- Caesars Entertainment picks accesso for the world's tallest observation wheel -

- Ticketing and eCommerce for the High Roller -

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to the global attractions and leisure industry, is pleased to announce that it has signed a three year agreement with Caesars Entertainment to provide accesso Passport^® ticketing suite to the Las Vegas High Roller ("High Roller"), the world's tallest observation wheel.

The High Roller, which opened to the public on Monday, is the crown jewel of The LINQ, a $550-million open air shopping, dining and entertainment district located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

Using the accesso Passport ticketing suite allows the High Roller to offer its guests convenient access to advance ticket sales through their desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices as well as support the new attraction's onsite sales with traditional point-of-sale, mobile point-of-sale and self-service kiosks.

The anchor of The LINQ, the High Roller features 28 glass-enclosed cabins that can accommodate up to 40 passengers for stunning views of The Strip. The LINQ and High Roller are located directly across from Caesars Palace, nestled between The Quad Resort & Casino to the north and Flamingo Las Vegas to the south.

Commenting on the news, Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer for accesso said:

"I am delighted to be announcing that Accesso has been selected to deliver our comprehensive ticketing solution for an attraction that will quickly become one of the world's most iconic. Our goal with this deployment is to make sure no matter where a guest of the High Roller wants to buy a ticket - onsite, online or on-the-go - they can purchase where and when they want. This is our first experience of working with Caesars Entertainment, and we look forward to demonstrating the success our solutions bring to operators and the guest experience."

Eric Eberhart, General Manager of The High Roller said:

"The High Roller will quickly become one of the hottest attractions in Las Vegas and the Accesso Passport solution gives us the flexibility we need to offer tickets across the full spectrum of the sales process - at-home, online, mobile devices, and in-market."
