Inventory System, which is built around a 13.56 MHz PJM-enabled microchip, or “tag”. Embedded in the game piece the tag works like a DNA marker, making it possible for a system like Perfect Pay’s not only to confirm the identity and location of all the chips played at one of its tables but to monitor their movements from vault to table to cashier. On Abbiati’s Perfect Pay tables each tag is transmitting its unique data in real time to special high-frequency antennae concealed beneath the layout— antennae capable of reading chips at an amazing 800 pieces per second— which combined with special monitoring software provide a completely integrated solution for tracking, accounting and game management. The show also will see the debut of the company’s New Generation Baccarat Table, also designed specifically with the Asian operator in mind and incorporating the best of Abbiati’s quarter-century of experience as an artisan of casino furniture. This is a table designed to complement the VIP room experience with a choice of solid woods—mahogany, oak or cherry wood—with leather, alcantara, skai and carbon fiber trim features known for their aesthetics and resistance to wear, finished with layouts woven from the best wools and micro-fine cloths and incorporating a package of advanced ergonomics and security features. “Table games is a core business, very high end,” says veteran industry marketer Christophe Leparoux, whose Golden Cathay Consulting has helped open some big doors for the company in Asia. But the fact that its products are found inmore than 120 casinos on four continents is the best testimony to the trust operators place in them. It speaks to a commitment to quality that is synonymous with the Abbiati name.
