SAN DIEGO, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In a landmark joint development and product launch, Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) and Pala Casino Spa & Golf Resort are thrilled to unveil the Pala PURL, a revolutionary product for the casino industry.

The Pala PURL is not just a cool tool; it's a game-changer. Our players can now reward themselves instantly and seamlessly, which eliminates a variety of hurdles players sometimes needed to overcome to get player-comps and rewards. It has been my passion for years to design, build, and deploy a tool like this. So, it was fortuitous that I met Andrew Cardno, CTO of QCI and his development team, and presented the concept of the PURL to them. This project could never have happened without them. We are currently beta testing, and the product is now live!"
