Installed hybrid
slot bases and custom signage for the new tribal
casino that opened near Seattle on Nov. 6
AC Coin
& Slot completed installation of all slot bases and custom casino signage
for the 170,000-square-foot Snoqualmie Casino in Washington. The property, which opened
on Nov. 6, features the debut installation of AC Coin & Slot’s custom
hybrid slot bases and state-of-the-art LED lighting technology among its more
than 1,700 slots and high-end décor.
“We
sought a vendor that would match our dedication to quality and our attention to
detail and are extremely pleased with the work AC Coin & Slot has done,”
said Tim Barker, vice president of casino operations for Snoqualmie. “It
was a pleasure to work with them on this project.”
Working
closely with Snoqualmie Casino executives, Las Vegas architectural design firm
Bergman, Walls & Associates, and interior designer Yates-Silverman, AC Coin
& Slot designed and installed over 1700 custom slot bases, ATM & ticket
redemption kiosk enclosures, and more than 20 custom casino signs. The project
was designed to ensure that all tones, finishes, and design elements flowed
seamlessly with the property’s subdued earth tone color scheme. All bases
and signage effectively carried the Snoqualmie tribal theme throughout the
establishment and helped to define and brand the property with references to
specific tribal images.
“We are honored to have played such an integral role in bringing this
distinctive, first-class casino to life,” said Nat Holt, director of casino supply
for AC Coin & Slot. “Our dedicated team continuously strives to
fulfill the unique vision of each property with our custom products. This
level of commitment has created a truly one-of-a-kind experience for Snoqualmie
patrons.”
Advanced
LED backlighting was used in end-panel designs so as to provide extended life
and low power-draw while meeting LEED certifications. LED lighting also
provided a highly-adaptable light source for AC Coin & Slot designers to
create truly distinctive images that accurately reflect the design intentions
of Snoqualmie owners, architects, and interior designers. Game and ticket
redemption signs took into consideration various destinations on the floor and
corresponding traffic patterns to provide visual balance and consistent
branding of the property. Several hand-blown glass signs were also
created by AC Coin & Slot, including a signature blown glass carousel sign
depicting the Snoqualmie Falls.
AC
Coin & Slot’s signature hybrid slot bases carried the “Tribe of the Twelve
Moons” theme throughout the casino and provided ultimate flexibility for
Snoqualmie operators, due to their ability to adapt to changing floor
designs. The hybrid bases could be reconfigured and repositioned to
create single, double, back-to-back and carousel game formations that suit any
slot machine from any manufacturer and easily accept complicated wire
sets. Furthermore, the new hybrid bases, designed and patented by AC Coin
& Slot partner TC Millwork, allowed base installation to occur
simultaneously with base assembly, thus speeding time to opening.
