Grand Casino Admiral Zagreb in Croatia, which opened last month, chose the SC Advance banknote validator and EASITRAX cashbox system from Crane Payment Innovations.
This is the third casino from Novomatic Croatia to open in the country. “We are well aware of how beneficial it is to use SC Advance and EASITRAX together, so our decision to open with these products was very easily made,” said Dennis Böttcher, technical assistant to the casino’s board of directors.
SC Advance, when coupled with EASITRAX, creates a powerful cash management solution that enables operational efficiencies from the slot floor all the way to the soft count room and back offices.
By gathering data directly from the note acceptor and then generating reports through its intuitive web portal, EASITRAX provides the critical insight needed to streamline the drop process, facilitate asset evaluations, optimise asset performance and improve maintenance programmes.
It utilises RFID technology to automate asset tracking so cashboxes no longer need to be assigned to specific slot machines and each machine no longer needs a second cashbox. As a result, operators can reduce valuable drop time by up to 40 per cent and, accordingly, earn a return on investment in less than one year.
“EASITRAX allows us to control our cash management processes in a way that no other product can,” said Böttcher, “and CPI gave us an excellent demonstration of how it can help maximise the value we receive from SC Advance.”
Anette Jauch, CPI sales director - EMEA gaming, said: “At a global level, it is clear that the management team at Novomatic knows how important it is to choose the right banknote validator. Specifying SC Advance opens the door for players to physically experience the positive difference the SC Advance makes at the slot machine and EASITRAX only adds to the returns operators get from that.”
Grand Casino Admiral Zagreb offers 300 slot machines and 12 live gaming tables over 3,000sq.m. Novomatic Croatia operates a total of 3,500 slots in Croatia in three casinos, 77 arcades and 95 sports betting shops.
