Gaming Partners International Corporation has signed an agreement with the Marina Bay Sands Resort and Casino in Singapore to provide the property with all of its casino chips.

Under this agreement, GPI will provide over two million casino chips to the casino for its opening in late 2009.  The chips, which are from the company’s Bourgogne et Grasset line of casino currency products, will contain many state-of-the-art security features and customised designs.

The Marina Bay Sands, an affiliate of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, is currently under construction at Marina South in central Singapore. The luxury resort complex will feature a Las Vegas-style casino, complete with private gaming lounges. GPI is providing the casino chips for its nearly 1,000 gaming tables.

This order marks the third Las Vegas Sands Corporation property to open in Asia with GPI’s currency products. GPI has previously supplied casinos chips to the Sands Macau and the Venetian Macau.

"Las Vegas Sands has long been a valued customer to GPI and we are delighted to be supplying the casino chips for its newest property in Singapore," stated Gerard Charlier, CEO and president of GPI.  "With the immense popularity of table gaming in south-east Asia, the quality and security of casino currency is of the utmost importance. Our chips offer some of the best security features in the market and we are pleased the Marina Bay Sands will open with GPI products."
