Bally Technologies recently announced an expanded relationship with Cisco Systems.
"We have worked closely with Cisco on networked casino-floor implementations for some of our largest enterprise customers," said Bruce Rowe, senior vice president of strategy and business development for Bally Technologies.
Rowe added that many Bally Systems customers already use Cisco networks for their mission-critical back-of-the-house network management; moving forward with a Cisco network for the casino floor ensures communications operability across multiple networks and systems.
Cisco’s presence at G2E in Las Vegas this week includes switches designed specifically for the casino floor, providing interactive video content and secure data transactions with zero-touch administration. Also featured on the stand is Cisco switches designed for hospitality rooms.
Bally’s experience working with casinos to implement high-speed networked floors includes, 86 Bally Systems customer sites with networks of over 50,000 machines connected via ethernet.
