Playtech subsidiary IGS will install its proprietary Neon Enterprise system, giving the casino group complete control across its operation, which consists of eight properties, 178 gaming tables and 427 electronic terminals.

Caesars' decision to change supplier was based on two drivers – to deploy Neon’s advanced player tracking features estate-wide while also making the most of the anti-money laundering, know-your-customer and enhanced due-diligence controls.

Alex Oswald, CFO of Caesars Entertainment EMEA, said: “From my previous experience of using Neon - specifically Neon Analytics and the data it provides operators - I knew that it would make a significant impact if deployed within Caesars Entertainment properties.

“IGS’ approach to scoping the required system features and integrations - which are numerous within the estate - set them apart during partner evaluations.”

Martin Sykes, managing director of IGS, added: “We’re committed to the expansion of Neon Enterprise across the UK and bringing Caesars Entertainment EMEA on board cements our position as leaders in the market.

“By deploying regular, road-mapped changes to all customers, such as suspicious ticket-in, ticket-out activity features in the spring release, we are able to move the whole customer base forward together.”
