IGT server-based gaming debuts in Pennsylvania
September 20, 2012
The Meadows Racetrack & Casino becomes the first casino to
operate server‐based gaming in the state of Pennsylvania
The Meadows Racetrack and Casino, a Cannery Casino Resorts
property located in Washington, Pa., has installed 40 sbX slots from
International game Technology (IGT), marking the first arrival of server-based
gaming in the state of Pennsylvania.
“As a current IGT Advantage customer, we were looking to expand
our systems capability and yield the benefit of having a server‐based
floor by offering the newest themes before the competition,” said Ryan Paulos
at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino. “It also allows us to determine which
themes will work before we spend the capital for conversion kits to bring those
themes to the main floor.”
This implementation of server‐based gaming means that The
Meadows Casino will have the opportunity to provide new games to their floor at
a faster rate than casinos in the area which are not equipped with the same
functionality.
“The Meadows Racetrack and Casino will benefit greatly
from having a casino floor that is connected to a central server,” said Eric
Tom, IGT executive vice president of global sales. “They are gaining a
competitive advantage by having access to IGT's expansive game theme library,
which will allow them to meet changing player demands, at a rapid pace.”
