Eurocoin is one of Europe's leading suppliers of gaming and casino products for the amusement and gaming industry. The company provides a professional sales channel for leading international hardware brands across Europe and Africa, and works in close partnership with customers to supply them with their immediate needs.
Supplying and supporting thousands of high-quality components for use in the construction of new games, the company has an extensive portfolio of the gaming industry’s leading brands and works directly with international OEMs to introduce and integrate these components into their host machines.
European gaming is rapidly changing and gaming machine form, design and function reflect the demands of our new coinless, touch-sensitive, bar-coded and networked leisure pastimes. Many of these new technological changes impact the way people currently pay to play.
Businesses with multi-machine sites are quickly adopting a fully ticket in, ticket out networked system across all their machines; single-machine establishments often prefer the less expensive and simple to install, ‘ticket out’ as a payment solution for their games.
Eurocoin is able to provide its customers, whether they are OEMs or gaming operators, with an entire range of new solutions and with its technical expertise ensure the most appropriate option is selected to suit the requirements of its customers.
"We deal with the entire spectrum of gaming operators from small bars to very large casinos and - of course - their needs vary greatly," said Colin Veitch, a director of Eurocoin. "Small establishments with a video lottery or sports betting terminal are moving towards ticket out as a payment solution.
"The ticket out may be a roll-receipt that can be exchanged at the bar or a much newer development is the option of using a barcode scanner to scan and allow credit back onto the machine. In contrast casinos or multi-machine sites are networking their entire gaming floor and moving towards a fully ticket in, ticket out operation."
All bases covered
It would seem then, that Eurocoin has all available options covered: the Motorola Mini Scan Range for scanning winning tickets and re-crediting machines with winnings; the successful Transact Epic printers with the added advantage of TITO flat-fold or roll ticket variations and also Eurocoin offers a complementary range of slot tickets, vouchers and redemption items.
The Motorola MiniScan range are high performance self-contained barcode scanning devices that allow players to immediately scan their own winning tickets and put credit back onto the machine, stimulating re-play and raising earnings. They are an ideal fit for single machine sites, video lottery operations or sports betting terminals where the owner is looking to move to ticket out as a payment option.
The Motorola MiniScan or flexible Scan Engines are available directly from Eurocoin and are modules that manufacturers can build into their own cabinets, which allows for cost-effective enhancement of existing machines, giving them a real edge over competitors. These scanners enable fast, easy and flexible bar code scanning.
Eurocoin also distributes the TransAct Epic range of gaming and lottery printers, which are proven in the industry. The TransAct Epic printers offer the choice of printing variable-length roll receipts or flat tickets that can be re-inserted into the machine bill acceptor for credit.
"The Epic 430 and Epic 880 printers are ideal for single-machines or small unattended sites," said Veitch. "Both printers deliver a secure, high-speed transaction receipt from a large paper roll, and both are feature-rich and flexible to mount in machine cabinets. Their ability to print and cut the ticket before presenting it to the client eliminates expensive service call-outs caused by player interference."
The Epic 950 Thermal slot machine ticket printer, available with USB or RS232 has a host of advanced technical and operational features, meets and exceeds all the requirements for a full TITO solution and is approved for use in all the major gaming machine manufacturers’ slot machines, including IGT, WMS Gaming, Aristocrat, AGI/Novomatic, Atronic, Bally and many more.
TicketBurst technology ensures the ticket is completely printed and detached before it is presented, which eliminates potential player interference, and the tickets and vouchers can become colourful attention-grabbing marketing tools. Additionally, the Epic 950 can be quickly disconnected and swapped with another printer while the game power is still on, which minimises any downtime on machines.
"The Epic 950 is already the industry’s preferred choice," said Veitch. "It is the default printer of industry giant IGT and has recently been installed as the exclusive printer in all Casinos Poland operations and The Joa Group casinos in France, adding to our many other success stories around the globe."
Eurocoin completes the package by offering one of the widest and most comprehensive ranges of slot tickets and secure thermal roll paper. It distributes Slot-Tickets’ thermal tickets in 200, 400 or 600 book sizes. Slot-Tickets is the original approved source for IGT EZ-Pay slot machine tickets and all gaming machines, OEM ticket printers and OEM bill acceptors worldwide.
