RFID Innovations
As the gaming industry's leading provider of casino RFID
solutions, the Company will present its latest developments
designed to extend RFID's functionality from the cage and vault to
the gaming floor, improving casino efficiency and security. The
company will showcase the following RFID solutions:
- CIS 2.0: The Chip Inventory System uses RFID technology
to track the location and status of all RFID enabled chips
throughout the casino, increasing inventory movement efficiency and
security while providing insight into a casino's operations.
The system's real-time inventory monitoring and
authentication functions provide instant and accurate validation of
chip amounts and serial numbers and can be linked to any
third-party casino management system.
- Dual Level Chip Tray: The Dual Level Chip Tray
protects casino currency at the table while delivering real-time
chip inventory and transaction details. This innovative RFID
product enables staff and pit supervisors to focus on customer
service and other tasks, enhancing casino efficiency while
eliminating manual counting errors.
- Portable Chip Reader: By
allowing staff to quickly and accurately read, authenticate and
count chips from any location at any time, the Portable Chip Reader
extends RFID security from the cage or chip bank to the table, pit
podium and even back-of-house accounting areas. Its 3-D,
high-speed reading capability can read up to 400 chips per second
while simultaneously identifying if the chips are authentic, valid
casino currency.
- RFID Progressive Poker: Providing casinos with automated
pot calculation and currency authentication, the RFID Poker Table
solution minimizes dealer error and increases revenue potential by
automating time-consuming pot calculations. Now available with an
optional progressive jackpot where players can win all or part of
an incrementing prize, the progressive version can link multiple
tables together to drive a higher jackpot.
In addition to displaying its innovative RFID solutions, GPI
will also highlight the following product advancements during
G2E:
- B&G Premium Chip: As part of the company's focus on
offering unmatched casino currency products, GPI will emphasize its
new B&G Premium Chip line that offers casinos more customizable
design options than ever before. By working closely with each
casino customer to create a unique, one-of-a-kind chip mold design,
each B&G premium plastic injection molded chip can include up
to six individual color shots and translucent elements.
- Casino Furniture and eReady Tables: Combining
aesthetic beauty with integrated electronic functionality, all
custom-built tables on display will be "e-Ready," showcasing GPI's
ability to integrate the numerous technologies used on tables today
with a pleasing, high quality design.
"We are looking forward to this year's G2E event, where we are
pleased to exhibit our wide range of table game products that
support our casino customers' table games operations," commented
Gregory Gronau, GPI President and
Chief Executive Officer. "During the past year, we have made
significant accomplishments in expanding our currency and RFID
product offerings through strategic acquisitions that enhance each
product line's offering and by expanding our local presence in
Asia, and we are excited to show
these innovations to our customers and receive their valuable
feedback."
