GPI to showcase advances in RFID casino applications

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Gaming Partners International (GPI) will present its latest in RFID casino applications at the upcoming Global Gaming Expo Asia trade show, all of which are aimed to improve accuracy and increase the speed of various actions carried out within the casino industry.

Among the many of the products to be featured at the GPI stand will be the company’s RFIDPoker application, which is designed to provide automated and constant readings of the poker pots, charges and rakes. Leveraging this system, casino owners can acquire data and statistics such as game analysis, table performances, round-ups lists, and daily totals.


Also featured will be GPI’s newest version of the Electronic Chips Surveillance (ECS) system, ideal for deterring the unwanted removal of gaming chips by casino personnel.

GPI’s RFID Cage application, with a new countertop reader that works in three dimensions, will also be showcased at the event. The new reader will enable cage operators to read chips whether they are in stacks, in chip racks or in a pile.

The Global Gaming Expo Asia tradeshow will be held on June 9-10 at the Cotai Strip CotaiExpo at the Venetian Macao. [end]
