SWITZERLAND – Casino Basel is the latest casino in Switzerland utilising systems solutions from DRGT. The casino management team was looking to strengthen its systems and having conducted extensive market research found DRGT’s reputation for safety, quality and the simple handling of such a complex part of the business, entrusted DRGT with the major project.
The DRGT installation took place on December 1, 2015. “The entire change-over to DRGT was completed in a single day while the casino remained open. The planning was excellent, so that players hardly noticed the work going on around them”, explained Marcel Wenger, Managing Director of Casino Basel. Casino Basel makes use of a wide selection of DRGT systems solutions, including drAccounting, drJackpots, drTicket and drReports.
During the one day installation, the first segment of slots was ready for play at 10am – the casino’s opening time. “The trust in the DRGT is very strong”, noted Stéphane Muller, IT Manager at Casino Basel. “The DRGT team is always there to help – on a 24/7 basis. Our business relationship is extremely good, I see the DRGT staff as friends. The system is very secure. Before we had issues with our system, especially at weekends. Now I can sleep better.”
“I agree with that,” added Marcel Wenger. “It’s fair to say that using DRGT systems adds to the quality of life of a casino manager. We were under permanent stress previously and had no overview of the problems. Also the previous system was server- based, so if there was a problem, then all the slots were affected. DRGT is not server-based so we no longer have to worry about all slots going down. On the contrary, the DRGT is extremely reliable.”
