Janshen-Hahnraths Group

Since the Janshen-Hahnraths Group was founded in the Dutch province of Limburg in 1959, it has established itself as one of The Netherlands’, and even Europe’s, most prominent firms in the gaming machine industry. The Janshen-Hahnraths Group’s core business include the development of gaming machines and software, the operation of gaming and amusement machines throughout The Netherlands, international sales of gaming and amusement machines and the operation of amusement arcades and casinos in The Netherlands and Spain.

Fair Play Centers

Since 1983, the Janshen-Hahnraths Group has been operating amusement centres under the brand name of Fair Play. With over 45 centres in The Netherlands and three establishments in Spain, Fair Play Centers is currently the market leader in its field. Fair Play’s facilities are among the best in The Netherlands, offering a varied and responsible range of games of chance for a broad, adult audience. Each of these establishments is characterised by its own congenial, hospitable atmosphere, while their decor breathes tranquillity and luxury. Quality, style, allure, versatility and excitement are the core aspects of the Fair Play Centers’ concept.

Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

Previously Fair Play Centers had CD based alarm systems installed by a host of installers. Being successful with a rapidly growing number of casinos, they realised their need for a standardised security system. The most important feature of the new security system is to have the ability to remotely open and close, monitor and operate the casinos from a central location. Taking Fair Play’s needs into account, UTCFS introduced their solution for access control, intrusion detection and system connectivity.

UTCFS’s solution

The access control and intrusion detection system is provided through UTCFS’s ATS Master platform, integrating both applications in one single hardware platform. Throughout Fair Play’s facilities, grade 3 intrusion detectors are installed, and alarms are transmitted over a TCP/IP network connection to a central monitoring station. Thanks to the access control system, visitors to the casinos get a badge which enables them to enter the casino, but denies them to access restricted areas. Badge programming is managed from the central station. Fair Play Centers is glad to have found the right security partner that supports them in all of their security needs and challenges while respecting cost efficiency. Today, the UTCFS solution is in place in 45 locations of Fair Play. As Fair Play Centers expands, new locations will be equipped with the UTCFS ATS Master based solution.
