Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPI) a leading provider of casino currency and table game equipment worldwide, has announced that it will present the latest developments in its extensive range of table game products at the upcoming Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas on November 16-18. In addition to its popular core products that include gaming tables, casino currency, precision dice, playing cards, table layouts and accessories, GPI’s stand will also feature the latest advances in RFID applications, security technology, table game design, and integrated lighting.

GPI will be showcasing its newest developments in RFID readers and application software for casinos. Capitalizing on its recent agreement with IGT in which GPI acquired the ability to develop, manufacture and distribute additional high-frequency RFID products and systems worldwide; GPI is excited to present its expanded RFID table game offering, which includes a new chip inventory system.

The agreement with IGT enables GPI to converge RFID applications for both 125 KHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies and add improved functionality, security and communications with a range of casino systems. New readers and application software that complement GPI’s existing line of RFID products facilitate improved security of casino currency, increased speed of play at gaming tables and the elimination of error in chip counts and calculations. GPI will demonstrate its RFID technologies at work, highlighting the benefits for chip authenticity verification, tracking and inventorying.

GPI is also presenting RFIDPoker, developed to improve accuracy and increase the speed of various actions on the poker table. Easily fitted on any poker table, GPI’s RFIDPoker works with RFID chips to provide error-free, automatic and constant reading of the poker pot, calculates charges and rakes, and provides essential data and statistics such as game analysis, table performances, round-ups lists, and daily totals.

RFIDPoker also helps to speed up the game and has proven to increase hands per hour by as much as 30%, improving revenues for casinos, and reducing wait times for players both at the game and waiting for a table.

To enhance its RFIDPoker offering, GPI’s new Progressive Poker system features three incrementing jackpots that can be won at any RFIDPoker Texas Hold ‘Em table. The Progressive Poker system can link all poker tables in the casino and draws an extra rake from each pot to feed the progressive jackpots, which are displayed on the main LCD display.

GPI will feature the newest advancements to its eReady gaming tables, which are designed and built especially to accommodate the electronic equipment that is increasingly required on gaming tables. The eReady table design allows for ventilation and cooling of electronic equipment, elimination of signal interference of RFID transmitters and specially-built areas for shufflers and bill validators that are ergonomically placed for dealer convenience and comfort.

To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, GPI will be showcasing its themed chips and layouts on a specially-designed themed baccarat table. GPI’s Themed Products help extend casino marketing efforts all the way to the gaming table utilizing customized chips, layouts and dice. GPI’s themed products are the same high-quality products casinos use every day – just tailored for a specific event or milestone. Whether used to commemorate holidays, promote concerts or sporting events, or celebrate casino anniversaries, players will love the uniqueness of these products and casino marketing will love the impact they make.
