NCR, NRT announce global agreement in gaming industry
November 15, 2007
DAYTON, Ohio - NCR Corp. has announced it has signed a global reseller agreement with NRT Technology Corp., a provider of hardware and applications for the gaming industry, headquartered in Toronto. The partnership with NRT will provide NRT's worldwide casino and gaming industry customers the opportunity to select NRT's QuickJack and QuickJack Plus systems, now integrated with NCR's Personas 77 ATM platform.
"This is an exciting time for NCR as we take steps to expand our current footprint, while building on the excellence and solid foundation we have in self-service and assisted-service technology innovation that empowers customer interactions," said NCR chairman and CEO Bill Nuti. "NCR already has a strong presence and experience within the gaming industry, from ATMs to hotel self-check-in and other ancillary services, so growing our presence within gaming delivery systems is a natural step."
The NRT QuickJack automated dispensing systems include a secure ATM cash-dispensing unit, a network monitoring system that and provides alerts for proactive servicing and support, as well as a comprehensive back-office system for control and reporting. It allows for the redemption of slot tickets for cash, the redemption of player points, money exchange, cash withdrawal and breakage of bills into smaller denominations.
Following a successful pilot of the combined NCR and NRT technology, the new QuickJacks are live at Greek Town Casino in Detroit. Each unit at Greek Town performs up to 1,000 transactions per day, placing high demands on parts, service and uptime capabilities. These transaction volumes far exceed typical ATM usage, yet NCR's robust technology passed the usability, service and parts availability test.
