EC Development, Inc. (OTCQB: ECDI) (OTCBB: ECDI) announced today
the release of a new version of its Tahoe Interactive Player System
(TIPS). The system introduces a new generation of casino player
interface tools offering a superior level of interactivity for
players and a number of customizable player tracking and rewards
features for casino operations.
"The new generation TIPS is a significant upgrade to the
original system," said Gene Estep, CEO of EC Development. He
continued, "Not only does it introduce a much expanded and much
more sophisticated interface and real-time communication platform
for player-casino interactivity, we've also been able to design the
new system to be much more affordable for small to medium sized
casinos with a cost significantly less than our leading
competitors."
The enhanced system offers a fully customizable player interface
to create a personalized experience for each casino guest. With the
new TIPS, each player has real-time access to their player rewards,
as well as access to a host of other services including food and
beverage, room charge capability, and "at the game" access to any
casino established wagering accounts if so desired. The system has
also been enhanced to be fully compatible and interfaced with the
latest Android and iPhone mobile applications, further enhancing
the player's casino experience while expanding player tracking
touch points for the casino.
The new generation TIPS provides an entire player tracking
solution for casinos with the ability to easily modify the player
tracking game unit depending on a client's specific needs including
unit shape, graphics, sounds and the amount of interaction
available at the display panel. With its flexible design the new
TIPS is completely scalable to the needs of the casino. It can be
deployed with a minimal set of features, using a card reader alone
for the reward of player points (no interactive screen), all the
way up to a fully scaled customer interaction with screen and data
feeds from the Tahoe progressive and bonusing services, food &
beverage request features, room charge capability and full internet
connectivity.
The new TIPS features the following items and components:
- Tahoe 5" PT Display Unit

today

CMS
- Customizable back-end server -- one server to run all Tahoe CMS
display units
- Capable of integration with a variety of third-party
systems
- Ideal for use in environments where interaction with outside
