Global Cash Access, Inc. (“GCA”), the leading
provider of cash access services in casinos, will provide patrons of
the Partouche Group with state-of-the-art access to cash. The
Partouche Group, France’s largest casino operator, operates 50
properties in France and eight others in Belgium, Switzerland and
Spain.
Under the agreement, Partouche Group properties will be able to offer
their customers efficient credit card cash advance transactions – from
GCA’s in-casino QuikCash kiosks, as well as from cashiers. Cashiers
will benefit from GCA’s QuikCash Plus Web browser, which streamlines
and speeds transactions and improves customer service.

(NYSE:GCA). It provides over 1,000 casinos and other gaming properties
around the world with a range of cash access products and services
that help patrons gain more convenient access to cash – and enable
properties to better serve, understand, attract and retain their
customers.
“We’re delighted to be able to help Partouche deliver exceptional
convenience and service to its customers and potentially enhance its
business volume and efficiency,” said Scott Dowty, GCA’s senior vice
president in charge of international business. The agreement
represents an important part of GCA’s international strategy, he
added.
Earlier this year, GCA signed agreements with the following European
