INSTALLATIONS GPI at Cratos and Costa Brava G


aming Partners International has completed delivery of the order of casino currency to the Cratos Premium resort in Northern Cyprus. The order, which included over 27,000 casino chips and plaques from the GPI’s Bourgogne & Grasset


(B&G) line of casino currency products, is the first for GPI in a relatively new gaming market. The Cratos Premium will feature the biggest plaques, in both size and denomination, ever offered on the island of Cyprus. They will feature the latest designs and the newest state-of-the-art materials available. “The Cratos Premium promises to be one of the most luxurious resorts in the Mediterranean and we are proud that they have chosen our B&G chips and plaques as their casino currency of choice,” said Greg Gronau, President and CEO of GPI.


GPI also recently completed delivering casino currency to the Gran


Casino Costa Brava in Spain. With this delivery, GPI provided over 69,000 casino chips and plaques to the casino, which opened in July. The chips and plaques are from the well-known Bourgogne & Grasset line of casino currency products, and are fitted with 125 KHz RFID (radio frequency identification device) micro chips. Along with the RFID casino chips, GPI also provided the casino with integrated RFID Cashier’s desk and Table Top readers. The RFID technology offered with all GPI’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 specialized 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 delighted that the Gran Casino Costa Brava has chosen to utilize GPI’s RFID chips and plaques, as well as the RFID readers, for its table games,” commented Greg Gronau, President and CEO of GPI. “They were searching for the highest quality and durability in its casino currency, as well as the most reliable security features, and our B&G chips and plaques with integrated RFID technology fulfilled all of their requirements.”

uzo Happ has completed its value- added trial of the MEI CASHFLOW SC banknote reader at Casino Apollonia in Macedonia. Management at Casino Apollonia


now specifies MEI with immediate effect on all new slots purchases. Suzo Happ introduced the MEI CASHFLOW SC banknote reader to Casino Apollonia last year. Casino management was suitably impressed with the MEI CASHFLOW SC banknote reader that a value-added trial (VAT) over a period of several months was agreed upon. This gave casino staff on the floor the ideal opportunity to get to know the MEI CASHFLOW SC banknote reader and compare performance with other bill readers. The performance of the MEI CASHFLOW SC banknote reader stood out so strongly that the casino management took the decision to specify MEI 100% on all new slots purchases.


This strategy has already been implemented with fifty new slots on the floor placed with MEI. “That means that already almost a third of all the slots on the Casino Apollonia floor have MEI fitted”, enthused Mr. Joost van Egeraat, Suzo Happ Regional Sales Manager. Casino Apollonia operates a total of 184 slots, the majority stemming from IGT and WMS with further slots also from Novomatic, Bally, Aristocrat and Atronic. Mr. Janne Rantala, Slots Manager at Casino Apollonia, underlines the company decision to specify MEI, “The bill reader is essential to game play. Thus, the VAT was given utmost priority. The results speak for themselves. The MEI CASHFLOW SC bill reader is extremely reliable and very easy to work with. They are a class for themselves and so it was a natural step to specify MEI”. Asked about the co-operation with Suzo Happ, Mr. Rantala explains, “Suzo Happ is our main spare part supplier. They


offer the best products in the industry and the service they provide is excellent”. This close collaboration with Suzo Happ has paid further dividends for Casino Apollonia. All slots on the casino floor have been updated with the locks from ASSA, provided by Suzo Happ. “ASSA has the best quality locks in the world”, Mr. Rantala succinctly states. Mr. Erik Wijma, Sales Director of Suzo Happ, comments, “We wish to thank Janne and his team for their willingness to trial new innovations within the Suzo Happ product range. I also wish to thank my colleagues Joost van Egeraat and Marc Martens for their professional support to the Casino Apollonia team. The good news of Casino Apollonia specifying MEI and ASSA underlines the innovation and service that Suzo Happ is bringing to the market”. Casino Apollonia is based in Gevgelija in Macedonia, on the border with Greece.
