Cyber Threats Become the New Norm for Gaming Industry, Says Caesars' SVP
June 18, 2017 Karri Ekegren
Playtech and Caesars Entertainment EMEA have struck a deal that will see the provider’s IGS subsidiary provide its Neon Enterprise system to eight UK land-based properties including London’s Empire Casino. With this technology, Caesars can now manage all eight casinos easily and efficiently.
Not only will Neon’s advanced player tracking features empower the group with total control, but IGS’ future releases were also and attractive selling point along with the built in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) and Enhanced Due Diligence tools.
Alex Oswald, CFO of Caesars Entertainment EMEA, stated, “From my previous experience of using Neon – specifically Neon Analytics and the data it provides operators – I knew that it would make a significant impact if deployed within Caesars Entertainment properties.
“IGS’ approach to scoping the required system features and integrations – which are numerous within the estate – set them apart during partner evaluations.”
Martin Sykes, Managing Director of IGS, commented, “We’re committed to the expansion of Neon Enterprise across the UK and bringing Caesars Entertainment EMEA on board cements our position as leaders in the market.
“By deploying regular, road-mapped changes to all customers, such as suspicious ticket-in, ticket-out (TITO) activity features in the spring release, we are able to move the whole customer base forward together.
“The specific strategy of focusing on compliance controls in the last 18 months has paid dividends and I look forward to working with Caesars in the coming years ahead.”
