Penn National Gaming
‘s new Plainridge Park Casino in Massachusetts will launch Scientific Games Corporation’s comprehensive systems and games solutions, driving for casino revenue and operating efficiencies.
Scientific Games has hit numerous significant milestones with the Penn National Gaming agreement. SG’s Bally, WMS, and Shuffle Master-branded games will account for 44% floor share of new gaming devices.
Under the agreement, SG will also be an exclusive partner for Plainridge’s casino-management, player-tracking and rewards systems.
“We are honored and excited to expand our long-standing and thriving partnership with Penn National by providing Plainridge Park Casino such a broad portfolio of our products representing our popular Bally, WMS, and Shuffle Master product brands across systems and games,” said SG CEO Gavin Isaacs.
Plainridge Park will be the first casino in the country to implement a Bally’s play-management system for responsible gaming— a voluntary option for customers required by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
“Since our merger with Bally Technologies late last year, we have been able to leverage the breadth and diversity of our combined product library to extend value and drive better business outcomes for our customers as a single provider partner – creating trailblazing and entertaining experiences for players and helping operators optimize their investments.”
Plainridge Park is scheduled to open in June 2015.
