LAS VEGAS, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific
Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the
"Company") has secured its third casino-management systems
solutions contract with a Hard Rock International-managed casino
resort, signing an agreement with Inversiones y Entretenimiento PC
to supply a broad portfolio of casino systems solutions to Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic after an outstanding
service performance review and an extensive supplier evaluation
process.
Scientific Games is replacing a competitor's systems solutions
at the Caribbean casino resort,
which features a 45,000 square foot casino with more than 450 slot
machines and 40 table games.
Scientific Games is the casino-management systems solution
provider to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Hollywood, Fla.), the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino (Tampa, Fla.) and the
Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park (Cleveland, Ohio).
Hard Rock International's Executive Vice President of
Operations, Hotels & Casinos Jon
Lucas said, "After our positive experiences with Scientific
Games at our Florida and
Ohio properties, it was an easy
decision to engage Scientific Games once again for Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino Punta Cana."
"The strength and breadth of Scientific Games' marketing and
bonusing solutions was a key driver of our decision, as we
continuously strive to drive loyalty, reward our guests and add
excitement to the gaming experience at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Punta Cana," Lucas added.
Scientific Games will begin the systems conversion this calendar
quarter.
Derik Mooberry, Scientific Games
Group Chief Executive, Gaming, said, "We are greatly honored that
one of the world's most globally recognized brands, Hard Rock
International, will extend its relationship with Scientific Games
at this beautiful casino resort in the Dominican Republic. Through the power of our
robust marketing, player tracking, and customer-service solutions,
we are confident Hard Rock International will drive player
excitement, engagement and casino revenue while also streamlining
operations."

tracking, bonusing, promotions and cage and pit accounting.

that enable floorwide bonuses, promotions, tournaments,
virtual-racing events, dynamic random bonusing, flex rewards, video

rule-driven applications, automating the traditional dispatch
