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.
