After a competitive bidding process, IGT has been selected to provide its integrated games and systems solution at The Cosmopolitan, making the new resort a full "IGT house." The Cosmopolitan is scheduled to open its doors in December 2010.
"When our doors open, we're confident we'll be offering our players the best casino experience possible with IGT's exclusive gaming system," said The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas CEO John Unwin. "Being a new property, we were able to evaluate all manufacturers' products and systems from a fresh perspective. After we saw what IGT has put into motion with their sbX(TM) system, we knew they were the right partner for us. All of IGT's components add up to one thing: performance."
"IGT offers operators more choice than ever in how they operate their casino floors," said IGT President and CEO Patti Hart. "The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is now going to be part of this ongoing momentum of operator flexibility, functionality, value and player choice - all driven by IGT and the open network. We're proud to be driving this gaming revolution, and are honored to work with forward-looking partners such as The Cosmopolitan."
With the agreement comes the full IGT Advantage® suite including Machine Accounting, Patron Management, EZ Pay® ticket-in ticket-out, and a full suite of Advantage Bonusing® including Xtra Credit®, PointPlay®, Carded Lucky Coin, Delivery Games and IGT's new Intelligent Bonusing pending any required regulatory approval. The contract includes a full table management system featuring Cage & Table Accounting and Table iD®. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will also tap into powerful add-on products including Virtual Drawings and the IGT Tournament Manager solution.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas casino floor will feature IGT's GSA compliant server-based network which incorporates the award-winning, player-focused Service Window, sbX(TM) Floor Manager, Media Manager and access to the game library. The floor will also feature IGT's 3D Multi-Layer Display® (MLD®) technology.
The Service Window provides a unique player interaction experience, right at the slot machine. When the player inserts his players club card, a special "window" slides the game screen over, providing a menu of information and services that the player and operator can customize, all designed to improve the player experience. The sbX(TM) Floor Manager means ultimate access to the IGT game library, while the sbX(TM) Media Manager enables targeted messages and services to the Service Window.
