Game World Group, one of the leading operators of entertainment centres and electronic casinos in eastern and central Europe, has chosen Money Controls' Ardac Elite as its preferred bill and ticket acceptor.
Game World now has more than 2,500 machines in over 30 venues in Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Moldova and Croatia. In the last two years it has expanded its operations in Romania. Already having a large entertainment centre in the Bucharest Mall and the City Casino in Bucharest city centre, it has opened five more complexes across the city under the Game World and City Casino brands, giving it a total of over 600 machines.
The company’s reputation has been built on providing top-quality venues, top-quality customer service and top-quality machines. It operates a policy of continual upgrading of its estate to ensure its standards are maintained and, where possible, raised. The company was particularly keen to improve the performance of its bill acceptors, and recently trialled the Ardac Elite in several of its machines in its Game City casinos, which were monitored closely and compared with other slots.
Commenting on the results of the trial, Jozsef Helmes, Game World’s director of operations in Romania, said: "Romanian bills are made of polymer, not paper, and can pose problems for acceptors. They’re also of various sizes and have unusual features, such as transparent windows. So I was really pleased, and surprised, at the performance of the Ardac Elites that were trialled in our casinos - whatever the denomination of bills, or their condition, they were accepted on first insertion over 98 times in every 100.
"The slot machines in our recently opened casinos have Ardac Elite fitted. In fact, we now specify Ardac Elite as standard in all our casino and slot hall machines."
