What makes a perfect casino chair? The experts at Gary Platt Manufacturing
(GP) have been answering this question for more than 40 years. With a history
of innovation in casino seating, GP incorporates performance features such
as ergonomic design into every chair. Through its most comfortable chairs,
GP delivers more “time on device”.
Design
Designers at GP have carefully assessed the seating needs of casino players and operators. Topping the list of needs are comfort, durability and functionality.
First and foremost, a GP chair is a comfortable chair. To be comfortable in extended play situations, a chair must be ergonomically correct to prevent strain on a player’s arms, back and neck. GP chairs are designed to be the optimal height for the type of play they are intended for, whether it’s slots, table games or poker.
Comfortable chairs must also provide the right lumbar (lower back) support to ease fatigue and to extend play time. In addition, casino chairs need soft, yet supportive, seat bottoms. GP chairs are designed to give players a comfortable back rest as well as a tapered seat design for maximum comfort and length of play. In addition, the chair back design allows easy access around other players.
Casino environments and players put seating to the test. From exposure to smoke, food and beverages to players of all sizes keeping seats full 24-7, GP chairs are designed for maximum durability. Attention to every detail from fabric choice to construction adds up to seats that are known to outlast the competition. The custom foam injected seats hold their shape for years, keeping customers comfortable and at play longer. Combining form with function, GP chairs add up to a solid investment for any casino.
Technology
Gary Platt chairs are engineered to the highest standards in technology.
For instance, the X-Tended Play© line includes molded, high-density foam in the backrests and seats. Two years of research led GP to the development of a foam that molds to the specified shape when injected into chair seats and backs. The result is a support system in the chair that withstands considerable use by people of all sizes.
X-Tended Play chairs are covered with a comfortable and exceedingly durable fabric. The GP standard for fabric is 250,000 double rubs, far more than any other chair on the market. This deliberate fabric choice makes these chairs outstanding in even the toughest casino environments.
