1. Casinolink Analytics – a powerful business intelligence and data-mining toolkit;
2. Our range of RFID gaming technology – including the world’s first RFID-enabled roulette table capable of tracking player turnover in real-time; and
3. The “Win Proximity Meter” – a unique Mystery Jackpot System developed in conjunction with Acres-Fiore and powered by our Casinolink Jackpot engine

Casinolink Enterprise Edition (CLEE) sees the culmination of much planning on the part of Progressive Gaming in order to maintain its place at the forefront of casino management software design. From a user’s point-of-view, CLEE features a sleek new user interface as well as new functionality including an impressive range of reporting capabilities and specialised marketing tools. Technically this is achieved with CLEE being built utilizing the latest Microsoft platforms including an N-tier client/server model, the Microsoft .NET framework and C# programming language.

Casinolink Analytics is a feature-rich, role based decision making tool that provides fingertip access to the data needed to make accurate daily business decisions. Progressive Gaming has chosen Microsoft’s familiar business intelligence solutions (including its newest addition, Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007) as the basis for Casinolink Analytics. As a result, the information calculated by Casinolink Analytics is presented in an immediately recognisable format that is readily comprehended.

According to Carl Rushton, Progressive Gaming’s Director of Analytics Product Development: “Casino managers of all levels will be able to use Analytics to drill down into the depths of their data stores via our simple and intuitive dashboard-style interface. If everyone is able to better access their important decision making information in a familiar and efficient fashion, they will be able to more effectively achieve their goals and targets. Casinolink Analytics is designed to make this possible”.

 “The debut of our RFID-enabled Roulette table integrated into our Casinolink player tracking and accounting system was another focal point of our stand at ICE”, explained Iain London, Director of International Business Development:  “We demonstrated our ability to track the total turnover of a live Roulette table in real time; as well as track an individual player’s turnover via their RFID-enabled ‘colour chips' for accurate player tracking purposes. While we have been able to do this on games such as blackjack and baccarat for some time, it is only because of our High Frequency 13.56 MHz PJM (or ‘Phase Jitter Modulation’) RFID technology that we are exclusively able to do this for the game of Roulette as well.
