Gaming News 7 Thursday, April 13, 2017 SLIPGRIPS: THE LEADER IN MANAGED CORPORATE SHOE PROGRAMS Having a corporate shoe program is ben- eficial to increasing the likelihood that employees wear slip-resistant shoes while on the job. This reduces the amount of slips and falls and lost productivity that results from an injury, the cost of insurance premiums and worker's com- pensation claims. As a division of Lehigh Outfitters, SlipGrips is the leader in managed corpo- rate slip-resistant shoe programs because of its many services that can be cus- tomized to fit your specific workplace, employee and safety needs. Always a step ahead, Lehigh Outfitters established an innovative and comprehensive online solution called CustomFit that has revolutionized the industry by removing the limitations of all other safety footwear models. Your staff can quickly and conve- niently order their work shoes through a dedicated website via desktop, tablet or phone and no longer have to stand in line in the rain at a shoe truck with limited selection of styles and sizes. It also offers free on-site kiosks as another unrivaled customized option for quick and easy ordering. With over 18 in-demand slip-resist- ant footwear brands, SlipGrips offers unlimited selection and variety. Choose to offer its entire catalog to your team or a select group of styles that specifically fits your work environment and guaran- tees they wear the proper footwear for the job. The efficient model allows lower overhead, which is reflected in its prod- uct pricing with an average savings of up to 25 percent over traditional retail prices. It offers several payment options, including subsidy, payroll deduction and vouchers and can cus- tomize to your company's specific allotments and restrictions. It also offers partial pay if an employee orders over an allotted amount and has a remaining balance. The Command Center dashboard provides the control of tracking and reporting for more accurate budgeting and planning and reducing program abuse. The invoicing structure allows you to choose to be billed daily or weekly and by specific location, account or purchase order, giving you greater control and management of your footwear budget. With its Pledge $10,000 Guarantee, it stands behind its products and pledges up to $10,000 towards any paid worker's compensation claim by anyone wearing a pair of SlipGrips purchased through a payroll deduction plan or 100 percent subsidized company purchase, following required guidelines. It also offers a 60-Day Comfort Guarantee. If the wearers are not completely satisfied with the comfort of the shoes, they may be returned within 60 days for a full refund, following required guidelines. SlipGrips' mission is to alleviate your burden of managing a safety footwear program with exceptional services, selec- tion and savings. Corporate customers include Majestic Cruise Lines, Sodexo and FedEx, to name a few. Lehigh Outfitters is owned and oper- ated by Rocky Brands, Inc., a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of quality footwear and apparel marketed under a family of top brand names including Rocky ® , Georgia Boot ® , Durango ® and Creative Recreation.

MULTI-TAINMENT OPTIONS KEEP CASINOS COMPETITIVE Consumers have more entertainment options than ever, meaning casinos face competition from online gambling as well as other casinos and entertainment venues. To succeed, your casino resort needs to entice gamers to leave the house and to choose your venue over all the others clamoring for their time and dis- cretionary income. That's why so many casinos are rein- venting themselves as entertainment cen- ters, broadening their appeal to the local community, gamers and families. "The success of a gaming operation is based on two principles," said Adam Saks, Chief Operating Officer at the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak- Chin Circle in Maricopa, Arizona. "First, how often guests come and visit, and second, how long guests will stay. The addition of an entertainment center at a casino resort provides the commu- nity with a place to meet, enjoy, have a meal. By providing additional options and amenities, casinos can keep guests on the property when they want to take a break from gaming. An entertainment center also widens your appeal for those considering visiting the resort with their families." The UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino opened in 2012. UltraStar delivers on its promise of "one-stop, non-stop entertainment" with its Ten Pins Down bowling center, featuring 16 standard lanes and eight VIP lanes; a 12-screen, state-of-the-art cinema; laser tag; restaurant and bar; live entertainment; event spaces; and more. "Adding entertainment to your desti- nation diversifies your investment port- folio and offers your guests options, resulting in additional revenue streams," said Saks. "For casinos, bowling centers are lanes to profitability. Bowling is recession- proof because it's a fam- ily sport that appeals to all age groups and skill sets." UltraStar chose Brunswick Bowling as its partner. "When designing and building a state-of-the-art bowling cen- ter, you want to work with the best," said Saks. "Brunswick is the time-tested, guest-proven solution for quality, service and excellence. For the build, Brunswick provided the turnkey services to our design-build team. When we moved inside the building, Brunswick provided the step-by-step support required through the installation and opening of the center. It was a very smooth process from begin- ning to end." The power of a Brunswick partner- ship is strengthened by the Brunswick Build-to-Bowl program, designed for organizations that don't have experience with planning or constructing a bowling center. It's a single- source solution, pro- viding all the services needed from the earli- est planning stages right through project completion, including help with feasibility studies, site selection and analysis, design, construction and even marketing and operations. Brunswick has established long-term strategic partnerships with the most prominent names in the bowling industry to assist with everything from facility design, financing and construction to amenities such as water parks, laser tag, food service, arcades, billiards and more.

GIGASTONE IPHONE FLASH DRIVES PROTECT IPHONE AND IPAD DATA FROM HACKERS AND DDOS ATTACKS Gigastone, the Leading Global Mobile Technology Accessory Brand, announced its Apple iOS Flash Drives and Micro SD Card Readers, available for purchase at leading big-box stores and online, can be effectively used to secure your personal data from online hackers and DDoS attacks. iPhone and iPad users may be afraid their data is not secure, after the prolifer- ation of hacking attacks in past months. Dyn, a company that routes internet traf- fic, sustained a massive cyber attack which prevented Twitter, Spotify, Netfix, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit and Paypal users from accessing the sites. This is especially alarming for the general public who are storing all their information in the cloud. In the event that cloud storage solutions are rendered inaccessible, data cannot be retrieved. Harold Katz, Gigastone Chief Marketing Officer, commented, "As a result of the limited memory capacity of iPhones and iPads, users are already faced with having to store much of their data offline in the cloud. In a situation where the cloud services are not avail- able, their data is no longer accessible. The best way to prevent this would be to backup and store critical information on external memory." He went on to say, "Gigastone has the largest range of iOS flash drives, giving Apple iPhone and iPad users the means to backup their devices in the event that their cloud based storage is not available." The Gigastone iOS Flash Drive come in a number of configurations to meet the needs of the Apple iPhone and iPad user. The Gigastone iFlashDrive software allows users to: backup iPhone data from your device to the external memory of the Gigastone iPhone flash drives; backup can be done automatically; iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox and Facebook Album data can be moved to the external Gigastone IOs flash drive; the data is secured by touch ID security and/or encryption; all photos, movies and data is accessible from the iPhone or iPad without having to move the data from the external iOS flash drive to an iDevice; and the Gigastone iOS flash drives have both Lightning and USB adapters or removable MicroSD cards, so backed up data can eas- ily be moved to any computer without the need for the iDevice; and data can also be copied from a computer to the iOS flash drive and accessed from an iPhone or iPad. Gigastone President Michel Hassan recapped by commenting, "With our technology, iPhone and iPad users are liberated from cloud-based only storage. They can sleep easily, knowing their data is offline and backed up onto external memory not linked to the internet." Gigastone iOS flash drives are avail- able through all the major big-box stores and online retailers.
