“Now, operators and OEMs have more convenience and flexibility in finding complete solutions from a single vendor,” said sources of the firm. The combination of the MEI SC Advance bill acceptor and Easitrax Soft Count system represents CPI’s most comprehensive cash management solution for the Gaming industry. SC Advance evolved from MEI’s winning Cashflow SC bill acceptor.
It features enhanced recognition technology, faster bill-to-bill speed, improved barcode recognition and increased capacity to accept up to 100 different currencies and denominations. SC Advance also has the industry’s best first-time acceptance rate for valid street-grade notes, including those that are damp, crinkled and torn.
The entire SC platform has achieved a field base of nearly one million units across the worldwide Gaming industry alone. Equally impressive, nearly 150,000 of those units are coupled EASITRAX Soft Count, the integrated software/hardware cash management system that provides operational efficiencies from the slot floor to the back room.
EasitraxSoft Count works by gathering data from multiple SC note acceptors and funnelling that information into a secure remote database that can be accessed to track revenues and analyze slot performance. RFID technology connects slot machine asset numbers to a specific cashbox to help eliminate “hot boxes” and increase operational efficiencies. Operators typically receive a return on investment in less than one year by reducing 20-30 seconds per cash drop and the improving maintenance practices.
The CashCode SM BackLoad bill acceptor has the fastest bill-to-stack speed in the world at 1.7 seconds and has an installed base of roughly 1.5 million units across 120 countries. It is designed to support door-mounted applications with small footprints such as bingo, roulette and tabletop sports betting terminals. The Up-stacking, Down-stacking and Horizontal models will all be on display.
Finally, CPI will also show the Money Controls Ardac Elite. “The Ardac Elite is the industry’s first and only bill acceptor with field-proven imaging technology that not only uses multiple wavelengths to scan the entire note but also takes a full-color image of it. This feature increases security and makes it possible to resolve disputes quickly and easily, further enhancing the customer experience,” concluded sources of the firm.
