By Lewis - 26 June 2015
Scientific Games has installed its Operator Wide Area Progressive Systems in all properties operated by UK-based Double Diamond Gaming Ltd Trading as Rainbow Casino. The installation enables greater action and increased profitability for the properties.
Since the acquisition of the former Gala Casinos in 2013, Rainbow Casino has significantly grown its business. Re-branding is now complete at one of the operator’s most popular venues, the Rainbow Casino Birmingham. Rainbow Casino is a long-standing, thriving business partner deploying a broad array of Shuffle Master branded utility products for automatic card shuffling and chip sorting such as one2six, DeckMate and ChipStar. Above all, players will love to play the popular proprietary table game side bet Blackjack Blazing 7`s Progressive in all Rainbow casinos. The Company’s exciting Operator Wide Area Progressive System brings the life-changing progressive jackpot experience of the slot floor to the table games pit. With more than a dozen options, it gives operators the chance to thrill their players and offer them an unforgettable entertainment experience.
Duncan Savage, Managing Director, Double Diamond Gaming Ltd., said, “Scientific Games is a vitally important technology partner to our casinos, helping us to run our business efficiently while delivering an engaging customer experience. We chose the Company’s Operator Wide Area Progressive System as we fiercely believe that the progressive jackpot will drive our business outcome tremendously and will elevate the live game pit to an unprecedented excitement level.”
In 2013, Rainbow Casino was the first Group in the UK to select Scientific Games as a provider of chip sorting machines. Today, ChipStar is increasingly becoming the product of choice by casino operators when it comes to chip sorting. This is owed to its outstanding sorting speed, doubtless Communauté Européenne conformity and virtually maintenance-free cutting edge technology. Rainbow Casino is currently operating 26 ChipStar machines. Most importantly, ChipStar now allows operators to sort chips of up to 43mm on all channels without any loss in productivity.
Georg Fekete, Senior Director Product Management for Scientific Games, said, “The agreement with Rainbow Casino shows their strong confidence in our ability to provide state-of-the-art technology. Our Operator Wide Area Progressive System is the first solution of its kind to connect players across multiple properties, designed to boost player excitement beyond limits.”
