We are very proud to have been selected by Selangor Turf Club for this important investment in their technology and are excited to unleash the power of the Quantum tote solution and BetLine terminals to help drive growth for their operation.”
The adoption will now reach more overseas partners and give the Turf Club access to a global marketplace of international pari-mutuel pool commingling.
Furthermore, Global Tote will install its latest-generation terminals, the BetLine Series, at Selangor Turf Club and its off-track wagering locations, including the BetLine Compact Teller terminal and BetLine SST self-service terminal.
The terminals were created as part of an aim to enhance the user experience for both customers and tellers through advances in terminal hardware and software.
“Selangor Turf Club is pleased to expand our partnership with BetMakers’ Global Tote to upgrade our pari-mutuel wagering technologies,” emphasised Dato’ Michael Fong, CEO of Selangor Turf Club.
