Re: The surprising secret of a Las Vegas data center: No Glitz (and an IBM i :) )

I interviewed for a job at Bally's in Atlantic City in the late 90s. Their data center looked just like ever other one I had ever been in. From what I remember, they had 10-15 AS/400s. They even had some S/36 code still running.

And on page two:
"Like many other casinos, Sands uses IBM System i servers because many
core systems used in the gaming industry are written in IBM's RPG
programming language. System i runs financials, inventory and
purchasing, among other systems. "

Interesting enough, I got found the story via a link in an MS SQL
Server newsletter :)
