Gaming Partners International has secured two substantial orders to supply casino chips and RFID technology to two casinos in Macau and the Philippines due to open in the first half of 2009.
The total value of the two orders exceeds $8m with RFID chips accounting for approximately 80 per cent of the total. City of Dreams in Macau, a Melco PBL Entertainment property, scheduled to open in the second quarter with 550 gaming tables, has chosen GPI to provide high-frequency RFID Bourgogne et Grasset plaques.
GPI has also been providing Melco PBL properties Crown Macau and Crown Melbourne with RFID Casino Currency Control solutions since 2007. This new order maintains GPI’s dominance in the Macau casino currency control supply market.
Newport City in Manila, Philippines, a development of Star Cruises, a division of the Genting subsidiary Resorts World, in association with local company Alliance Global Group, will include a casino with 450 tables scheduled to open by the middle of this year.
GPI is to supply low-frequency RFID Bourgogne et Grasset gaming chips, jetons, plaques and readers for Casino Currency Control solutions.
Through its French subsidiary SAS, GPI is a long-time supplier to the Philippines market. The company has been providing chips, jetons and plaques to all Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation casinos for more than 30 years.
