Innovative Technology has refined its NB9 bill acceptor into a more compact size to more readily fit gaming machines. The company took its new model to the FER show in Madrid for its official launch.

The NB9 has a note float which can store and recycle 30 notes, but managing director Aidan Towey said: "The market wants a big payout but with a smaller machines there is less space. Now our NB200 will handle 80 notes of different denominations and at the same time it is 50 per cent smaller. The 200 will go into high volume machines, including those in casinos, and also fits neatly into the specifications for AWPs."
