Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort has completed installation of a 7,500-square-foot Unilumin LED sportsbook from supplier McCann Systems.
The LED sportsbook on the casino’s gaming floor includes a bar featuring a four-sided ticker, video walls, odds boards, and live in-play betting odds for numerous sports. A central bar is open 24 hours and surrounded by state-of-the-art panoramic video wall technology.
“In the last couple of months, there’s been a lot of visiting and speculating on options for LED sportsbook builds and expansions,” said Ken Newbury, senior vice president of operations at McCann Systems in an interview with the trade journal Commercial Integrator.
“We’ve been doing some design work to get ahead of the betting technology curve and (Ocean Casino) went green immediately after the Supreme Court announcement. It’s going to be wild how quickly things happen.”
Custom direct-view Unilumin LED video walls engage bettors with great sightlines from anywhere in the book, with three giant media walls displaying all wagering information and game action via Unilumin’s 2.6mm LED, while fine–pitch LEDs flank the four-sided bar and two odds boards give patrons real-time stats to make informed wagers.
More HD displays from Sharp are found throughout the bar as well as the VIP Lounge.
“A powerful, zoned audio system completes the immersive experience with full coverage throughout the space,” Wilson told the publication. “The sound system is optimized with high-end digital signal processing, so each official call can be heard above the casino crowd with crystal clarity.”
Additionally, an intuitive Crestron control system interface enables local and remote control applications of custom layouts, source routing, and audio control of the system, Wilson said.
