Gaming Partners International Corporation (Nasdaq: GPIC), a leading provider of casino currency and table game equipment worldwide, says it has signed its biggest ever deal with a new casino property.
The contract is with Galaxy Macau, the new Cotai property from Galaxy Entertainment Group due to open in the first half of next year. GPIC will supply all of the property’s casino chips and plaques—approximately one million in total, fitted with high specification radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.
The chips and plaques for Galaxy Macau are from GPIC’s prestigious Bourgogne & Grasset® line of casino currency products. They will include a variety of styles, shapes and colour combinations, as well as a number of security features, including RFID. GPIC will be supplying a number of chip sets which will be customised to meet the casino’s aesthetic, operational and security requirements.
The RFID technology offered with all GPIC’s lines of casino currency allows casinos to verify the authenticity and value of each chip instantly, reducing the possibility of counterfeiting, staff pilferage or miscounts. With specialised readers and software, this technology enables casinos to track individual chips throughout the gaming floor as well as follow payments, fills and credits, tips, and wins and losses per table at any time of the day.
“We are privileged to work with the Galaxy Entertainment Group again to supply their flagship property, Galaxy Macau, with their chips and plaques,” said Greg Gronau, President and CEO of GPIC.
GPI’s casino currency products include high-quality chips, plaques and jetons, all available with a variety of security features and customisation options. GPIC’s products are manufactured worldwide in its high security, high-capacity production facilities. The company’s products have been used in casinos all over the world since 1925.
