The investment in South Africa began with JCM hiring local representatives and signing new distribution agreements with Global Payment Technologies. Now, JCM has re-emerged as a leading manufacturer of reliable and top-performing bank note acceptor technologies.
In the gaming industry, JCM’s award-winning iVIZION has been selected for use in casino and in limited payout machine environments. Peermont Global, Sun International, and Tsogo Sun are all now using JCM’s iVIZION at their properties, as is the country’s largest LPM operator, Vukani Gaming. Installations of iVIZION began October 2014 and marked the first time the award-winning bill validator was in use in South Africa.
JCM is also making tremendous strides in the vending industry, where its Taiko and Vega-RC Twin bill validators are now in wide use. Magex South Africa, a distributor of Pharmaceutical vending machines, will be using the JCM Vega-RC Twin going forward in units produced and sold within South Africa.
Payam Zadeh, JCM EMEA General Manager, said: “We are very pleased with the success our operator partners are having with iVIZION. They are reporting back to us that they are experiencing better acceptance rates with iVIZION than current industry standards.”
