“The operators value the performance of our playing cards in card shufflers”

How are you preparing for G2E? What novelties will you present this year?
For us, G2E is a great shop window to observe developments in the sector. This year we will showcase the latest benefits of our Bee Dealing Shoe, thought to bring more profitability and security to the casino in Baccarat game and a more attractive gaming experience for the customer.

This year, your cards were present at the final table of the main World Series of Poker (WSOP) event. What doors has this event opened during the last three years?
Yes, that’s right. The World Series of Poker brand is strong, one of the most trusted brands in poker, so it has definitely opened for us many doors in the last three years. The 100% Plastic cards from Fournier had already a long reputation before starting to work with WSOP, but taking part of this event, with such an important media impact, has given us a boost. 

How was this last year for Fournier in US? What new challenges do you plan for this market in the short and medium term?
For Fournier and United States Playing Card Company, our sister company, the US market is crucial. Besides, we see that the operators are aware of the fact that cards affect the productivity of the table games significantly, which has helped us consolidate our leading position in the market, managing to provide several new casinos that have been opened in the US during the year. Operators value the performance of our cards in card shufflers, their durability and the fact that they are free of defects and marks. As a reference, in the last 12 months we have managed to obtain customer orders for more than a million dollars. In the short and medium term, we want to continue answering the most heard question by operators. 

How can we operate tables in a more efficient way improving their earnings?
In this sense, our aim is to continue offering solutions that satisfy the casino, players and dealers. We want the casino to have more time of effective game and we want dealers and players to have a great and secure gaming experience, with playing cards that glide through machines, shoes and hands better and longer. These are the things that help increase the profitability of the table games.
