Epicentral System Edition Deployed via Existing Aristocrat OASIS 360™
Slot Management System
HAMDEN, Conn. & ISLANDIA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TransAct Technologies Incorporated ("TransAct" or "the Company"), a
global leader in software-driven technology and printing solutions for
high-growth markets, announced today that the first deployment of
Epicentral SE, TransAct's new systems edition of its Epicentral
promotion and bonusing print system, is now live at Jake's 58 Hotel &
Casino in Islandia, New York. Used in conjunction with the Aristocrat
OASIS 360™ slot management system and TransAct Epic 950 printers,
Epicentral SE is powering the delivery of printed offers, including free
play vouchers delivered to players directly at the Long Island casino's
1,000 video lottery terminals ("VLT") which they can redeem while
playing.
Jake's 58 Hotel & Casino is located adjacent to Exit 58 of the Long
Island Expressway and features 1,000 VLTs as well as a 227-room hotel,
off-track betting (OTB) wagering and several food and beverage options.
The hotel is owned by global hospitality company Delaware North, which
also manages the gaming portion of the venue for Suffolk Regional OTB.
Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct
Technologies, commented, "We are excited that Delaware North and the
Jake's 58 team selected Epicentral SE to power new bonusing
opportunities for their players and are delighted to be working with
Aristocrat to extend the capabilities of their powerful OASIS 360
system. In what has become a highly competitive industry environment,
TransAct believes that the real-time delivery of bonuses via a printed
voucher is a differentiated way for operators to drive increased
visitation and play among their patrons. The ability to print playable
vouchers, redeemable at the game, is an unrivaled feature of our
Epicentral SE system, an easy-to-implement add-on to slot management
systems like OASIS 360 that transforms the bonus environment on casino
floors. We look forward to working with Jake's 58 as they fully leverage
the capabilities of Epicentral SE."
Chuck Kilroy, General Manager of Jake's 58, commented, "Since opening in
February 2017, Jake's 58 Hotel & Casino has attracted a dedicated
following of customers from across Long Island. In working to expand our
offers and promotions, we recognized that delivering real-time bonuses
to our customers would be an attractive way to interact with them while
they are playing one of our 1,000 VLTs and electronic table games. We
chose TransAct's Epic 950 printer for our machines in part because it
allowed us to implement Epicentral SE. We are delighted with the results
driven by Epicentral SE to date, and our marketing and gaming teams look
forward to exploring the ways we can expand our bonus and promotion
offerings going forward to further excite our players."
Angelo Palmisano, Vice President of Systems Product of Aristocrat
Technologies, added, "Integrating the capabilities of Epicentral SE into
the proven bonus offerings enabled by OASIS 360 is a no brainer, as
printed coupons are an ideal way to get players' attention and drive
increased slot floor activity. By working in close collaboration with
the team from TransAct, we were able to quickly upgrade the power of
what we can deliver to Jake's 58 through our OASIS 360 slot management
system and further aid our customer in their delivery of an attractive
casino gaming environment, all while tracking player activity and the
effectiveness of their promotions."
Epicentral is the industry's only enterprise-level promotion and
bonusing software suite, providing for the real-time delivery of
targeted promotions to customers directly at slot machines and
electronic table games. TransAct's new systems edition of Epicentral,
Epicentral SE, allows operators to use the existing bonusing
capabilities of their slot management systems to offer bonuses to
players as a printed coupon by leveraging Epicentral's Print Manager and
Design Center modules. These real-time printed bonuses have been proven
to drive increased time on device and, ultimately, increased revenue for
the casino operator.
