“We’ve worked with Agilysys for many years, and the company has demonstrated proven and reliable solutions as well as industry expertise,” said David Ross, chief operating officer at Coast Casinos, a Boyd Gaming subsidiary. “In particular, we appreciated the fact that they can provide a comprehensive property management solution, with modules that address virtually every area of our hotel operations.
