BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agilysys, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, including
specifically designed hospitality software solutions, has announced that
Riverwalk Casino Hotel in Vicksburg, Miss. has selected the Lodging Management
System(R) (LMS) by Agilysys to enhance efficiency and streamline operations at
the upscale property, which is scheduled to open this fall.
"We wanted a property management system that addressed both hotel and

services-oriented architectural framework that offers maximum flexibility and
minimal upkeep. Its foundation expands to incorporate modules for activities
scheduling, attraction ticketing, food and beverage, itinerary planning,
online reservations and more, making it one of the hospitality industry's most
powerful and versatile property management systems.
Riverwalk will also use the LMS CASH(R) credit authorization and
settlements handling module to provide instant online credit card approval
combined with express check in; and the LMS Accounts Receivable module to
increase operational efficiency and revenue collection.

in 14 years, will be a distinctive Gulf Coast gaming destination," said Tina
Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality
Solutions Group. "We are proud to provide Riverwalk with our industry-leading
property management system, which will boost efficiency, enhance guest service
