Dear Banilla Games Customer,
As you might be aware, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced last year that it will be introducing brand new $5, $10, and $20 bills starting in 2020.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the primary technical goals in the redesign of U.S. currency are to:
- Ensure that U.S. currency employs unique and technologically advanced features to deter counterfeiting
- Facilitate the public’s use and authentication
- Provide accessibility and usability
- Maintain public confidence
Obviously, when these new bills are introduced, you will need bill acceptors that will accept them. At Banilla, we are already getting ready.
Our Platinum 1 and 2 dual screen Diamond Skill games have been exceptionally popular with players and operators. In an effort to keep the price of these games as low as possible, without sacrificing quality, we have included reconditioned MEI Cashflow bill acceptors in our dual screen cabinets. These are high quality casino grade bill acceptors and have proven to be a good, low cost solution.
However, MEI has announced that it will not be supporting an update to these used Cashflow bill acceptors to accept the new paper currency. Additionally, Banilla has almost depleted the available supply of these Cashflow bill acceptors.
So, to make sure that our customers are ready for the coming currency change, and to offer the best quality components available, Banilla will soon start offering, as an available upgrade, the brand-new MEI SC Advance bill acceptor on all of our metal cabinets.
According to MEI, these new SC Advance acceptors contain a series of features that contribute to a higher overall acceptance rate for legal notes while increasing security against fraud, such as:
- New recognition system provides a second barcode sensor to improve global ticket acceptance rates and offer 4-way ticket acceptance.
- Full spectral analysis uses multiple wavelengths of light to look all the way through the note and validate its authenticity.
- Advanced recognition algorithms facilitate the industry’s highest acceptance rate-even if the notes have been worn or damaged.
- Faster resolution to disputes with a window revealing the value of the last note stacked in the cashbox.
Most importantly, these SC Advance bill acceptors will support updates to accept the newly designed bills!
So, while we always like low-cost alternatives, we believe that the added cost of these new MEI SC Advance bill acceptors will be easily justified as an investment in security and an investment in the future.
Please consider making this investment now by asking for the new MEI SC Advance bill acceptors in your next cabinet order from Banilla. |
