Scientific Games Corporation announced that Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, the Caribbean’s newest and largest casino resort, has selected a host of Scientific Games solutions in systems, games, table products and interactive products, and “provide end-to-end casino and slot-management solutions,” according to the company.
Baha Mar, the $3.5 billion resort in The Bahamas, conducted an extensive competitive bidding process before choosing a broad array of Scientific Games’ Bally, Shuffle Master, WMS and Scientific Games Interactive products for its new 100,000-square-foot Las Vegas-style Baha Mar Casino & Hotel.
“Scientific Games is an important technology partner to our casino resort, helping us accelerate the services for our gaming operations that will enable us to run our business efficiently while delivering an engaging customer experience,” said Paul V. Pusateri, chief operating officer of Baha Mar.
Scientific Games President and Chief Executive Officer Gavin Isaacs said, “Our agreement with Baha Mar Casino & Hotel truly showcases our ability to provide an end-to-end gaming experience across an entire casino resort enterprise. Baha Mar is leveraging a variety of Scientific Games’ transformational solutions across a diverse product lines and brands—gaming machines, table-game products, systems, mobile and online—to deliver a truly unique and highly engaging gaming experience to its patrons.”
Working in partnership with Baha Mar, Scientific Games Interactive is breaking new ground by providing the casino the full SG Universe suite, anchored by Scientific Games’ award-winning mobile concierge app. SG Universe is the first solution of its kind to combine the company’s Play4Fun Network social casino system with on-property, real-money mobile wagering and mobile concierge features into a single integrated and casino-branded mobile application.
“We are tremendously excited that Baha Mar will be the first land-based casino to leverage our robust SG Universe product suite,” said Scientific Games Interactive President Jordan Levin. “Among its many benefits, SG Universe features a trailblazing on-property, real-money mobile casino highlighted by game content from our Bally, Barcrest, Shuffle Master and Williams game studios that entertains players on their mobile devices throughout the resort—at the pool, in their hotel room, at the spa, or having dinner—and rewards them in the same way they get rewarded for playing games on the casino floor.
“SG Universe is designed to drive players to the casino while providing additional ways for patrons to enjoy free-play or real-money, casino-style entertainment through their personal mobile devices.”
In addition, an expansive array of Bally Systems solutions powers Baha Mar’s high-speed, networked casino floor, including ACSC CMS/SMS, Bally Business Intelligence, Elite Bonusing Suite, iVIEW Display Manager (DM), Servizio and Tableview. Every one of the approximately 1,140 slot machines on the casino floor is connected to the iVIEW network to provide patron self-service, marketing messages, and bonusing solutions.
Baha Mar also chose an array of Bally and WMS gaming machines for its elaborate new casino, including the Bally Pro Wave, Pro V27/27, Pro Curve, Pro V32, Pro V22/22, Pro V32 and the WMS Blade, Bluebird xD, Bluebird 2 with Transmissive Reels and Gamefield xD for its new casino floor.
Scientific Games is providing more than 300 Bally and WMS for-sale and premium games, including such game titles as Betty Boop’s World Tour, Iron Man, The Lord of the Rings Return of the Kin™, Michael Jackson Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, Monopoly Boardwalk Seven, Super Monopoly Money, Titanic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Wonder Woman Wild and Wonder Woman Gold, and ZZ Top Live From Texas.
The casino also opened with a Shuffle Master product on each of its 135 card table games, including an array of utility products for automatic card shuffling such as i-Deal, i-Score Plus, i-Shoe Auto, and MD3.
Baha Mar also selected an expansive suite of popular Shuffle Master proprietary table games, including several with progressive offerings—including Blackjack Switch, Caribbean Stud Bonus progressive, Casino War, Fortune Pai Gow Poker progressive, Free Bet Blackjack, Let It Ride progressive, Six Card Bonus, Three Card Poker progressive, and Ultimate Texas Hold ‘em progressive.
