INSTALLATIONS Foxwoods agrees TransAct expansion F
oxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods has forged an agreement with TransAct Technologies to install the EPICENTRAL Print System in slot machines throughout the MGM Grand at Foxwoods.
This expansion calls for an increase in the installation of the EPICENTRAL system from 300 slot machines to all 1,100 machines at MGM Grand at Foxwoods.
“We’re looking forward to experiencing the EPICENTRAL Print System and hearing feedback from our loyal gamers,” said Lou Rosa, Vice President of Slot Operations for Foxwoods. “With over 6,600 slot machines on our award-winning property, we’re always looking for ways to differentiate Foxwoods and MGM Grand at Foxwoods from the competition and believe this partnership will help us do just that.”
The new EPICENTRAL Print System – connected
directly to TransAct’s ServerPort device inside the slot machine – is an easy-to-use, cost-efficient software system that will enable Foxwoods to internally develop marketing programs and promotional coupons to be distributed to customers on a real-time basis at a slot machine. Additionally, the system will work with all existing slot systems and games as it is separate and distinct from the slot system itself. With this, Foxwoods will be able to use the EPICENTRAL Print System to connect to any existing slot machine, regardless of the game’s manufacturer or the current
slot system, as long as the slot machine is equipped with a TransAct Epic 950 printer.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Foxwoods, one of the largest and preeminent casinos in the country, in introducing the EPICENTRAL Print System to the public,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. “We believe the EPICENTRAL Print System will be a significant addition to Foxwoods’ marketing program as it will enable the casino to reach out in real-time to its customers with multiple marketing and promotional messages to incentivize additional play time on the slot machines, promote incremental purchases throughout the property or induce additional visits in the future. We look forward to a successful trial run and the possibility of a major expansion of the system at Foxwoods in the near future.”
Through the use of this software system, Foxwoods
will have the ability to provide players with special drawing entries, real-time promotional coupons and marketing messages, restaurant meals, show tickets and hotel rooms, among many other possibilities. Essentially, Foxwoods will be able to utilize the EPICENTRAL Print System to create multiple promotions and incentives to either increase customer time spent on the casino floor or encourage additional visits.

EGT slots grace West Africa’s Casino Oceano G
ames World International opened 2011 by unveiling the new Casino Oceano in January, in Mamba Point Hotel, conveniently located in the Diplomatic Quarter
overlooking the scenic Atlantic Ocean. Casino Oceano boasts gaming floor space of
600m2, using the best materials in interior design, top of the line slot machines and the latest technology and security systems.
In a welcome speech at the casino’s opening,
Games World’s Chairman Tani Hanna said: “We are gathered here today to experience a one-of- a-kind project for West Africa, and certainly the best of its kind in Liberia. Traditionally, doing gaming in this part of the world has been limited to the ambitious non-professionals who, unable to operate such a business in the developed world, take advantage of minimum rules and regulations addressing the gaming industry and hardly any serious competition to reap the rewards of their incompetence in this region.
36 MAY 2011
With exception of few places further north and in the southernmost tip of the African continent, it is evident that Casino operators have invested very little in their venues, technology and human resources, doing no justice to the industry or to the entertainment value that a casino should bring to its clientele. We at Games World International have for the last 10 years decided to take a different approach to this, by bringing in radical changes to our African operations. What we are about to reveal to you today is a venue built on the latest technologies the market has to offer this industry in terms of games and operational procedures, we supersede any competition in the African subcontinent by far, and we are very pleased to be the first in the region to operate under the international standards of conduct for gaming operators. Our first experience in Liberia five years ago was a rather shy one. Considering the past few years of political stability and the economic reform spurred on by the government, we
were encouraged to take an aggressive approach in 2010 to further expand in the country. What you will witness today clearly demonstrates our faith in this country and we are very determined to remain at the forefront of our field.”
Casino Oceano now has 22 widescreen Vega
Vision+ Muklti Series cabinets by EGT, working alongside some of the gaming industry’s finest technology.
