Global gaming giant International Game Technology PLC has announced a series of installations, including its IGT Advantage casino management system, at the newly opened NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu, the Philippines.
The company said this week that its system will connect NUSTAR’s 1,500 slot machines and 250 table games while positioning the property to offer cashless gaming in the future via IGT’s Resort Wallet systems technology.
IGT also revealed the installation of a number of games on the casino floor, with NUSTAR becoming the first in Asia to boast IGT’s Peak49 cabinet, featuring the Ying Cai Shen link. Other games include “Cash Cove Fish On” and “Lucky Buddha” on the CrystalDual 27 cabinet and “Golden Jungle Grand” and “Coin O’ Mania” on the CrystalCurve cabinet.
“As Cebu’s premier integrated resort, NUSTAR Resort and Casino prioritizes partnerships with experienced and trusted suppliers such as IGT who can help us deliver world-class gaming entertainment and build strong guest relationships through future-forward technologies,” said Sabri Jaafar, NUSTAR Resort and Casino Vice President – EGM Operations.
Dallas Orchard, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Gaming, APAC, added, “By powering its gaming floor with the IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, NUSTAR Resort and Casino is equipped with casino technology that is proven throughout Asia and delivers highly advanced patron loyalty and casino floor optimization tools.
“IGT’s world-class cabinets and regionally popular games such as Cash Cove and Ying Cai Shen will help NUSTAR Resort and Casino achieve its performance goals and differentiate itself through gaming experiences for the region.”
