TCSJOHNHUXLEY America working with Casino Concorde, Costa Rica to re-open safely
Casino Concorde is located in the heart of San Jose the capital of Costa Rica, and one of the most well-known casinos in the region. Although casinos in Costa Rica have yet to be given a date to reopen, Casino Concorde has been working on a range of health and safety measures that will provide their visitors with peace of mind when the time comes for them to resume operations.
TCSJOHNHUXLEY has had strong presence in the region for many years and has worked with Casino Concorde during this time. When TCSJOHNHUXLEY introduced its Care & Protect range of products, the casino knew the Chip Sanitiser would be the ideal choice to provide the right level of protection for players and staff.
By using UV-C light technology, up to 100 chips can be sanitised in just minutes, killing harmful germs that lurk on the surface. The Chip Sanitiser features a unique patent pending design that ensures every surface of the chip is cleaned. It also incorporates a safety mechanism, so the machine will not operate unless the unit is completely shut, guaranteeing no harmful UV light can escape.
Mr. Jorge Miranda, Director of Operations for Casino Concorde, comments, “I have known TCSJOHNHUXLEY and the high quality of their service and products for many years, which is why we did not hesitate in choosing this sanitizing product for our chips. With the current situation, it is important that we offer the highest safety standards to our customers and the community, which is why we are working hard to be ready and equipped even beyond the required protocols set by the Ministry of Health.”

INCENTIVE GAMES SECURES ONTARIO GAMING LICENSE

Incentive Games, a leading B2B games provider, is proud to announce that it has been awarded an Ontario Gaming License by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), effective today. This achievement enables the company to offer its portfolio of real-money games to licensed operators and players across the province.
The license underscores the Incentive Games’ commitment to meeting the highest standards of compliance, security, and operational excellence. The rigorous application process demands robust security protocols and comprehensive responsible gaming measures and affirms the company’s readiness to enter one of Canada’s most dynamic iGaming markets.
The North American market is a strategic focus for Incentive Games, and this milestone follows closely on the heels of the company receiving its Provisional Michigan gaming licence from the Michigan Gaming Control Board earlier this month.
Incentive Games will distribute its real-money gaming content in Ontario through Incentive Studios, the company’s dedicated Real-Money Gaming division, ensuring a focused and tailored approach to the market.
“Ontario represents a huge opportunity for us, and securing this license is a proud moment for the whole team,” said John Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at Incentive Games. “It reinforces our dedication to meeting the highest standards while delivering compelling real-money content. We’re looking forward to building strong relationships in the region and continuing our momentum across regulated markets worldwide.”
