Genting UK to install Playtech management software for land-based casinos

Chris Dempsey, director of consulting for Intelligent Gaming, said the system provides a "unique solution for connecting Genting UK's operations to a central system with a range of HTML5 and iOS applications". He also noted the flexibility of the system, which has undergone "significant customisation to support and reinforce Genting's processes".

He said: "We are proud and excited to partner with the world's biggest gaming operator on a project that is so important to the modernisation of their business."

Genting UK operate 41 casinos across England and Scotland including VIP private members' clubs, one of which is found in Mayfair and "recognised as the world's oldest private members gaming club", as well as modern, purpose built premises.

The system will be implemented during 2014 in time for the opening of Resorts World, Genting's under construction integrated resort, in Birmingham next year.
