LAS VEGAS -- (Press Release) -- Foxwoods Resort Casino, located in Mashantucket, Conn., and 14 other properties recently signed contracts to use the innovative products and services of Global Cash Access (GCA), the leading supplier of cash access and customer relationship marketing technologies to the gaming industry.

Foxwoods has signed a multi-year agreement to use several GCA products and services, including QuikCash Plus (QCP) Web and the award-winning Automated Cashier Machine (ACM\\\(SM)). Opened in 1992 and owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, Foxwoods, , is the largest casino in the world with more than 320,000 square feet of gaming space in a complex that covers 4.7 million square feet.

"We've used QCP Web for the past two years and found that it has definitely improved our cage operations," said Jim Dougherty, Executive Director of Casino Accounting Operations, of Foxwoods Resort Casino.
