniquely engineered latch pin design.

nanocosmos Unveils Global MOQ Real-Time Streaming Platform at IBC 2025
nanocosmos, an award-winning pioneer in real-time video streaming, today unveils a major technology upgrade to its global real-time streaming platform based on MOQ, which will be demonstrated live at IBC 2025 (12–15 September, Amsterdam) on Stand 5.A34.
nanocosmos is presenting their production-ready global rollout of MOQ, built on a Media over QUIC (MOQ) CDN and player. The nanocosmos MOQ platform uses QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3 to deliver end-to-end latencies under 500 milliseconds.
The major technology upgrade to MOQ moves the platform to true broadcast-grade delivery with real-time interactivity on any browser or device. MOQ has not only been implemented for the last mile for video playback on all browsers, but was made an integral part of the CDN, with a high impact on improving the origin-edge network transport, especially for global media transport. Therefore nanocosmos is the first CDN operating globally with MOQ/Webtransport.
For 10 years, nanocosmos’ platform has been purpose-built for ultra-low latency, large-scale, one-to-many live streaming based on its proven H5Live technology, serving businesses where every millisecond counts — from gaming, sports betting, and live auctions to stock trading, live commerce, corporate communications, education and large-scale virtual events.
“MOQ is superior to WebRTC in terms of video quality, stability and flexibility and we are proud to introduce the first MOQ-based real-time streaming solution on a CDN foundation that is ready for worldwide deployment. With more than 25 years of experience as an innovation leader with technology made in Europe, we are once again demonstrating the great potential of European development work in global competition,” said Oliver Lietz, CEO and founder of nanocosmos.
nanocosmos’ leadership in ultra-low latency streaming has also been recognised by the industry. The company was named Winner of the “Realtime Streaming Solution” category in the 2025 Streaming Media European Innovation Awards for its nanoStream platform.
The nanocosmos MOQ platform is a complete end-to-end solution, from ingest to playback, ready for instant deployment with zero configuration. By combining QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3 with nanocosmos’ proven infrastructure, it delivers sub-second latency worldwide across 1,000+ CDN nodes, with broadcast-grade one-to-many distribution and seamless browser-native playback even under challenging network conditions.
Meet nanocosmos at IBC 2025
Visit nanocosmos in Hall 5, Booth A34 for live demos of its MOQ-based real-time streaming platform, 12th to 15th September at IBC.
Special events on the Content Everywhere Stage (Hall 5.A28) include the following presentations by CEO Oliver Lietz:
- September 12th at 12.15: Next-Generation Video Streaming with MOQ – how to build a comprehensive platform
- September 14th at 16:00: Media Over QUIC in Action: A Production-Ready Real-Time Video Platform
nanocosmos will also host a MOQtail Boat Party, on Sunday, September 14th, in association with Ali Begen, PhD, MOQ expert & founder of the MOQtail project.
