We will be presenting the TBV unit, a high capacity validator for the terminal market, more and more important in casinos. We will also present the Vega unit for low-cost machines, but no Douhet the big star will be iVIZION.
Which do you think will be the main challenge of SAGSE this year?
As one of the most important events of the region, I think SAGSE has the great challenge of moderating the technological changes that are regulating the technological changes that are being held in the industry in other parts of the world.
Which will be the main trends to be seen at this exhibition?
The aim and the main trend of the industry is the optimization of resources. Technology has much to do with it. Technological changes are being held at all levels, in machine components, in the machines themselves, in casino Management systems, in the customer loyalty and also in other areas. This technical novelties are changing the way in which we see a machine and how profitability is controlled in a casino. Validators go beyond the bill validación. Ways of payment multiply. The way to attract more customers is diversified. The industry we will see in five years will not be very similar to the one we saw years ago.
Which are the main characteristics of your products for Argentina and South America in general?
JCM has always been well known for bringing the market innova tibe products that seek the optimization of resources of our customers, no matter which is the market niche in which they are.
iVIZION not only brings the capacity to have more speed aceptante, better technology in the ticket recognition, a package of sensors totally sealed to dust and water, much more memory capacity and other functionalities, but also have an amazing Simplicity of design that makes its maintenance easy and cheap.
I agree with technical personnel of JCM: even salesmen may perform iVIZION maintenance. It is also very important to point that it has been a unit thought to have the capacity to add many more functions as well as the market accepts them.

The Latin American market is very important for JCM. It is a market which has to obtain its maximum potential. Some countries are in the stage of developing a legislación that regulates the market. Others are trying of improving that regulation.

We believe it is very positive for JCM and for all the industry.
