KG (Spielbank BW) group casino properties in Germany. The EPICENTRAL Print System will be connected to 500 slot machines and is projected to go live in various stages in 2013.

The initial installation will be at Casino Konstanz, with EPICENTRAL being extended to Spielbank BW’s other prestige gaming operations at Casino Baden-Baden and Casino Stuttgart.

“We are delighted to announce our first international contract to install the EPICENTRAL Print System at Spielbank BW casinos,” said Bart C. Shuldman, chairman and CEO of TransAct Technologies. “Spielbank BW casino properties pride themselves on their customer service focus and the promotion of responsible gaming. The EPICENTRAL Print System will allow casino management to deliver these objectives to their patrons directly at the slot machine.”

As part of the installation process, Spielbank BW has upgraded all printers in their slot machines to the TransAct Epic 950 printer in order to ensure full usage of the EPICENTRAL Print System. “EPICENTRAL will be a key element in our responsible gaming strategy and gives our management teams the ability to track, manage and communicate with our valued customers across our gaming floors in real time,” said Otto Wulferding, CEO of Spielbank BW Casinos. “We believe that such a flexible, coupon-based print system at the machine will enhance our marketing activities and our support for our visitors and regular clients.”
