INTELITY to Exhibit at Global Gaming Expo 2023 in Las Vegas
INTELITY, provider of hospitality’s leading guest experience and staff management platform, announced that it will exhibit at the 2023 Global Gaming Expo from October 9–12 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
During G2E 2023, INTELITY will highlight the latest updates to its cloud-based Platform R5, as well as its newly updated API capabilities, both used by dozens of casinos around the world.
Supported by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers, G2E 2023 will highlight the continued evolution of every aspect of the industry — from traditional and online gaming to digital payments and new technologies like AI. G2E is the premier gathering of commercial and tribal gaming professionals globally. The four-day event will feature exhibits, education sessions, and networking events.
“We are committed to elevating G2E in tandem with the industry’s growth. Reflecting our commitment, this year’s show will feature the updated G2E brand, new expo hall activations, and our most in-depth education program yet. For both exhibitors and attendees, G2E 2023 will once again offer an opportunity to do business with key players, discover winning solutions, gain exposure, and connect with a diverse audience,” said Korbi Carrison, G2E’s Event Vice President at RX.
During G2E 2023, INTELITY will showcase the latest updates to its award-winning guest experience platform that streamlines the pre-arrival and check-in process for casino resort guests so they can head straight to gaming upon arrival. Recent updates include expansions to the platform’s mobile check-in process with shared and multi-room digital keys and full ID verification. The platform continues to offer casino resorts the widest range of digital guest experience features including customizable guest-facing branded mobile apps, and marketing and promotion support to draw guests to food and beverage options or to straight into promoted gaming events and activities. The platform also helps casino resorts drive non-room revenue and, with INTELITY’s smart-room tablets, allow guests to digitally order in-room dining, adjust in-room temperature and lighting controls, review casino resort compendiums, and even continue gaming from the comfort of their hotel room.
Additionally, INTELITY will showcase uses and examples of its latest platform APIs supplying casino properties with existing apps with access to the INTELITY platform’s suite of guest experience capabilities brought into their custom-created environments, including casino resort apps, embedded or interactive tablets or displays, and captive portals.
On the operations and staff side of the house, the INTELITY platform includes INTELITY’s GEMS (Guest Experience Management System), a robust back-of-house ticketing and operations solution. Featuring more than 100 certified integrations with industry-leading systems, including PMS, POS, ticketing, in-room controls, spa management, and more, INTELITY provides an extensive suite of solutions for independent and enterprise-level operators.
“G2E serves as an annual showcase for innovation in gaming, and this year’s event promises to be especially impactful as the industry transforms at a record pace. We can’t wait to welcome back the global gaming community to Las Vegas this October to chart the future of gaming,” said AGA Senior Vice President Maureen Beddis.
“For the gaming and casino resort industry, G2E is the must-attend show. As such, we are excited to connect with the industry and showcase the latest updates to the INTELITY platform that not only improve the guest’s in-room experience, but their gaming experience, as well,” said Benjamin Keller, INTELITY SVP of Sales & General Manager of Customer Relations.
