endxhistory
This is a recreation of the EndX Group website, endxgroup.com, built from captures saved by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows the site roughly as it stood in 2004–05, with the press archive running to the end of 2005. EndX no longer trades: none of the phone numbers, email addresses or forms on these pages reach anyone. Timeline | Oct 1997 | Nick Boyes-Hunter and Martin Sykes leave SGM, the software arm of Aristocrat, and set up EndX in Oldham. The first job is a marketing add-on for three London casinos: Crockfords, the Colony and the Mint. | | 1999 | endx.co.uk is online. EndX is at 1 Southlink Business Park, Hamilton Street, Oldham, selling membership software to casinos and to bingo, leisure and snooker clubs. Casino Middlekerke in Belgium starts using it in May. | | 2001 | Casinos Austria's three Hungarian casinos go live in January. Stanley Casinos finish rolling out EndX in August, and Grosvenor follows the cage system with Club and Player Tracking. In December EndX signs a European agreement with Mikohn. | | 2002 | The Casino iPad hand-held is launched at ICE in January. In September the website relaunches as endxgroup.com and EndX opens an office in Las Vegas. Turnover is up more than 4.5 times since 1999; EndX is 32nd in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 and 5th in the Deloitte Fast 50 for the North. | | 2003 | Gala signs for the full suite, taking EndX past 85% of UK casinos. Sales for 2002 are reported at £1.8m, up from £662,000 in 2000. 15th in the Deloitte Fast 50. | | 2004 | MediaLink launches in January. In March the other shareholders buy Martin Sykes's stake and he becomes Development Director. BCLC, Blue Chip, Aspinalls and Spearmint come on board, EndX becomes iView's European distributor and opens an office in Macau, and comes 14th in the Deloitte Fast 50. | | 2005 | All 41 Stanley casinos standardise on EndX (January) and EndX buys iView Systems (February). On 6 September Progressive Gaming International, formerly Mikohn, announces a definitive agreement to acquire EndX Group. | | Nov 2006 | The last full captures of endxgroup.com. By now the contact page lists Progressive Gaming's UK office. | | 2007 | Old EndX links land on a Progressive Gaming page that apologises for the "outdated EndX website link" and points visitors to Progressive Gaming for "re-branded EndX products". | | Dec 2008 | endxgroup.com redirects straight to progressivegaming.net. | | 2026 | The domain is registered again and the site is rebuilt from the Internet Archive. |
How it was rebuilt - Layout, tables, rollover buttons, graphics and the two Flash movies are the originals, recovered from the Archive. The Flash plays through Ruffle.
- Graphics the Archive never saved, such as the banner and some menu buttons, have been redrawn to match.
- Page text has been rewritten in shorter form from the archived pages. Names, figures and dates are unchanged, and press stories keep their original headlines and a short quote where one survives.
- The members area was password protected and was never archived. Most product screenshots and press photos, and the downloadable newsletter, are also lost.
- The French, Spanish, German and Italian sections are not included.
Older versions Before September 2002 EndX lived at endx.co.uk. Two earlier versions of that site are rebuilt here:
