GPI to Supply Marina Bay Sands
Gaming Partners International will supply all the casino chips to the new Marina Bay Sands Resort & Casino in Singapore, which is slated to open later this year.
Leading table game equipment supplier Gaming Partners International Corporation announced that it has signed an agreement with the Marina Bay Sands Resort & Casino in Singapore to provide the property with all of its casino chips.
Under the agreement, GPI will provide over 2 million casino chips to the casino for its opening later this year. The chips, which are from the company's Bourgogne & Grasset line of casino currency products, will contain many state-of-the-art security features and customized designs.
The Marina Bay Sands, an affiliate of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, is currently under construction at Marina South in central Singapore. The luxury resort complex will feature a Las Vegas-style casino, complete with private gaming lounges. GPI is providing the casino chips for its nearly 1,000 gaming tables.
The order marks the third Las Vegas Sands Corporation property to open in Asia with GPI’s currency products. GPI has previously supplied casinos chips to the Sands Macao and the Venetian Macao.
“The Las Vegas Sands Corp. has long been a valued customer to GPI and we are delighted to be supplying the casino chips for its newest property in Singapore,” said Gerard Charlier, president and CEO of GPI. “With the immense popularity of table gaming in Southeast Asia, the quality and security of casino currency is of the utmost importance. Our B&G chips offer some of the best security features in the market and we are pleased the Marina Bay Sands will open with GPI products.”
The Singapore contract is the second major regional deal for GPI during the past month. The vendor supplied all of taming plaques for 550 table games at Crown Melco’s City of Dreams casino, which opened early this month.
City of Dreams purchased GPI’s B&G line of plaques fitted with high-frequency RFID microchips, in a variety of styles, shapes and color combinations.
“GPI is very proud to have been a part of the successful opening of this landmark casino,” Charlier said. “The City of Dreams’ acceptance of RFID is a testament to the advantages of this technology and our commitment in providing the best solutions for casino currency security and tracking.”
