PRESS RELEASE
Peermont Launches Ground-breaking Winners Circle App
Monday, January 25, 2021
Casino and hospitality leader Peermont has launched a ground-breaking app of its Rewards Programme, Winners Circle. The app is the first in South Africa and possibly world-wide to offer wallet and transactional functionality to its casino players. Winners Circle is the Rewards Programme to all Peermont’s resorts, including its flagship property Emperors Palace and the app now allows players direct access to their account from their mobile phone, providing convenience and ease of use.
‘We’re immensely proud of this milestone - service has always been a priority to us,’ says Peermont CEO Nigel Atherton. ‘This pioneering breakthrough will make our players’ lives so much easier without having to queue at an ATM or the Cash Desk. Now all they have to do is log into the app and make a transaction and almost instantly they can enjoy themselves at our casino. Plus, with the reality of social distancing, we feel its our duty to provide an alternative to limit unnecessary person to person interaction.’
Not only is the Peermont Winners Circle app like having a Cashdesk at your fingertips, it also allows users to check their rewards points balance, receive notifications, upload required documents and participate in surveys.
‘The Winners Circle app is game changer for us,’ says Peermont Chief Information Officer Nick Truran. ‘With mobile banking and shopping becoming more prevalent in today’s tech-savvy society why not top adopt the same convenience with your casino account? Our focus continues to be maintaining the highest security standards, so you can rest assured your information and funds are safe with us.’
The Winners Circle app makes use of reCaptcha and SSL encryption, as well as multi-factor authentication all within the React Native Mobile App Development Framework to ensure guests have peace of mind. ‘This project with Peermont Resorts is a great example of the strong partnership that we have shared for many years,’ said Sethuram Shivashankar, Senior VP and General Manager for Gaming Systems at Scientific Games. ‘Their implementation of the Unified Wallet will enable Peermont to provide a frictionless Omni-channel gaming experience to players contributing to increased player loyalty and improving the efficiency at their resorts.’
‘This is just phase one and we’re looking forward to many more innovative additions to this app to ensure our player continue to have exciting times. Watch this space!’ concludes Atherton.
The Winners Circle app is available now on the Apple App Store (https://apple.co/2LY8eKH) and Google Playstore (http://bit.ly/3qsuuvc)

Reviews
First, look down when you walk in: the interior walkways are paved with authentic Smart Stone Huguenot Cobbles, engineered specifically to replicate the tactile feeling of walking on real, ancient Roman highways. It is an incredible piece of immersive design that has stood the test of time since its inception.
Second, as someone sensitive to travel fatigue, the engineering here is spectacular. Despite being right next to major runways, the structural acoustics completely eliminate aviation noise. Furthermore, if you explore the convention wing, the rooms are named chronologically after Roman Emperors (Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius), featuring a highly advanced smart-lighting system that subtly shifts tone to help international travelers fight jet lag.
The multi-tiered security checks at the gates provide immense peace of mind, making it a safe, self-contained empire. From the manicured garden paths to the world-class service, it is a flawless, deeply thought-out destination. Don't just stop by for a quick game—take a moment to appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of the Palace of Dreams!
Hidden Details Most Guests Don't Know The Secret History of the Floors:
When the resort opened in September 2000, it was named Caesars Gauteng. The internal casino paths use custom Huguenot Cobble and Shepstone Pavers designed by SmartStone to precisely mimic the durability and texture of ancient Roman stone highways.
The "Imperial Court" Conference Subtext:
The major conference rooms in the South Wing are purposefully named after successive Roman emperors—Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius, Florian, and Romanus. They feature a hidden central smart-lighting grid that automatically shifts color warmth to match the biological clock of travelers suffering from jet lag.
The Multilayered Security Ring: Casual visitors often miss how tightly the security net is woven. Because of its position right next to O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property utilizes an advanced, continuous perimeter sweep and bag-screening protocol that keeps it significantly safer than standard commercial venues.
The Sound-Insulated Aviation Oasis: Despite being directly in the flight path of Africa's busiest airport, the structural glass and architectural roofing are uniquely engineered to absorb low-frequency jet engine vibrations, meaning you can sit in the gardens or sleep in the hotels in absolute peace
