The gaming and entertainment company Genting Group has selected Synectics to provide a turnkey suveillance solution for its new property, Resorts World Casino New York City.
As Genting’s first venture in North America and the first gaming property in the five boroughs of New York City, Resorts World New York is set to open in late summer 2011 at the Aqueduct Racetrack, with a 400,000 square foot casino. At the opening, Resorts World will offer 2,280 video lottery terminals and 205 electronic table games, but will expand to over 5,000 gaming machines by the end of the year.
This initial Resorts World surveillance installation will record over 1,400 channels of 30FPS High-Definition IP video using Synectics’ video management and integration platform, Synergy.
John Medolla, Director of Surveillance for Resorts World New York, said: "Synergy’s flexible and user-friendly interface was the driving force behind Synectics being the system of choice for Resorts World New York. Also a major factor in the decision was Synectics’ ability to create a cost-effective, all HD-IP digital recording solution-the first of its kind in North America."
Supported by Cisco IP infrastructure, the surveillance system installation is expected to be complete by October 2011. Video integration to the casino’s point-of-sale cash register transactions through Synergy will add to the Synectics command and control video management platform.
John Katnic, COO, Synectics USA, added: "This is a monumental opportunity and partnership for Synectics. Installing one of the most advanced digital surveillance systems in the world (all-IP HD video) in the greatest city in the world (New York) for one of world’s most successful gaming and hospitality companies (Genting Group) is a dream come true. Everyone at Synectics, engineering to executives, is excited and looking forward to world class results." Synectics products are also in use in city centres, railways, refineries, banks, and prisons.
