Scientific Games Awarded Expansive Contract with Quinault Beach Resort and Casino for Systems, Games, Interactive Solutions

LAS VEGAS, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation ("Scientific Games" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: SGMS)  today announced the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores, Washington, has selected Scientific Games' industry-leading systems, games, and interactive solutions for its new casino expansion.

The $25 million Quinault Beach Resort expansion project, scheduled to be complete later this year, will add 70 percent more casino space to accommodate additional slot machines.

Quinault Beach Resort and Casino Chief Executive Officer Don Kajans said, "We went through a rigorous selection process before choosing to partner with Scientific Games, and ultimately it came down to which solutions would help us increase player satisfaction and coin-in. The Scientific Games' integrated systems and interactive portfolio will enable one single view of our player across multiple channels, providing us with powerful, actionable business intelligence that we'll use to create even more engaging experiences for our patrons."

As part of this major upgrade to its resort amenities, Quinault elected to upgrade their legacy Bally casino-management system with Scientific Games' modern and robust SDS™ slot accounting and player-tracking systems – the preferred choice of many of the world's largest casino operators.

To elevate excitement on their larger casino floor, Quinault Beach Resort is adding 100 new Scientific Games slot platforms and games. On the expanded Quinault Beach casino floor, players will experience the ALPHA 2™ Pro Wave^®, ALPHA 2 Pro V27/27, and ALPHA 2 Pro V22/22 slot cabinets, along with engaging game titles including 88 Fortunes^®, Ca$h'm If You Can!^®, Precious Jade^®, Lucky Tree^®, and a number of premium licensed brands.

Quinault Beach Resort selected SG Universe™, a holistic mobile solution with compelling content for land-based casino operators to connect with players everywhere – all with a single view of the player through Core Systems Integration. Through award-winning platforms Mobile Concierge™, VenueBet™, and Play4Fun Network™, SG Universe enables casinos to increase player engagement between casino trips and reach patrons at home, on-the-go, and in the casino.

Scientific Games' President and Chief Executive Officer Gavin Isaacs said, "The fact that Quinault Beach chose our games, systems, and interactive solutions for their casino upgrade reflects confidence in our solutions to deliver tangible business value. SG Universe integrates with our SDS^® system to provide a 360-degree view of the player – which is critical in attracting more revenue growth, increasing overall operational agility, and enabling better customer experiences. We are greatly appreciative of this expanded partnership with Quinault Beach."

In addition to the SDS slot-management solution, the savvy casino operator also chose to take advantage of these Scientific Games system innovations to improve operating efficiencies, customer service, drive revenue, and add excitement across the casino floor:

• iVIEW™ Display Manager ("DM") on-device messaging technology presents self-service player-account access, marketing messages, and secondary bonus games on the main game screen – without interrupting play.
• Elite Bonusing Suite™ ("EBS") enables operators to increase coin-in, carded play, and new player's club signups, while increasing engagement and excitement on the casino floor through 12 different secondary bonusing events.
• TableView is a table-management solution that replaces the manual player rating process with digital automation and integrates with the casino-management system to provide secure and instant access to table ratings and financial accounting data – thus enabling casinos to more efficiently and effectively reward and engage table players.
