GCA Renews Fort McDowell Casino Contract

Fort McDowell Casino in Fountain Hills, Ariz., has signed multi-year agreements to extend its use of Global Cash Access (GCA) cash access products and services. Thirteen other gaming establishments have also recently signed agreements with GCA.

GCA, a leading provider of cash access products and related services to the gaming industry, offers ATM technology, cashless gaming products and marketing services that help casino patrons access cash, help gaming establishments better understand their patrons, and enhance gaming establishments' patron marketing activities.

Owned and operated by Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Fort McDowell Casino will use GCA's ATM products, including the Automated Cashier Machine (ACM), an unmanned, cash-dispensing virtual cashier, and Casino Cash Plus(R) 3-in-1 ATM, one of the company's most popular ATMs which offers patrons a quick way to access cash through ATM cash withdrawals, point-of-sale (POS) debit card transactions and credit card cash advances with patented 3-in-1 rollover functionality. QuikCash(TM) cash advance terminals will provide patrons with POS debit card and credit card cash advance transaction options.

Fort McDowell Casino will also take advantage of Central Credit check warranty service and QuikCash Plus(TM) Web, a proprietary browser-based, full service cash access transaction processing system for casino cashier operations. It processes multiple financial transactions through one device, streamlining operations and increasing the speed of transactions.

"GCA's integrated technology across products makes it easy for our cashiers to complete transactions in a timely manner," said Vivian Buchholtz, casino business manager of Fort McDowell Casino. "This gives us the operational efficiencies we need and creates a better customer experience. We're also very excited about the new products that GCA has been discussing with us."

"We are very pleased Fort McDowell Casino has decided to renew its agreement," said Diran Kludjian, executive vice president of North American and international sales for GCA. "We are proud to serve this first-rate Native American casino by offering products that help put cash on the gaming floor, create operational efficiencies and enhance the patron experience."
