Slots Director at Regency Casino Thessaloniki, Dimitris Kristallis, has many years of experience in the casino industry and knows very well the critical, enduring role the bill reader plays to slot machine success. "Due to the crisis, customer satisfaction and service quality are very important elements in order to maintain profitability. Due to their high acceptance rates as well as superior technical performance, MEI readers guarantee that customers will enjoy an uninterruptable experience.  I believe that a customer centric approach in our industry should include solutions that help us to deliver value to our clients and, as a consequence, value to the organization. The MEI reader is one of these solutions that every casino should look for, if they share the same view”.

This means that having the Cashflow SC on our floor is a real investment. My staff really enjoys working with this product as it is practically maintenance-free and it frees up time to invest in the players. With so many components to maintain, having the Cashflow SC is a real help to us. They never have to be calibrated. They just keep on working”.
