WALLINGFORD, Conn., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide, today announced that Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq: WYNN - News) selected TransAct Technologies to be the sole provider of gaming printers for its Wynn Las Vegas resort, which celebrated its grand opening on April 28.
Wynn Las Vegas extensively reviewed all printer solutions available and found that TransAct offered the most advanced technology in emerging products and the strongest track record of performance on their legacy products.
