“With Omnico and GHS, operators have access to a robust suite of tools to enable innovative loyalty marketing programs at all POS touchpoints. Leveraging GHS and Omnico provides the ability to create differential business advantage and measurable financial successes.”

Both companies share the same beliefs and approaches about how guest journeys should be shaped to provide a single, frictionless experience that uses loyalty triggers, entitlements and personalized offers to boost repeat visits and increase revenues.”
The partnership between Omnico and GHS will supercharge the casino sector towards a more unified systems approach with few moving parts and access from any electronic touchpoint in the enterprise.
