More Sales: New Casino and Commercial Real Estate Security Robot Contracts

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Knightscope, Inc. [Nasdaq: KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), a leading developer of autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communication systems, today announces the addition of two contracts for its K5 Autonomous Security Robot (“ASR”), including a commercial real estate property and yet another casino expansion as part of a larger master agreement announced in September that enabled corporatewide expansion of Knightscope technologies to 43 properties nationwide. A casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and a corporate campus property in North Hollywood, California, will each soon have a K5 ASR patrolling their respective locations.

Entertainment and Gaming Giant Scales Up

One of the best ways to gauge the overall health and performance of a company is by watching its existing clients – especially those that broaden the use of one’s products and services. The benefits of such expansions include shorter sales cycles and higher, more efficient close rates. Today’s announcement brings the total robots under contract for this gaming client to 7, which include deployments in Las Vegas, Nevada; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Aurora, Illinois; Shreveport, LA; Bossier City, LA; and New Orleans, LA.

Knightscope ASRs will protect and engage the millions of individuals who choose to visit these magnets for entertainment each year. The robots greet guests with a friendly voice while providing additional eyes and ears to the human security team, including a two-way communication system to enhance the safety of visitors and workers.

Commercial Developer Brings Larger Opportunity

Knightscope also closed an American commercial real estate services and investment firm that has been a national account target since 2017. The client manages a property occupied by one of the world’s largest multinational telecommunications companies, coincidentally another major account target since 2017, making this a particularly attractive “double win” for Knightscope that opens the door to future US expansions.
