By Phil - 8 January 2014
Konami Australia has completed the simultaneous installation of its gaming enterprise management system at two of Echo Entertainment Group’s premier Queensland venues; Jupiters Hotel & Casino and Treasury Casino and Hotel.
Jay Bertsch, Senior Manager of Business Development at Konami Australia, said: “With the installation of Konami’s system at the Jupiters and Treasury casinos in Queensland, Echo Entertainment has enhanced its ability to manage its portfolio of properties and created value for its customers that extends beyond each individual venue. Echo Entertainment also operates The Star in New South Wales and has been a leader in the Australian gaming industry for years. We are excited to extend our partnership in order to help them enhance what are already world-class customer experiences at their Jupiters and Treasury venues.”
The Jupiters Hotel and Casino is located on the Gold Coast in Queensland and has been in operation for over 25 years. The venue is home to seven restaurants, eight bars, nearly 600 rooms including suites, a variety of live entertainment, one of the largest convention centres in Australia, and a state-of-the art gaming floor with more than 1,500 machines and 90 table games.
The Treasury Casino and Hotel is located in the heart of Brisbane and has been in operation for nearly 20 years. This historical venue provides six restaurants, five bars, 128 lavishly appointed rooms, and a three-story gaming experience in one of Australia’s grandest heritage buildings. The Treasury offers more than 1,400 machines and 100 tables.
“Our two Queensland venues have been in business for nearly 50 years combined and we are thrilled to now have Konami’s management system because it provides us with a powerful set of tools to help us bring our customers the best entertainment experience possible,” explained Kel Telford, Chief Information Officer at Echo Entertainment Group. “The installation of Konami’s system has allowed us to provide our customers with a new diverse set of gaming machines enhanced by the offering of TITO functionality. By installing Konami’s system at Jupiters and Treasury, we are able to launch gaming machines across multiple protocols, truly enhancing the experience of the player and providing machines that no one in Queensland has seen before.”
