Under the terms of the deal, its subsidiary IGS will replace Caesars’ existing casino technology with its Neon Enterprise system, integrating the companies 178 UK based gaming tables and 427 electronic terminals under one computer system.

The agreement allows Caesars to utilise Neon systems player tracking features and control tools in respect of anti-money laundering, Know Your Customer and enhanced due diligence.

Martin Sykes, Managing Director of IGS added: “We’re committed to the expansion of Neon Enterprise across the UK and bringing Caesars Entertainment EMEA on board cements our position as leaders in the market.”

“The specific strategy of focusing on compliance controls in the last 18 months has paid dividends and I look forward to working with Caesars in the coming years ahead.”
