International Game Technology (IGT) has agreed a deal to provide the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) with a central monitoring system that will be used to analyze electronic gaming devices across the state.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary GTECH Corporation, IGT’s INTELLIGEN will monitor as many as 20,000 devices at more than four venues in Massachusetts.

The Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville will be the first venue to be monitored by the MGC on June 24th using either SAS or the Gaming Standards Association’s Game to System (G2S) protocol.  The system will also provide the regulator with advanced security and financial monitoring functionality.

The $250m facility will feature 1,250 slot machines, as well as video poker video blackjack games among others.
