Units Running up to 1,000 Transactions a Day at Detroit's Greek
Town Casino Benefit from NCR's Service and Uptime Capability
DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2007--NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) today announced it has signed a global reseller agreement with NRT Technology Corporation, a leading 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 industry-leading QuickJack and QuickJack Plus systems, now integrated with NCR's Personas(TM) 77 automated teller machine (ATM) platform.
John Dominelli, president and chief operating officer for NRT, said, "It's all about giving our customers choices. We want to give our customers the option of selecting the hardware/software solution that best suits their needs. We were impressed with the NCR hardware, as well as the extensive service capability NCR brings to the table. We are very pleased to be able to offer NRT customers the choice to work with NCR, starting in Greektown and then as we move forward with additional casino customers in North America, Macau, Europe, Australia and South Asia."
NCR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Nuti, said, "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. 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 industry-leading NRT QuickJack automated dispensing systems include a secure ATM cash dispensing unit, a network monitoring system that monitors and provides alerts for proactive servicing and support, as well as a comprehensive BackOffice 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 now live at Greek Town Casino in Detroit, Michigan. 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.
