“AGE is always a great show for JCM”

What is JCM showcasing at AGE?
At AGE, we will showcase our iV table game bill validator. Currently in field trials in jurisdictions throughout Australasia, the iV8 table game bill validator was designed for high-volume table markets, such as Macau and Singapore. iV8 dramatically reduces buy-in time and increases security with JCM’s better, smarter, faster note validation technology. We will also show our award-winning poker machine validators, including iVIZION with Sentry 2, iPRO with Sentry, UBA, TBV and the iPRO-RC with advanced note validation and recycling technologies. Also on display will beour award-winning Intelligent Cash Box ICB system and the PayCheck 4 thermal printer, which prints faster, lasts longer and is equipped with more standard memory than any printer in its class. Finally, we will show our line of JCMedia products, including wayfinder kiosks, end-cap displays, as well as NanoLumens large format LED displays. JCMedia empowers operators to bring their brand directly to their customers in incredibly rich and flexible displays with easy-to-manage controllers.

What are iV8’s table game bill validator features?
iV8 was created for high-volume cash table game markets, like Macau and Singapore. Currently operators rely on manually counting and validating currency during buy-ins, and that process can stop play for several minutes at a time. The iV8 processes eight notes per second, dramatically reducing downtime and increasing hand per hour and player enjoyment. With iV8, notes are validated using the very latest in optical and magnetic sensing technologies, giving operators a level of security that is missing in manual buy-ins. Plus, notes are collected in a cash box for faster accounting in the back-of-house.  In other words, at the table and in the cage, iV8 is a better, smarter, faster solution.

What technologies set JCM products apart?
The technologies are numerous, so let’s focus on specific areas of bill validators and printers. Our bill validators are the best in their class. For example, our iVIZION and iPRO bill validators have the most advanced optical and mechanical sensing technologies available.They scan the entire note, not just certain points. And iVIZION has the ability to capture the entire image of a note or ticket, front and back. Our PayCheck 4 thermal printer prints an entire ticket in 0.6 seconds and doesn’t have to rely on “bursting” like other, slower printers do. Additionally, PayCheck 4 comes equipped with more standard memory, and its print head is proven to last twice as long as any other printer in its class.

How is JCM positioned in Australia?
JCM is better positioned today than at any time in the company’s history to help Casinos, Clubs and Hotels evolve their operations with transaction technologies that go beyond simple transactions and, to create connections between the gaming venue and customers. We are the clear market leader in Australasia with one of the highest markets share in the region. Additionally, we are the preferred supplier to Ainsworth, IGT and Konami for Note Validators and preferred printer supplier for Ainsworth and Aristocrat for the Australasian region.

What expectations do you have for this year’s event?
AGE is always a great show for JCM, and we expect this year to be the same. We are excited to meet with current and potential clients.
