Milliken Carpet Tile Named Top Gaming Product

LaGrange, GA, January 7, 2008—International Gaming & Wagering Business magazine has recognized Milliken modular carpet with cushion backing as one of the top 20 International Gaming Products for 2007.

The Top 20 products were selected by a panel of independent judges on the basis of several sustainable attributes including innovation, efficiency, ease of use, end-user value, adaptation/integration, long-term value and revenue potential.

Casino success is measured by the value of revenue generated per gaming machine daily. Modular carpet reduces disruption because it is not necessary to remove equipment to replace the carpet and the effect on revenue is minimal.

Milliken’s modular tiles address two of the largest carpet problems in casinos: split seams with wrinkles and buckles, which are not only unsightly but pose a tripping hazard, and pattern integrity or matching,

Each Milliken tile is also patterned individually, so there is no issue with pattern match.

New modular installations take less time so revenue streams start sooner. Once in place, repairs can be completed quickly by in-house staff quickly without inconveniencing customers or compromising revenue. Also, since more casinos are using access floors, tile is really the only solution to accommodate the electronics necessary to monitor slot machines and the related cables and access floors.
