Review G2E VEGAS 2015 Maricela Maciel, GPI’s Executive Director of Global Marketing
GPI SMART RFID IS FAST, SMART AND COST-EFFECTIVE
Gaming Partners International has been asking its customer to get Smart when it comes to RFID, with San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino in California becoming the first to sign up to this new technology
“We’re delighted with the order for Smart RFID from San Manuel who was impressed with the faster, smarter, cheaper technology used with Smart as well as the more compact readers,” described Maricela Maciel, GPI’s Executive Director of Global Marketing, about the latest RFID deal. “When used with GPI’s Chip Inventory System (CIS) software, Smart delivers a complete currency tracking and authentication solution. Opening and closing tables is much quicker. We offer all the necessary components from Smart RFID currency, both antennas and readers, which means we’re in control of every aspect. We developed the Smart range having listened to what the operator wanted. It reads 400 chips per second with the compact reader size easier to install in croded locations.””
GPI was showing its Paulson, Bud Jones and B&G currency product lines at G2E, including 3-in-1 UV and SecuriFilm. 3-in-1 UV is a security taggant that remains invisible under standard UV wavelengths, but revealed with a special device. Because it can be added to plastic injection-moulded chip materials, it is easy to validate chips when placed in stacks or racks. SecuriFilm is used on a chip’s decal and features a semi-transparent hologram-like effect.
“We’re delighted with the order for Smart RFID from San
Manuel who was impressed with the faster, smarter,
cheaper technology used with Smart as well as the more compact readers.”
Ms. Maciel added: “We’re introducing our Paulson Premium chip at this show, which combines our traditional Paulson chip with the same décor materials used in our high-end European-style plaques and jetons. A specially selected and complementary ring of décor is added to the outer chip ring. The result is a unique piece of currency that is both aesthetically pleasing and difficult to counterfeit. It still feels like a Paulson chip, but has the added extras of a plaque.”
“Under our B&G brand, the new V-Series chips have been made using an innovative, exclusive and highly durable injection material formula,” she added. “This
chip was developed for Asian casinos where pit bosses need to differentiate between cash and non-cash chips. With the large amount of handling of casino currency by dealers and players alike, we have also included ChipShield, an anti-fungal that helps keep the gaming chips cleaner for longer for a more sanitary chip surface. Our V-Series chips were designed to offer a whole new range of versatile edge spot patterns that can be created with a choice between two different size decals. For customers who order the V-Series with four or more colour shots, the chips come standard with an infra-red security feature exclusive to GPI. With our Gemaco playing card range, table layouts and chips, plaques and chip cleaning solutions, we’re trying to offer our customers a complete package.”
The exhibition also saw GPI hosting its Hot Poker Spot tournaments. “GPI’s Hot Poker Spot puts a new spin on Texas Hold ‘Em poker with a side bet, allowing players to win even if they didn’t win the pot. It also provides a second revenue stream for casino operators.”
