Echo Entertainment The Star

Echo Entertainment plans to roll out more multi-terminal electronic gaming machines and migrate a raft of customer service functions to the internet as new chief executive John Redmond ramps up a sweeping cost-cutting program across the group's casino operations.

Six weeks after taking the helm of Echo, Mr Redmond said his "granular" analysis of the group's operations in Sydney and Queensland had identified a range of cost-saving initiatives that would now be rolled out.
