The first RFID readers that resulted from a deal between Progressive Gaming International Corporation (Progressive Gaming), and Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPI) are expected to be available to casino operators imminently.
The two companies have signed a technology agreement for the development and integration of 13.56 MHz PJM (Phase Jitter Modulation) RFID-enabled products and systems, and previewed prototypes of chip tray, chip bank and vault readers at ICE in January.
The agreement enables Progressive Gaming and GPI to use their extensive combined experience with 13.56 MHz PJM High Frequency RFID technology to quickly bring to market additional RFID-enabled readers and gaming software, providing a convenient entry point for casino operators looking to adopt Progressive Gaming's RFID hardware, player tracking and table management systems technology.
Bodo Ischebeck, Vice President RFID and Table Management Systems for Progressive Gaming, explains: "13.56 MHz PJM technology is well on its way to establishing itself as the gaming industry reference for speed, security and integrity and we are very excited about the opportunity."
Will the plans for Russia's 'remote' gaming areas go ahead as the State Duma has described?
