Mohegan Sun Selects FutureLogic’s GEN2 Printer for Cashless Slot Machines and Gaming Platforms
Glendale, CA-June 7, 2005-FutureLogic, Inc., the leading manufacturer of thermal ticket printers for cashless gaming, announced today that Mohegan Sun has selected FutureLogic’s GEN2 printer as the standard gaming printer for all of the casino’s ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO) slot machines and gaming platforms.
A combined total of nearly 6200 gaming machines, including current games as well as new equipment being installed, will integrate the FutureLogic GEN2 printer. Upon regulatory approval, the ProMatrix™ and PromoPort™ functions of the GEN2 printer will be used to implement promotional couponing campaigns through the casino’s player tracking system.
“With more than 6000 slot machines on the casino floor we need a printer that is dependable, secure and easy to maintain,” said Frank Neborsky, Vice President of Slot Operations for Mohegan Sun. “The FutureLogic GEN2 printer will also enable a variety of promotional initiatives.”
Mohegan Sun chose the FutureLogic GEN2 because of its reliability, maintainability and technologically advanced features. These features include ITH™ (Intelligent Ticket Handling) technology to eliminate torn, smeared, or crumpled tickets, 50% more paper capacity than other printers, and a dedicated port for firmware upgrades. The ProMatrix™ couponing system allows casino marketing departments to deliver real time targeted promotions from any GEN2-equipped game.
“We are excited about this opportunity to help streamline operations, improve the gaming experience and deploy new marketing programs at Mohegan Sun, one of the largest gaming complexes in the world,” said Nick Micalizzi, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FutureLogic, Inc. “The Mohegan Sun installation will demonstrate our printers’ exceptional reliability and exercise many of our promotional couponing innovations.”
The GEN2 gaming printer has been extensively field-tested for more than a year. It is the only printer to be recognized by industry experts for innovation and productivity enhancement at both G2E 2003 and most recently at the Gaming Technology Summit, where both the GEN2 and GEN2-VST printers received the top honor, a Platinum Award, in the Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products 2004 awards.
