The conversion expands Century Gaming’s presence across both Northern Winz properties to 100 electronic gaming terminals
Accel Entertainment has completed a full machine conversion at Northern Winz Casino II in Montana for the Chippewa Cree Tribe.
The Tribe has retired 51 legacy, privately owned electronic gaming terminals and replaced them with 51 machines from Century Gaming, the Montana-based subsidiary of Accel Entertainment.
Century has operated at the Tribe’s adjacent Northern Winz Casino for several years, with 49 gaming machines at this location.
The new conversion marks a significant expansion of the existing tribal gaming partnership and brings Century’s footprint across both Northern Winz properties to 100 electronic gaming terminals.
“Earning the trust of a tribal partner who knows your work firsthand is the highest compliment in this business,” said Accel Entertainment CEO Andy Rubenstein. “The Chippewa Cree Tribe has had a front-row seat to the performance, reliability, and service Century Gaming delivers every day at Northern Winz Casino, and their decision to expand our role to Northern Winz Casino II speaks to the quality of our team and our platform.
“We’re proud to deepen this partnership and committed to providing their players with a modern and reliable gaming experience.”
Calvin Jilot, Tribal business committee member and acting general manager of the Chippewa Cree Tribe, added: “Working with Century Gaming at Northern Winz Casino gave us a clear picture of what their equipment and service could do. When we decided it was time to upgrade Northern Winz Casino II, there was no question who we wanted as our partner.
“Century’s systems and their team’s commitment to delivering a better player experience made this an easy decision.”
The Chippewa Cree Tribe operates Class II and Class III gaming, with its Class III gaming conducted under a compact with the state of Montana.
Northern Winz Casino II operates exclusively as a Class III facility.
