Come to the Tempus Two stand (#678) for all your on-premise wine and cocktail needs!   

At Tempus Two, our conviction is to do things a little differently from other brands. We don’t follow tradition, we go beyond it. And we want our drinkers to do the same; to enjoy our wines any way they choose.  

Our approach is simple: the best regions, the best varieties, made to be enjoyed your way across a range of wines.  

We have more than meets the eye in 2022! Tempus Two is going beyond tradition and launching a range of Gins, including a world first Prosecco Gin, and a Shiraz Gin. Unshackled from winemaking traditions, our Copper series makes any occasion a celebration, so we decided to make gin from grape wine spirits that harness each variety’s unique characteristics. Made from premium quality wine, the alcohol is gently extracted, creating grape wine spirits

that maintain the unique varietal qualities, and are infused with complementary botanicals that elevate each spirit’s inherent characteristics. 

We are also showcasing a new range of Ready-To-Drink Cocktails. Relaxed host with the most, meet Mr Stubbs, our quirky, moustached mixologist. He’s here to help you raise the bar with a range of no-fuss, bar-worthy cocktails that are so like the real deal, even your fancy friends will be impressed. 

The authentic and delicious Mr Stubbs range is inspired by popular classic cocktails, and includes a Margi, Cosmo and Espresso. Each bottle has five perfectly measured and balanced cocktail serves. Simply shake and serve! Varieties available in keg and catering sizes with tap decals available.

CASHCONNECT ATM PLUS IS SET TO BECOME A ‘CUSTOMER MAGNET’ 

Australia’s leading independent ATM deployer, Banktech, continues to build the bridge between cash and digital payments by re-inventing the ATM. 

Banktech has re-designed the humble ATM to ensure it remains an integral part of the digital age. To achieve this, Banktech has incorporated a number of additional components including a barcode scanner and a banknote acceptor, and built a sophisticated digital processing framework to deliver a wide range of digital services not previously available on an ATM. 

ATM Plus gives customers the ability to deposit and withdraw cash from a mobile digital account – whether that is a Bank account, a sports betting account or in the future a gaming account. 

“Installing a CashConnect ATM Plus terminal from Banktech ensures your venue is positioned for both a cash and digital future,“ said Henry Kiwarkis, General Manager - Sales. “ATM Plus ensures you are looking after your traditional ATM customers while also servicing the digital requirements of the next generation that carry phones - not cards.” 

Banktech is working with a range of digital partners to broaden the services available at ATM Plus.  

“ATM Plus will increasingly deliver a range of digital services that attract patrons to your venue and help grow your revenue,” said Kiwarkis.

Banktech extends 20 year partnership with THE AHA NSW 

Banktech, best known as the operator of the CashConnect ATM Network - the leading provider to the hospitality industry - recently signed a new sponsorship agreement with the Australian Hotels Association NSW. 

“We have built strong relationships with the AHA over the last 20 years and we look forward to continuing to help its members grow - particularly as they come out of COVID,” said Kiwarkis. 

“We have always found the AHA NSW to be a highly professional organisation and we are happy to throw our support behind them,” said Henry. “This was certainly true during the worst of the pandemic. The AHA offered strong leadership to the industry, while also working closely with its suppliers to ensure everyone kept their doors open.” 

“We are pleased to continue our long-term partnership with Banktech, who have always been strong supporters of our industry and have an excellent reputation among our members,” added AHA NSW CEO, John Whelan. 

Cognitec is the only company worldwide that has worked exclusively on face recognition technology since its inception in 2002, offering products for facial image database search, recorded video investigation, real-time video screening and people analytics, border control, and biometric photo capturing. 

Cognitec’s highly specialized face recognition technology FaceVACS-VideoScan has a proven track record to support physical security measures in casinos by alerting security staff in real time about banned persons entering the premises.  

Cognitec has supported various large-scale design and implementation efforts at casino sites worldwide that now successfully prevent losses and criminal activities. In addition, the technology alerts casino staff about self-enrolled problem gamblers and very important customers. 

A recently added feature set allows users to perform complex investigations on persons appearing both in real-time camera streams and stored media files.

For example, security staff can upload videos recorded at a specific location and time to track possible participants in a crime. 

Users can find a person enrolled in an image database or search for an unknown person and locate their appearances in multiple videos. Person searches can also make use of filters that specify age ranges, gender, ethnicity and glasses. 

As a component of the FaceVACS-VideoScan product, Cognitec offers a highly specialized IP video camera with built-in face detection and tracking technology. The camera provides optimal image quality for real-time face recognition, even under challenging conditions, while requiring low computing hardware and bandwidth resources. 

Visitors to the Australasian Gaming Expo in Sydney can see the technology in action at booth 344. Let our experts tell you about the outstanding performance and crime prevention values we have achieved at casinos around the world!

Hostplus Balanced (MySuper) option delivers positive returns to members in volatile year 

We were pleased to deliver a positive 1.57% return for members in our Balanced (MySuper) option in 2021/2022. This great result for members occurred in a year where the industry median return for Balanced options was negative.* 

Since the beginning of the year, challenging investment conditions have plagued global markets. Political tensions, rising inflation and increasing interest rates are driving this volatility. 

In these conditions, Hostplus delivered investment outperformance to our members, relative to our peers. Over 1, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 years to 30 June 2022, the Hostplus Balanced option ranked as the #1 top-performing option.* 

This performance track record is testament to our active investment approach. We believe active management and strategic asset allocation will be the key to managing continued volatility over the coming years. It’s an investment strategy that aims to perform in different market conditions, helping smooth out returns over the longer term by choosing investments (both listed and unlisted) based on how we believe they will perform in different market conditions. Our active management strategy is informed by regular and independent valuations of our listed and unlisted assets. 

Positive achievements for our Socially Responsible Investment option 

Our Socially Responsible Investment option also achieved a positive return of 2.36% for the financial year.

This occurred in the same year we announced our commitment to transitioning to net zero by 2050. It demonstrates the impact active management can have in delivering strong investment returns. 

When it comes to investing sustainably, it’s not just about what you exclude. It’s what you include that makes the biggest impact. Hostplus was recently recognised by Rainmaker Information as an ‘ESG leader’. The rating recognises funds with high environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. They must also have a track record of strong investment performance. 

We are proud our members can choose what they invest their money in. And that they can do so without compromising their investment returns. 

Staying calm in the face of market volatility 

History shows the volatility experienced in the first half of 2022 can spook members. This can prompt moves to switch super balances to less volatile options. But it’s important members use moments like these to pause and reflect on their objectives. What we’ve seen recently is a normal part of investing in assets like shares. 

Hostplus’ investment strategy is highly diversified and built for the long-term. Our leading investment returns reflect the advantages of scale and stability, and demonstrate the importance of a robust, long-term investment strategy.  

Some staff may be feeling concerned about their investments in these challenging times. It’s a good idea to seek financial advice before making any decisions to switch investments. Hostplus members can access a range of financial advice tools that can help. Chat to the team at the AGE, or visit hostplus.com.au/financial-planning to learn more.

For the past 36 years, Karo has designed and manufactured high-quality office chairs and gaming stools for clubs, pubs, hotels and casinos. We are a specialist manufacturer of seating products for the gaming industry and our stools can be found in gaming venues located in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, New Zealand and Australia. All our stools are designed and manufactured in South Africa and carry a 7-year warranty.  

At Karo, we understand that gaming stools are a significant investment and it is essential that they satisfy the requirements of both the venue operator, and their patrons.  

For the venue operator: a reliable product and cost-effective service package is a priority. 

The patrons on the other hand, demand a clean and ergonomically comfortable seat that is easy to move into position.

To satisfy these requirements, we offer a smarter seating solution.

For example: 

• Our experience in designing high-quality office chairs allows us to incorporate modern ergonomic principles into our gaming stools, thereby improving the comfort of your patrons.
  

• In 2013, we developed the Ezi-Glide Disc Base that allows you to effortlessly move our gaming stools across any type of floor surface. 

• We upholster our stools using a glue-free process that allows for more cost-effective reupholstery, thereby prolonging the life of the chairs.  

• For improved patron comfort and cleanliness, our Quick-Release seats make it possible to quickly exchange a soiled or damaged seat cushion within minutes, right on the gaming floor. 

• Our exclusive taper-lock design allows our pedestal stools to be easily converted from one height to another at a fraction of the cost of a new stool. This translates into a significant saving when new machine bases result in your existing stools being at the incorrect ergonomic height.  

• To further improve comfort and longevity, our seats are all manufactured in-house using automotive-grade PU moulded foam. 

• The heavy-duty and robust design of our casino chairs allows us to offer a 7-year warranty on all our ranges.  

• Our unique weld-free design for pedestal stools eliminates the catastrophic failures commonly associated with chairs that have welded joints.
