The first installation was carried out in February 2006 in Casino Velden located in the Austrian state of Carinthia. After the successful introduction and operation of Chip Cash in Velden, Casinos Austria decided in spring 2007 to roll out the Chip Cash module into all of their operations.
The second installation was completed on June 18th in Casino Wien in Vienna covering 182 slot machines with another 3-4 installations being scheduled to be finalized in 2007.
Atronic Systems Director of Sales and Marketing, Anette Jauch said: “We are especially excited about this recent installation as it is the first ever fully multi-site link designed around the original Chip Cash concept. This means that there is one database in each casino linked to Casinos Austria's headquarters in Vienna which allows players who possess a Chip Cash smart card from one casino to utilise it in the other casino.”
“Once all twelve casinos are fully operational with Chip Cash players will have the added benefit of being able to visit any of the casinos within the Casinos Austria Group and use the same card every time,” Jauch added.
