Global Cash Access Holdings Inc., a global provider of
innovative cash access solutions and data intelligence for casinos,
today announced that it continues to expand its presence in Canada and
Asia and has entered into several new agreements with international
casino operators for the provision of its cash access products and
Central Credit services.
GCA recently installed its QuikCash Plus (QCP) and QuickCash Kiosk
products at Edgewater Casino, operated by Paragon Casinos in the heart
of Vancouver, British Columbia. This marks GCAâs first location in
Vancouver and the third Paragon Casinos property at which GCA provides
its QCP and QuikCash Kiosks services in Canada. GCA has also signed an
agreement for its QCP and QuickCash Kiosk services with seven properties
operated by Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, Inc., a leading casino
operator in British Columbia.
Additionally, GCA has expanded its business in Alberta, Canada, and has
signed three new agreements that further position GCA as the preeminent
cash access provider to casinos in Alberta. GCA will now be providing
QCP, QuickCash Kiosks and debit and credit card cash access services at
Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Century Resorts Alberta Inc., and Cash
Casino-Red Deer. GCA now provides cash access services for 20 out of the
26 casinos located in Alberta, Canada.
GCA has also further developed its presence in Asia through services
provided by Central Credit, a wholly owned subsidiary of GCA, which is
the industryâs exclusive gaming patron credit bureau, with a database
that consists of decades of credit history and transaction data on
millions of gaming patrons. All major casino operators in Macau are now
using Central Creditâs products. Marina Bay Sands PTE Ltd. in Singapore,
Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, Star Cruises Limited in Hong Kong,
and Emperors Palace Hotel Casino and Convention Center Resort in South
Africa, have all recently signed agreements with Central Credit, which
provides services that assist in simplifying cage operations and
facilitating the credit issuing decision process. The introduction and
adoption of Central Credit in Asia and other international markets
further enhances the value of the service, as the database of millions
of gaming patrons continues to grow with each new account. To date, 33
international casinos in 15 countries subscribe to Central Credit services.
âGCAâs expansion in both Canada and Asia represents very positive steps
forward, as we continue to evolve our products and intelligence to meet
the needs of the industry and our customers,â commented Scott Betts,
president and CEO of GCA. âWe believe that our exclusive focus on the
gaming industry allows us to provide casino operators payments and
customer market solutions that enhance the player experience and enable
seamless integration. We look forward to working with our new gaming
partners and continuing to offer best-in-class solutions to help drive
more business property-wide.â
