IGT sbX in Finland
Slot-maker International Game Technology has sold its first server-based slot system in Scandinavia, to the Grand Casino Helsinki in Finland.
Leading slot manufacturer International Game Technology announced that it has signed its first Scandinavian agreement to install its sbX Experience Management System at Grand Casino Helsinki in Finland.
The sbX solution is a completely networked system to control and manage a slot floor. It will be integrated with Grand Casino Helsinki's existing IGT Casinolink system to allow for additional functionality such as the single entry of a game's settings through the sbX interface and the availability of player messages via IGT's award-winning Service Window interface at the machines.
"As one of the leading casinos in the region, Grand Casino Helsinki is thrilled to become Scandinavia's first to adopt the sbX system," said Heikki Rinta-Panttila, casino general manager for Grand Casino Helsinki. "We firmly believe that sbX will enable us to better serve our customers and that it will enrich the value of our gaming entertainment offerings."
"Grand Casino Helsinki and IGT have enjoyed a successful longstanding relationship, added Ali Civile, sales director for IGT Europe. "The casino currently utilizes our IGT Casinolink management system and EZ Pay ticketing solution as well as a good number of premium products. Its latest addition of IGT's sbX Floor Manager and sbX Analytics modules will soon allow Grand Casino Helsinki to further enhance its slot floor operations by making insightful game offers and the right configuration decisions as often as the management feels is needed to maintain optimal machine performance."
