As stated in its product name, this VLT change machine is extremely compact. Fitted with a choice of banknote recyclers, a 15″ LCD display, thermal printer, barcode scanner, up to three additional banknote dispensers and three hoppers for coin payout, this PC-based change machine fulfils all market requirements. The cash-recycler compact is the most preferred GeWeTe change machine for the arcade market. Coins can be entered in bulk, so it is ideal for changing a larger number of coins for banknotes.
The banknote recycler (either the Merkur Dispenser 100 or the JCM iPRO RC-200) ensures that banknotes can not only be validated but also stored for pay-out. In this way, the cash-recycler compact can offer the ideal solution for change from coins to notes, coins to coins, notes to coins and notes to notes. Another example of how GeWeTe is expanding into further markets in Italy is the deposit compact—yet another brand new product to be displayed at the ENADA. This intelligent safe is fitted with two banknote readers allowing bulk note feed of up to 50 notes at one time each. The stackers can hold 2,000 banknotes each, thus a great capacity. The coins can simply be tipped into the machine and the deposit compact does all the rest. All euro coins—from 1 cent to 2 euros can be entered. A time lock provides added security.
The deposit compact is ideal for many retails segments, including shops, yet also for transport service companies and owners of petrol stations. For the ENADA, owners of larger arcades were particularly attracted to this product. A further benefit for users of the deposit compact is that often the money is credited to the bank as soon as the CIT (cash-in-transit) company has accessed the money. Thus, users of the DEPOSIT COMPACT have the peace of mind that their money is 100% secure. Asked why GeWeTe change machine solutions are gaining so strongly in popularity in Italy, Mr. Aristidis Tsikouras, Managing Director of GeWeTe, immediately explains, “Quality, stability and a secure investment. We have been designing and manufacturing change machines for 22 years now. The market knows and trusts GeWeTe. Our ‘made in Germany’ technology is built to last. Furthermore, we have an Italian team here so our customers know they get local support directly in the local language here.”
“That is our philosophy and we will soon be expanding our offices in Great Britain and Spain as well. More and more operators want security for their investment and are turning to GeWeTe. Our new products are also opening up opportunities in new markets as well. Even though this year’s ENADA Rome was quite a small show, we were more than pleased with the results we attained from being here at our own stand”.
