International Game Technology has installed the sbX Tier One Package at Barona Resort and Casino in San Diego, California. This is the second in a series of installations that are launching as a prelude to commercial installations anticipated in 2009.
Last month, IGT announced its first sbX Tier One installation at Ameristar Casino in St Charles, Missouri. Now, in partnership with Barona, IGT continues to validate the order and installation process and also gain valuable customer feedback on the industry’s first G2S game management solution.
"We look to this evolution of the server-based gaming solution as another step in our continued testing partnership with IGT," said Chuck Hickey, vice president of slot operations at Barona. "We hope that the operational and regulatory input we have shared with IGT is as valuable to them as the chance to be on the forefront of this long-awaied next phase of the gaming floor of the future has been to us."
As part of the Tier One Package, sbX floor manager is live on 49 machines at Barona, including 29 AVP TrimLine machines, 10 G MLD machines and 10 S MLD machines, featuring IGT’s patented Multi-Layer Display technology on ReelDepth games.
