VNE to display its extensive range of change machines at ICE 2014

“The combination of security, design, component choice and flexibility rightly labels VNE as being ‘one step ahead’ in the global market for change machines. Adding the online and remote support that VNE offers for all of its products makes VNE the number one international choice,” said sources of the firm.

The extensive VNE product range will be on display. This includes change solutions in banknotes to coins, banknotes to banknotes and coins, coins to coins and tickets to banknotes and coins. These solutions cover all gaming market segments – casino, VLT, AWP and amusement.

The Viking change machine is the latest change machine from VNE and has a host of features. The integrated Bill-to-Bill 200 enables up to 200 bank notes (in two denominations, 100 of each) to be recycled. Two heavy-duty hoppers have a capacity of 2,500 each – so a total of 5,000 coins can be stored for change purposes. The Viking change machine weighs 150 kg – over almost three times the standard change machine weight. The double steel protection in the front door and the multitude of heavy-duty locking hooks explain this additional weight. In addition to this, VNE offers the possibility to secure VNE change machines to a wall (using the ‘Blindo’) or the floor (using the ‘Heavy’). The biometrics reads and acknowledges the fingerprint for access purposes.

Furthermore, the Viking is equipped with complete technology for online, real time access – for both commercial (accounting, etc) and technical (monitoring, potential fault search, etc). Operators thus have complete control of the Viking at their fingertips.

The Viking change machine will be joined by a whole host of further change machines – to offer the right product for the right market segment. Whether for bars, arcades, casinos, VLT, AWPs or amusement machines – VNE has the corresponding change machine. The Super Change VLT accepts and dispenses coins and banknotes and handles tickets and cards. The bulk coin acceptance accepts coins at 20 coins per second – ideal for tipping in a pot of coins. Another VLT solution is: The Queen Change accepts and dispenses barcode tickets and can be connected to all VLT platforms. The coin and note capacity are very high – 4,500 coins (3 hoppers) and 3,000 notes (5 note dispensers).

VNE change machines are designed and manufactured in Italy. Its change machines are also a way to communicate with customers – a marketing and advertising tool. The large screen on the front door of the Maxi Changer allows operators to portray messages, adverts – anything they wish and have saved on a USB stick. The loudspeakers with the change machine means that the change machine can also function as a juke box, the video then being shown on the large monitor.

Lorenzo Verona, Commercial Director at VNE, explains the importance of ICE for the company, “We are coming to ICE with a clear message. We are one step ahead of the change machine market. Our stand position reflects our market position – namely number one. We are looking to strongly expand our international presence. We invite operators and indeed companies wishing to work together with us as distributor and/or service partner to come and talk with us. We have plenty of scope for global growth and so offer exciting opportunities. Welcome to the ICE, welcome to VNE”.
