Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) has appointed Fred Buro, CEO of Pala Casino Spa Golf & Resort, as a Strategic Advisor.

In a move that promises to reshape the landscape of the guest experience in gaming and hospitality, Fred Buro, a gaming industry thought leader has been appointed as an Advisor to Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI).

“The collaboration between Fred and I promises to lower the cost of customer acquisition and retention by re-engineering guest experience strategies through the introduction of QCI Player, a guest facing simple-to-use technology,” said Andrew Cardno, CTO and Co-Founder of QCI.

“QCI Player is driven by an artificial general intelligence engine – a platform developed by QCI to be used by resort guests. Buro’s role as an Advisor to QCI will involve shaping the vision and functionality of the QCI Player product. It seamlessly integrates casino hosting, marketing, and resort operations by providing guests with real-time stratified self-comping capabilities.

Buro is a prominent figure in the casino gaming industry who is renowned for his transformative management style and marketing expertise.

“I am thrilled to embark upon this journey with Andrew and QCI as an Advisor. QCI Player is a groundbreaking technology that will undoubtedly transform the brick-and-mortar guest experience. This integration of player rewards and advanced AI technology is a game-changer. Witnessing the warm reception to QCI Player by our guests at Pala Casino during its beta test has been extraordinarily promising to say the least. I am excited to help guide its evolution into the future,” Buro said.

“Fred Buro’s extensive industry experience and visionary leadership make him a valuable addition to our team. QCI Player represents a significant leap forward in casino technology, and with Fred’s guidance, we aim to take it to even greater heights. This collaboration marks a milestone in the gaming industry’s future,” Andrew Cardno said.

Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) has launched its Data Community platform in Australia, bringing unified consumer intelligence to the rapidly expanding $13 trillion global Fun Economy. By connecting venues, retailers and destination districts into a single interoperable ecosystem, the platform enables real-time insights, personalised engagement and seamless digital-to-physical experiences.

The Data Community platform enables smarter staffing, stronger tenant collaboration and more personalised engagement, helping operators manage increasingly complex, high-traffic environments. The global “Fun Economy” — spanning leisure, hospitality, retail and entertainment — is valued at over $13 trillion, according to joint research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Zero Labs.

Tony Toohey, Director of TT Management welcomed the platform’s availability in Australia: “The Australian market is increasingly focused on connected, experience-led destinations,” said Toohey.

“Operators here understand the importance of breaking down data silos and collaborating across venues and partners. QCI’s Data Community platform arrives at the right time, enabling a more coordinated and commercially intelligent approach to managing entertainment and hospitality environments.”

Andrew Cardno, Co-Founder and CTO of QCI, said: “Australia represents a sophisticated and forward-looking market for experience-driven destinations,” said Cardno.

“By bringing Data Community to the region, we are equipping operators with the tools to unify their data, understand guest journeys more deeply and curate experiences — not just transactions.”

Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), a leading provider of data-driven casino intelligence and player engagement platforms, announced that Dania Beach Casino is continuing to benefit from its deployment of the QCI Nimble platform. While the property currently focuses on the QCI Host and QCI Marketing modules, it has expressed enthusiasm about the capabilities of the new AGI56 release and its impact on future customer engagement strategies.

Josh Crowder, Director of Marketing at Dania Beach Casino, said: “QCI is the tool that we use to connect to our players, enabled with deep data that has guided us in critical business initiatives. AGI56 shows QCI’s commitment to their core product. They have completely refreshed the technology stack, added deeper tooling for precise marketing initiatives, and Chatalytics.com in AGI56 provides tooling that enables us to build AI-managed data interactions.”

AGI56 represents the most ambitious release in QCI’s history, with the platform undergoing a full refresh of its technology stack, improved integration of advanced analytics, and the introduction of generative AI-driven tooling through Chatalytics.com. This evolution ensures that casinos can not only continue to run data-driven marketing campaigns and player development initiatives but also begin to take advantage of next-generation artificial intelligence to manage complex customer data interactions.

Andrew Cardno, Chief Technology Officer of QCI, said: “We have invested eight figures of R&D into AGI56, transforming it into a platform that not only supports today’s casino marketing and host teams but can also grow across the entire spectrum of customer engagement. Our commitment has been to deliver a technology stack that empowers operators like Dania Beach to achieve precise, data-driven outcomes while building a scalable foundation for the future of AI-enabled player interaction.”

QCI Nimble, the solution deployed by Dania Beach Casino, is designed specifically for properties with under 1000 slot machines. It provides the full capabilities of QCI’s enterprise platform in a form factor that is right-sized for smaller operations. With the release of AGI56, Nimble customers gain access to many of the same advanced tools as larger properties, including refined marketing segmentation, deeper player development capabilities, and AI-powered analytics that bring enterprise-grade insight to local and regional markets.

QCI’s platform is currently deployed in more than 350 casinos worldwide, supporting properties that collectively manage over 42 billion dollars in annual gross gaming revenue. The company’s ongoing investment in product development ensures that every property, regardless of size, can benefit from the same commitment to innovation, operational efficiency, and enhanced guest engagement.
