LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Konami Gaming, Inc. and Xailient Inc. announced a strategic partnership to introduce SYNK Vision™ to the casino industry. This revolutionary collaboration is set to redefine the player tracking and enhance the harm minimization landscape by combining Konami Gaming's award winning SYNKROS™ casino management system with Xailient's advanced AI facial recognition edge device capabilities.

Beyond SYNK Vision's groundbreaking known player facial recognition login convenience features, it also enables casinos to track and bonus players anonymously.

Key highlights of SYNK Vision include:

• Anonymous Player Tracking and Bonusing: SYNK Vision pioneers anonymous player tracking and bonusing, a feature that preserves player privacy while delivering personalized rewards and bonuses. This innovation creates a more inclusive and exciting gaming environment.
• Advanced Harm Minimization Measures: SYNK Vision incorporates state-of-the-art AI algorithms to identify and address potential harmful behaviors on the gaming floor by tracking both known and anonymous players. This proactive approach enhances player safety and well-being by alerting staff to signs of distress and allowing timely interventions.
• AML Tracking with Secure Identity Management: The partnership integrates cutting-edge technology to enable seamless anti-money laundering (AML) tracking of all players and secure identity management. This ensures regulatory compliance and safeguards against fraudulent activities, benefiting both casinos and patrons.
