Konami Gaming is adding facial recognition technology to its slot and table game products through a partnership with Xailient.
The integration of Xailient’s AI facial recognition device provides a secure identity management solution without the need for magnetic player cards, while also enabling casinos to track and bonus players anonymously.
Available through Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system, SYNK Vision enables players to simply sit down at a slot machine or table game and automatically be identified and logged into player tracking.
SYNK Vision can be used to identify and address potential harmful behaviours on the gaming floor by tracking both known and anonymous players, as well as to provide bonusing.
“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,” said Tom Soukup, senior vice president and chief systems product officer at Konami Gaming.
“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.”
Xailient chief executive Lars Oleson commented: “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.”
SYNK Vision facial recognition technology is initially being rolled out in the Asia-Pacific region.
