G2E 2023—presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX—brought more than 25,000 gaming professionals to Las Vegas last week, showcasing casino gaming’s newest entertainment offerings and exploring new frontiers for the industry.

“Gaming is stronger than ever, and the products and ideas displayed at G2E this week will enhance our industry’s offerings not just here in Las Vegas, but around the world. G2E does more than convene the industry—it unites us. This year’s show truly highlighted the innovation and collaboration that is driving gaming’s current growth and paving the way for our future,” Bill Miller, President and CEO of AGA, said.

The 23rd edition of G2E featured more than 100 education sessions and exhibitors and attendees representing more than 125 countries, territories, and regions with regulated gaming jurisdictions. The 368 exhibitors and participating companies, 128 of which were new, spread across a post-pandemic G2E record 269,000+ square feet of exhibition space.

“G2E continues to be the premier destination for gaming stakeholders worldwide. From our new brand and innovative activations to world-class exhibitors and blockbuster keynotes, we continue to raise the bar on G2E to deliver an experience that drives business and propels the industry forward,” said G2E Event Vice President Korbi Carrison.

During G2E 2023, INTELITY will showcase the latest updates to its award-winning guest experience platform that streamlines the pre-arrival and check-in process for casino resort guests so they can head straight to gaming upon arrival. Recent updates include expansions to the platform’s mobile check-in process with shared and multi-room digital keys and full ID verification. The platform continues to offer casino resorts the widest range of digital guest experience features including customizable guest-facing branded mobile apps, and marketing and promotion support to draw guests to food and beverage options or to straight into promoted gaming events and activities. The platform also helps casino resorts drive non-room revenue and, with INTELITY’s smart-room tablets, allow guests to digitally order in-room dining, adjust in-room temperature and lighting controls, review casino resort compendiums, and even continue gaming from the comfort of their hotel room.

Additionally, INTELITY will showcase uses and examples of its latest platform APIs supplying casino properties with existing apps with access to the INTELITY platform’s suite of guest experience capabilities brought into their custom-created environments, including casino resort apps, embedded or interactive tablets or displays, and captive portals.

On the operations and staff side of the house, the INTELITY platform includes INTELITY’s GEMS (Guest Experience Management System), a robust back-of-house ticketing and operations solution. Featuring more than 100 certified integrations with industry-leading systems, including PMS, POS, ticketing, in-room controls, spa management, and more, INTELITY provides an extensive suite of solutions for independent and enterprise-level operators.

“G2E serves as an annual showcase for innovation in gaming, and this year’s event promises to be especially impactful as the industry transforms at a record pace. We can’t wait to welcome back the global gaming community to Las Vegas this October to chart the future of gaming,” said AGA Senior Vice President Maureen Beddis.

“For the gaming and casino resort industry, G2E is the must-attend show. As such, we are excited to connect with the industry and showcase the latest updates to the INTELITY platform that not only improve the guest’s in-room experience, but their gaming experience, as well,” said Benjamin Keller, INTELITY SVP of Sales & General Manager of Customer Relations.
