G a m i n g N e w s W e d n e s d a y, M a r ch 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 4 INCREASING STAFF EFFICIENCY By Tom Bartelt, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Gaming, Glory Global Solutions North America Cash has always been a primary payment instrument for retailers in the gaming industry and it will continue to be for years to come. Managing this cash is both costly to process and to secure. It can require expensive armored services to move it from point A to point B as well as significant staff resources. Indeed, staff can spend hours counting and bal- ancing cash drawers throughout the day, or reconciling books at the end of a shift. It is therefore no surprise that gaming enterprises are looking to automate these processes with cash handling solutions from companies like Glory Global Solutions. Productivity and staff efficiency are key areas directly affecting operational performance and profitability and are at the center of Glory's gaming cash man- agement solutions. Through the imple- mentation of cash management solutions tailored specifically for the gaming sec- tor, Glory enables customers to efficient- ly manage cash while increasing staff productivity and improving overall busi- ness performance. Our solutions directly address the challenges of staff efficiency by removing manual cash counting and authentication, consequential human error and monoto- nous and repetitive tasks in order to ensure your staff is more productive and able to undertake high-value tasks such as serving customers and achieving core operational goals. Glory's comprehen- sive suite of software connectivity solu- tions further provides important business intelligence to manage cash across gam- ing operating environments.

All across the country, casino developers are dis- covering bowling as a way to increase foot traffic, broaden market appeal and offer more entertainment options to the communities they serve. "Bowling is leading an entertain- ment revolution, as the focal point of one-stop entertainment centers," said Jason Dean, Director of New Business Development at Brunswick Bowling. "Family entertainment centers are an ideal expansion option for casinos, since they encourage guests to stay longer and spend money on games, attractions, food and drinks. Bowling appeals to people from age four to 79, helping casinos attract new clientele." UltraStar Multi-Tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle, in Maricopa, Arizona, boasts the Ten Pins Down bowling center with 16 standard lanes and eight VIP lanes, full food and beverage laneside service, and what UltraStar calls "the audio-visual capabilities of the hippest nightclub." The center offers Cosmic Bowling and other bowling innovations from Brunswick. U l t r a S t a r Multi-Tainment leverages bowl- ing as an asset and an added value to the casi- no. Guests might originally visit to enjoy one of its fine-dining restaurants or take in a movie, and stay to play a round of bowling. UltraStar appreciates that a quality bowling center is a long-term asset with minimal overhead.
