Having announced the partnership with Konami as distributor and service centre for Konami in Germany, German casino operators had double reasons to make full use of DRGT’s strong participation at the Slot Summit.
DRGT is an independent systems company that offers extremely flexible, modular solutions. The serverless technology transforms systems technology that was previously seen as being often too complicated with special IT personnel required to manage into a simple-to-use tool. DRGT systems not only have the foundation technology of Systems in Progress but integrate player-centric features such as integrating cashless, player tracking, promotions and marketing details directly on the slot screen. Messages can be adjusted to target the individual player on that particular slot. Thus, player interests are targeted individually – increasing player loyalty.
DRGT systems can be integrated on all slots – regardless of age or manufacturer. That means even popular, old reel-based slots can remain on the floor and make full use of the DRGT systems technology. They can even be updated with an LCD screen that emulates the paytable but then comes into life to inform the player of accounts details and becomes a direct source of communication to the player.
A reference for DRGT powered by SiP technology is at the casinos in the most northern state of Germany – in Schleswig-Holstein. The five casinos there in Schenefeld, Travemünde, Kiel, Flensburg and Sylt all use systems technology from SiP.
Matthias Hein – Managing Director of Spielbank Schleswig-Holstein and furthermore board member of the European Casino Association (ECA) – is so pleased with SiP’s performance that he himself recently wrote to DRGT powered by SiP to say: “After a year of testing in one of our locations, we decided in 2010 to replace our former slot control system and cashless casino card hardware and management tools with products and systems provided by SiP (Systems in Progress) in all other venues as well. We would like to express that we are very satisfied with its performance and reporting capabilities as well as maintenance and support provided”.
Jurgen De Munck, CEO of DRGT powered by SiP, commented, “I would like to express my thanks for the kind words by Hein. As such a well respected person in our industry, naturally his statement carries much weight. We were very pleased with the feedback from the Slot Summit. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lucien Wijsman and his team for proving such an expert conference that is ideally tailored to the needs and interests of the casino industry.”
