Galaxy
Casino Chooses KISS Management System
Galaxy Casino S.A., one of 3
casino concessionaire holders in Macau SAR,
have chosen the KISS casino management system
to manage table gaming, junket & cash desk
operations at their Grand Waldo and Rio properties,
which are slated to open early 2006.
KISS
is a turn-key software solution for casino floors,
developed by Australian casino management and
consultancy firm International Casino Services
Pty. Ltd. (ICS)
"The
KISS system provides all the reporting capabilities
that we require. It is robust, stable and regularly
updated," said Mr Gary Woollard, Galaxy
Casino General Manager.
The
new Grand Waldo integrated leisure and entertainment
facility will be located in Cotai, the area
of reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane
the Macau SAR government has designed as the
epicenter of gaming in Asia. Grand Waldo will
have around 160 gaming tables and 350 slot machines,
while the Rio in downtown Macau will have around
80 tables and 150 slots.
KISS
is currently installed in the company's 63 table
Galaxy Waldo property, one of the 18 casinos
in Macau, which opened in July 2004. "Back
up service and support is excellent, as is the
cost," said Mr Woollard. "KISS encompasses
all of the functionality we need from a table
management system. "Working in real-time,
it eliminates the problems of running multiple
systems and trying to synchronise the data spread
across different databases."
Riding
on the successful operation of their existing
installations, Mr Laurence Hawke, Director of
Systems, ICS said that he was delighted with
the two new orders."These recent orders
from Galaxy Casino S.A. further consolidate
out position as a premier supplier of table
gaming management systems. We look forward to
working closely with management at the Rio and
Grand Waldo casinos in the lead-up to their
openings early next year, and to provide ongoing
support and expertise thereafter," explained
Mr Hawke.
KISS
was developed specifically for gambling operations
such as Galaxy's with a strong focus on chip
movement control, table gaming reporting, non-negotiable
transactions, junket commission reporting, surveillance
and cash desk modules.It controls the movement
of chips from the gaming tables to chip bank
inventories, and provides a secure platform
for calculating table game revenue and reporting
to management, owners and government regulators.
"Casinos
value the product's built-in membership system
for the registration of players, and the marketing
module allowing searches and mail merging. In
particular, it controls, calculates and reports
on junket transactions, such as buy-ins, rolling,
complimentaries, commissions and settlement,"
he said.
The
KISS system has been installed across a number
of jurisdictions throughout the Asia-Pacific
and Australia since first developed in 1991,
including casinos in Macau, Vanuatu, the Solomon
Islands, Tahiti, the Philippines, Canberra,
Christmas Island, Cairns, Darwin, Cambodia,
Russia, Tinian, and numerous cruise ships. ICS
has serviced the casino industry for over 15
years, specializing in Asian land based casinos,
resort casinos, casino ships, online gaming
and regulatory matters. The company manages
all aspects of casino operations, and in particular
has an intimate knowledge of controls and procedures
catering to a large Asian client base
