Konami Gaming has partnered with Xailient, a developer of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for computer vision applications, to create the collaborative project, Synk Vision.
The project will merge the Synkros casino management system from Konami Gaming with the AI facial recognition software from Xailient.
Tom Soukup, Konami Gaming SVP and Chief Systems Product Officer said: “Konami Gaming is dedicated to shaping the future of the casino industry by delivering innovative and excellence-driven technology to our operator customers through solutions like Synk Vision.
“Through this partnership with Xailient, Synk Vision is another step closer toward proving enhanced operational efficiency and enhancing the guest experience, while prioritising harm minimisation and responsible gaming.”
Synk Vision will allow operators to track players and offer them personalised rewards and bonuses, while players will be able to use slot machines without using player loyalty cards, instead using the facial recognition ‘cardless login’ system.
Joe Mayer, Konami Australia Systems Sales and Operations Manager, said: “We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Synk Vision in the market, where we are poised to embrace the evolving regulatory landscape, ensuring that every player’s excitement in the casino is not just maintained but heightened.
“With Synk Vision, we are redefining the future of gaming in the Asia-Pacific region, strongly emphasising secure identity management to guarantee a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all.”
In addition, Synk Vision will use AI to power algorithms that identify and act on harmful gambling behaviors, for both known and guest players.
Lars Oleson, Xailient CEO, said: “At Xailient, we are passionate about leveraging AI to create impactful solutions.
“Our collaboration with Konami Gaming brings forth Synk Vision, which securely and efficiently improves the customer experience and enhances casino responsibility measures.
“This partnership marks a significant step forward in transforming the industry.”
Finally the solution will have anti-money laundering technology built into the software which will be supported by secure identity management.
This isn’t the only company to have taken an interest in the casino management system from Konami Gaming, as The Queen Casino & Entertainment selected Synkros for The Queen Baton Rouge, the city’s first land-based casino.
