A unique situation covering two currencies is now catered for by Crane Payment Innovations in the tiny country of Liechtenstein where the prestigious Casino Schaanwald has chosen CPI’s note validator as its preferred product.
The casino, which opened its doors on October 25 this year, uses SC Advance validators across its entire floor. Casinos Austria International operates the casino and its managing director in Liechtenstein, Thomas Pirron, said: “Our slots will accept both currencies (the euro and the Swiss franc) and they also offer game play and payout in either currency.
“Then when the player vacates their seat, the slot returns to its original setting for the next player to choose between the two currencies.”
The significance of the banknote validator is raised even higher at Casino Schaanwald because it must be able to handle two separate currencies. “We have chosen CPI as our bill reader partner because SC Advance will handle both currencies with a first-time acceptance rate that is second to none,” continued Pirron.
“It’s reliable, fast and, just as importantly, allows us to deliver a seamless playing experience to our guests, many of whom come from Switzerland and Austria to visit us in Liechtenstein.
“Thanks to CPI, most of our players won’t ever have to deal with the hassle of currency exchange before sitting down at a game. That’s not only a big win for them - but also for us. Accepting what our players have in their wallets is critical to earning their loyalty. And, because SC Advance is so secure, we know it’s going to recognise and reject any fraudulent note, regardless of its currency, each and every time. It was the perfect solution for us.”
“Our customers clearly know what a difference having the best banknote validator makes,” said Anette Jauch, CPI sales director for gaming - EMEA. “SC Advance has proven itself time and again to keep players happy and attract more money to the cashbox. We at CPI are so proud that it was chosen as the preferred banknote validator for Casino Schaanwald and that we can support Casino Austria International’s debut expansion into Liechtenstein.”
