Under this agreement, GPI will provide over 2 million casino chips to the casino for its opening in late 2009. The chips, which are from the Company's Bourgogne & Grasset (B&G) line of casino currency products, will contain many state-of-the-art security features and customized designs.
The Marina Bay Sands, an affiliate of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, is currently under construction at Marina South in central Singapore. The luxury resort complex will feature a Las Vegas-style casino, complete with private gaming lounges. GPI is providing the casino chips for its nearly 1000 gaming tables.
This order marks the third Las Vegas Sands Corporation property to open in Asia with GPI's currency products. GPI has previously supplied casinos chips to the Sands Macau and the Venetian Macau.
"The Las Vegas Sands Corp. has long been a valued customer to GPI and we are delighted to be supplying the casino chips for its newest property in Singapore," stated Gerard Charlier, CEO and President of GPI. "With the immense popularity of table gaming in southeast Asia, the quality and security of casino currency is of the utmost importance. Our B&G chips offer some of the best security features in the market and we are pleased the Marina Bay Sands will open with GPI products."
GPI's line of B&G casino currency products include high-quality chips, plaques and jetons, all available with a variety of security features and customization options. Manufactured in a secure, high-capacity production facility in France, B&G products have been used in casinos all over the world since 1925.
