Bingotimes, with its main headquarter in the city of Taichung, in Taiwan, develops many gaming products, from lottery systems and software for online casinos to games and betting machines. But, besides its efforts in the gambling industry, it also works in other sectors such as personal mobile applications and the medical market.
“Our social conscience for CSR (Cooperate Social Responsibility) has urged us in the area of medical systems,” states the company on its website. And now it has manufactured surgical masks on request of gaming giant Las Vegas Sands.
The masks arrived in 500 boxes loaded on the jet in Guangzhou, a city in southeastern China. Once the plane was parked near the hangar on the west side of the Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport, crews in protective gear, masks and gloves unloaded it from the front and back. Green, orange and brown boxes displaying the Bingotimes brand were loaded on pallets, wrapped in plastic inside the hangar and lifted onto trucks in less than an hour.
Masks designated for New York were sent to a state collection center that will distribute them to front-line workers. In Nevada, masks also are being distributed through a state-run entity responsible for the distribution of incoming donations, along with supplies provided directly by the state and federal government.
“This pandemic has called on each of us to use every ability we have to help those most impacted by the crisis,” Adelson said in a statement. “Getting personal protection equipment to our health-care professionals and first responders in Nevada and New York, the epicenter of this crisis, is critical to keeping those brave folks safe, while making sure they can do their jobs to aid our most vulnerable citizens.”
Sands is among several casino companies -such as Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts International- that have stepped up with COVID-19 relief.
