With a long-standing tradition of providing gaming
operators with a full range of casino currency and table game
products and solutions, the Company will demonstrate an array of
offerings designed to provide casino operators expanded chip,
plaque and jeton options and other products and solutions that can
help maximize their table game performance. The highlighted
products will include:
- Currency Products
- New Paulson Chip Features. Extending the design
and identification possibilities of its popular Paulson clay chip
brand, new mold and color options will be highlighted, including
the ability to embed each chip's denomination in the mold.
This valuable feature assists in quicker chip validation and
provides a higher level of chip security against
counterfeiting.
- Standard 4C-UV Designs. Making it possible for
customers to incorporate 4C-UV into small run orders that don't
require a custom design, new 4C-UV designs that extend the quick
identification properties of this innovative ultra-violet security
feature will be demonstrated.
- B&G J3 Jeton. With its unmatched visual appeal
and its extensive range of design and security feature options, the
J3 allows for quicker and easier identification when in racks or
stacks. Its innovative construction enables this unique product to
offer customers the ability to include both RFID and EM detection
in the same chip, an accomplishment that was not previously
possible.
- New B&G Plaque & Jeton Materials. The
Company will also highlight its attractive range of new plaque and
jeton material options that help expand these products'
customization capabilities and enable easier differentiation
between old and new chip sets.
- Gaming Tables and Cards
- Paulson Value Table. Through innovative
manufacturing and design, the Paulson Value table offers GPI
quality and durability at a lower cost. Each table is manufactured
with the same workmanship and wide range of material options as
GPI's standard gaming tables, but provides casinos with a more
economical option.
- Paulson Plastic Cards. Perfect for use on table
games with a high level of card handling, Paulson plastic cards are
available in both standard and bridge size and in single deck or
two deck poker sets. Additionally, they offer the same
customization options as both the Company's popular Paulson and
Paulson PSV paper playing card products.
- RFID Products & Solutions
- RFID Tray Inventory Module (TIM). An
optional feature that works with GPI's Chip Inventory System (CIS),
the Tray Inventory Module can be used with any of the Company's
RFID chip trays. By automating manual tasks like table openings and
closings, TIM provides operators with real-time table currency
inventory and security monitoring while delivering critical time
saving benefits.
- RFID Plaque Box. The first of its kind, GPI's
Plaque Box is an innovative RFID product that provides secure
protection of the casino's highest value currency items while
enabling real-time counting and movement details. With its ability
to store and track dozens of variable size RFID plaques during game
play, the Plaque Box can be installed next to a regular chip tray
or installed with GPI's RFID Dual Chip Tray for maximum table
currency accounting and efficiency.
- RFID Dual Chip Tray. By providing real-time
information of all chip movement and inventory activities, the Dual
Chip Tray reduces game downtime caused by manual rack counts and
can be integrated with a casino's management system via CIS to
provide real-time information on table activity, chip inventory
balances and more.
"G2E is a great opportunity for GPI to demonstrate our new
and innovative currency and table game products," commented GPI
President and CEO Gregory Gronau.
"Our customers are constantly looking for new product innovations
and for expanded product options to be more competitive, streamline
operations and to differentiate themselves from their competition.
Across the board, our G2E line-up addresses these
needs."
Gronau continued: "Additionally, with the continued
growing interest in RFID products and solutions that improve casino
performance and efficiency, we are proud to showcase our latest
enhancements like TIM and our RFID Plaque Box. Together, these
time-saving products help operators maximize their table revenue by
eliminating unnecessary game delays and providing more currency
security at busy tables. Our products serve as a testament to our
commitment to our customers and helping them improve their
operational performance."
Rob Jackson, GPI's Vice
President of Sales in the Americas, Europe and Africa added, "It is always exciting to
announce additions to our product lines. With Paulson being the
gaming chip of choice for our North American customers, we have
added new mold patterns and colors to provide them added design and
customization options. I am especially excited about our new molds
that feature a chip's denomination, as this new feature will help
operators more easily validate their currency and provide an
additional security feature that will help deter counterfeiting.
These additional selections provide our customers the most
extensive suite of currency options available in the
market."
