CPI is making fresh inroads into the Italian gaming machine market ahead of the launch of its SCR banknote recycler.

CPI - Erik Van den Berg

Presented at the ENADA Spring show in Rimini last week, the SCR is a two-denomination note recycler based upon MEI’s SC platform. It combines the performance and reliability of SC Advance technology with the benefits of note recycling to offer a comprehensive cash management solution.

Tested in the field in Germany’s AWP market, the SCR has shown to deliver an “extremely low” jam rate, outperforming competing solutions, said Erik Van den Berg, sales director for gaming, EMEA. This means there is less machine downtime for operators and fewer service calls, he said.

The company is already bringing the SCR to the Italian market through its work with three local OEMs.

“We’re already seeing interest growing with this new product,” Van den Berg said. “Its strong value is driving growth.”
