As part of the Company's ongoing commitment to developing
innovative casino currency and table game products, as well as
value-added RFID product solutions that extend the value of RFID
currency and inventory tracking, GPI is proud to highlight the
following:
- RFID Chip Rolling Solution (CRS). By automatically
tracking and validating all chip movement transactions that occur
during VIP and junket play using non-negotiable and live chips, our
RFID Chip Rolling Solution streamlines the dead-to-live chip
rolling process by automating numerous manual processes and
procedures that must be completed prior to calculating commissions
and completing individual cash-out transactions.
- RFID Total Money Management (TMM). Combining the
efficiencies of RFID with the iV8™ high-speed table game bill
validator designed by JCM, RFID Total Money Management streamlines
table game cash and chip transactions to enable an increase in
rounds per hour while providing increased currency security through
instant authentication and validation.
- Paulson® Transparent Chip Inserts. A new enhancement to
our iconic Paulson thermo-compressed clay chips, Transparent
Inserts expand the visual appeal of our traditional clay chips by
adding standard transparent shapes to the chip design.
- 4C-UV. An innovative application of ultra-violet security
protection, 4C-UV uses a standard UV detector to reveal a unique
full-color photo or image hidden in the chip decal.
- Holographic MicroDots. Available as both an overt or
covert security feature, MicroDots are miniscule hologram particles
that can be added to decal printing inks or incorporated into
transparent chip materials.
"We are excited for this year's G2E, where we will
introduce our RFID Chip Rolling Solution," commented Gregory Gronau, GPI's President and CEO. "This
easy-to-use application automates the buy-in, rolling and
settlement processes that occur in baccarat VIP and junket play to
ensure that each transaction is fast, accurate and free from the
manual transaction accounting errors that can occur during rolling.
We are anxious to receive the industry's feedback on this
innovative product that we feel offers significant operational
value."
Gronau continued, "Our RFID Total Money Management
solution, which just received a Global Gaming Business
Gaming and Technology "Best Table Game Product or Innovation"
award, also demonstrates our heightened focus on developing RFID
products that improve casino performance and efficiency. We are
committed to developing progressive solutions for the multiple RFID
technologies used by our global customers, and our G2E product
line-up reflects the invaluable feedback we regularly receive from
them."
Rob Jackson, GPI's Vice
President of Sales in the Americas, Europe and Africa added, "We will also debut a new design
and security feature for our popular Paulson chip line: Transparent
Inserts. By incorporating clear or tinted shapes into the chip, our
customers will be able to better differentiate their chip
denominations and add a difficult-to-replicate security feature. We
believe this will be of special interest to our North American
customers who continue to choose Paulson chips for their casino
currency."
