Park Place Installs Coin-Free Slot Machines - LOS ANGELES, CA - Park Place Entertainment Corp. said on June 19 it will install 15,000 coinless slot machines at its Nevada and Atlantic City casinos, a pioneering move that other major casinos could follow, and a boon for slot machine maker International Game Technology.

The three-year agreement makes Park Place the first major casino operator to install the new coinless slot machines at its properties.

Park Place said it would install the machines -- which give gamblers a paper ticket redeemable for cash or usable in other machines upon cashing out -- at eight of its properties. Those include the company's Caesars and Bally's casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and Paris Las Vegas.

Installation of the systems and gaming machines will begin this year and is scheduled for completion no later than December 31, 2004.

The EZ Pay(TM) system allows operators to utilize IGT's new EZ Play Multi-Denomination(TM) games, so players may select the game denomination -- from one cent up to $25 -- on a single machine. Players can still insert bills or coins to start playing and can change their wager without the bother of collecting and converting coins when they cash out.

New York Plans Two Seneca Casinos - NEW YORK, NY - The state of New York has announced an agreement with the Seneca Indian Nation to open two casinos in Niagara Falls and Buffalo on June 21. Business interests have pressured the New York governor and the state legislature to bring casino gambling to the Niagara Falls-Buffalo area in the wake of a highly successful casino that opened several years ago in Niagara Falls, Ont. "These casinos will provide a major boost to the economy of western New York by allowing us to compete with our Canadian neighbors," says Gov. George Pataki. Before the casinos can open, three steps must be taken: a referendum by members of the Seneca Nation of Indians, state legislation, and federal approval of the sites. Pataki and Seneca President Cyrus Schindler say they are confident the conditions for the new casinos would be met.
