Journal Record, The (Oklahoma City): Cash Systems inks contract with Creek Nation of Oklahoma

Publicly traded automated teller machines company Cash Systems Inc. has reached a contract with the Creek Nation Indian tribe of Oklahoma to provide cash access services to its eight gaming businesses across the state.

Minneapolis-based Cash Systems will provide an array of products, including ATMs, check cashing, debit card withdrawals and credit card advances at points of sale, company representatives said.

The Creek Nation Casino in Tulsa estimated 300,000 people visit the gambling center annually to play the tribe's 1,100 Class-II casino games.

Upon the completion of a $4.6 million expansion and renovation project, the casino will top 80,000 square feet. It will provide a new VIP lounge and high-stakes room, entertainment stage and improved parking.

The increased floor space also allows for about 400 additional gaming machines plus blackjack and poker tables.

Cash Systems Chief Executive Michael Rumbolz said the contract reflects our increasing presence in established markets like Oklahoma, as well as further expansion into new markets such as the card clubs. We look forward to working with the Creek Nation.
