CLEVELAND, OH, April 1, 2009 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, announced today that Aliante Station in North Las Vegas, Station Casinos' newest hotel casino, has selected the Lodging Management System(R) property management solution, InfoGenesis POSTM and the Guest eMarketing solution, all by Agilysys, to streamline operations at the 202-room property, which opened in November.

"Agilysys has been a trusted partner of Station Casinos for many years, so we turned to them when looking for technology solutions for our new property," said Vice President of Hotel Operations for Station Casinos, Michael Grisar. "The Agilysys systems for point-of-sale and property management are proven, scalable and easy to integrate with other hotel and casino applications we are using. We are confident these solutions will help us deliver the high level of guest service that is expected from a Station Casinos property, while maximizing productivity and profitability."

Aliante Station is using the following solutions from Agilysys:

• Lodging Management System(R) (LMS), a comprehensive property management solution that automates every aspect of a hotel's operations - from reservations and credit card processing to accounting and housekeeping. Its foundation expands to incorporate modules for activities scheduling, attraction ticketing, itinerary planning, spa management and more, making it one of the hospitality industry's most powerful and versatile property management systems. Aliante Station is using the LMS accounts receivable module to increase revenue collection and operational efficiency; the LMS CASH(R) module to provide instant online credit card approval combined with express check-in; and the LMS ResNet module to enable online shoppers to check room rates and availability and book reservations directly into the LMS property management system.

• InfoGenesis POSTM, an enterprise-ready point-of-sale solution that combines powerful reporting and configuration capabilities with an easy-to-use touch-screen terminal application. The system's centralized database pulls together food and beverage functions, enabling total management of dining, bar and room service operations. Features include real-time reporting capabilities; advanced sorting, filtering and grouping options; and encryption tools that ensure the security of guest data.

• Guest eMarketing (GeM), a feature-rich guest correspondence and marketing management solution that enables properties to create cost-effective and highly personalized e-mail campaigns. With GeM, hotels can send guests promotional offers, reminders, newsletters and surveys and obtain data that leads to improved performance.

"We have enjoyed a long relationship with Station Casinos and are pleased the company selected us to provide technology solutions for its newest property," said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. "Our industry-leading property management and POS systems will increase efficiency and streamline operations. Aliante Station is also making a strong commitment to guest service with its investment in the Guest eMarketing solution, which will enable the property to capitalize on revenue opportunities, build customer loyalty and gain valuable guest feedback."
