We feel the most innovative service we are offering this year is our new Table Game Lease program. Our lease program allows our casino clients to utilize new table game equipment at low out of pocket costs. Our casino clients are able to make payments on the leased table gaming equipment as they go. Leasing equipment is a huge advantage for new casinos because it gives them the opportunity to make a profit from the get go because they are able to minimize the initial large investment on expensive, high quality table gaming equipment.
