TransAct Technologies Incorporated announced that it has been selected by Sky River Casino located in Elk Grove, California to provide TransAct’s industry-leading Epic Edge TITO printer in all slot machines within the 100,000 square foot gaming floor. Sky River Casino was developed and built for the Wilton Rancheria Tribe by Boyd Gaming who will operate their 2000 slot machines and 80 table games.

“TransAct is ecstatic to support Sky River Casino’s commitment to giving guests a top-notch gaming experience, and the Epic Edge is the perfect fit to meet their goals,” said Bart Shuldman, CEO of TransAct Technologies.

“Sky River Casino is focused on providing the best customer experience and we selected the Epic Edge for its superior performance and features,” said Chris Gibase, SVP of Boyd Gaming.

TransAct’s Epic Edge best-in-class printer boasts an unsurpassed 300 DPI resolution for maximum ticket appearance, readability, and acceptance by bill validators. The Epic Edge is also fully equipped with USB and serial connections on a single board. The dual interfaces are an operator favorite as just one printer supports the full range of new and legacy games, reducing the need for excess printer inventory.

NYC Agency Aims to Streamline Casino Application Process, But Critics Warn of Potential Community Exclusion

Published

on

 

On Monday, the Department of City Planning introduced a new measure aimed at simplifying the application process for casinos in New York City. However, this move has sparked criticism for potentially sidelining community boards.

This initiative, discreetly submitted last Friday, emerges amidst intense competition among prominent developers for one of the three sought-after casino licenses in the downstate area.

Dan Garodnick, the City Planning Commissioner, described the measure, formally known as a zoning text amendment, as an effort to streamline the alignment of city and state procedures during a meeting on Monday.

Garodnick explained, “Our proposal is designed to level the playing field for these entities as they strive to demonstrate the economic benefits they plan to bring to New York City. Our goal is to establish a process that facilitates an orderly dialogue.”

While the state is responsible for granting casino licenses, Garodnick and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams expressed concerns in October about the city’s current land review processes. They argued that these processes are insufficient for new casinos, placing New York in a less competitive position.

The proposed amendment aims to simplify the review process, allowing state-sanctioned casinos to proceed without zoning conflicts or redundant steps in the state’s extensive licensing procedure, according to Garodnick.

With two of the downstate licenses likely going to existing racinos in Yonkers and South Ozone Park, Queens, the battle for the remaining license in New York City is intense. City Planning has confirmed eight potential locations, including five in Midtown Manhattan, one at Ferry Point in the Bronx, one in Queens proposed by Mets owner Steve Cohen, and another in Brooklyn near Coney Island, in addition to the Queens racino.
