Susan Mitchell, Managing Director of Worldwide Sales, Slot-Tickets Worldwide, Memphis, stated that this new product concept will allow EGMs a method to dispense Pull Tabs or promotional prizes that are thermal printed on-demand. This development opens the door to the industry standard restrictive press production that is normally required for a Pull Tab. This media can easily be refitted into gaming machines adding to the experience and enjoyment of the gaming patron.
The low cost and the fact that over one thousand tabs are on a single roll greatly reduce the cost of dispensing tickets by not requiring any attendant employee involvement. The printed results are completely hidden and are made visible only by removal of an opaque film covering layer.
Jean-Louis Drapeau, Sales VP, Nanoptix, Dieppe, Canada pointed out that the Nanoptix HS Kiosk, a stock roll fed Kiosk workhorse, is ideally suited for fast, quality printing of on-demand Pull Tabs. “Our printer can readily be retrofitted in existing machine cabinets or custom designed games”, he said, and added that he sees many additional applications for the blind printing of tickets and tabs for novel promotional use, AWP, and new gaming concepts worldwide. He stated that Slot-Tickets has opened up an entirely new exciting market place offering for the gaming and amusement innovators.
