ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sportech
Racing // Digital, a division of Sportech PLC, (LSE: SPO),
announces that it has successfully launched a suite of new
pari-mutuel betting technologies for its newest customer in
Asia, Macau Jockey Club
("MJC").
Sportech delivered its Quantum™ System – the world's most widely
deployed pari-mutuel betting system – along with new BetJet® Aero™
teller-operated betting terminals and new BetJet® SL 2.5
self-service betting terminals. MJC also received a new
betting website with Sportech's G4 digital framework, the first
implementation of G4 in Asia. Sportech will support the
MJC implementation under a long-term service and maintenance
agreement.
The full suite of new technologies and services from Sportech
will help to transform the way Macau Jockey Club delivers racing
and betting entertainment to their customers. Quantum™ System
offers Macau Jockey Club a significantly expanded list of pools and
bet types, and opens the door to seamless direct commingling with
international betting partners including Hong Kong Jockey
Club. The BetJet® Aero™ makes teller transactions faster and
more accurate and the BetJet® SL 2.5 offers convenient self-service
betting with cash, accounts, and vouchers. The G4 betting
website further extends Macau Jockey Club's offerings to customers
when not at the racetrack.
Thomas Li, Macau Jockey Club
Chief Executive and Executive Director, commented, "Today marks the
beginning of a very meaningful venture and partnership between
Sportech and Macau Jockey Club. With the dynamic Quantum System,
MJC is better positioned with opportunities to reach out to more
racing enthusiasts and customers in the coming years."
With this expansion of Sportech's customer base in Asia – building on new accounts recently
secured in Malaysia and
Vietnam – the company also
announces that it is supplementing its current sales office in
Singapore with a new operations
center to be opened in Q4 2016. Heading up the new Sportech
Operations Center Asia will be Lance
Ku, an experienced operations professional formerly based in
the USA who has been with Sportech
Racing // Digital for 19 years.
Andrew Gaughan, President of
Sportech Racing // Digital, stated: "We are very happy to welcome
the Macau Jockey Club to the Sportech Racing // Digital family of
customers and are very excited to see the further expansion of our
Quantum™ System software and our terminal and digital betting
technologies into the Asian market. We are committed to
investing in the region and the establishment of our new Sportech
Operations Center Asia is evidence of that commitment.
We also look forward to introducing the Macau Jockey Club team
to twenty of Europe's most
prestigious racing and pari-mutuel betting operators next week at
Sportech's European Customer Summit in Bordeaux, France. The MJC will have an
opportunity to discuss how best to leverage their new Quantum™
System commingling capabilities with some of the world's premier
racing and pools betting partners."
