ased in the UK, Astrosystems Ltd is the European/UK regional office of Astrosys
effective solutions for both the gaming and amusement sectors. Microcoin coin acceptors continue to
strengthen their position in the global amusement and gaming marketplace. The Microcoin SP has enjoyed great success across the entire width of
Europe.The extremely high levels of reliability from the SP, together with a unique jam release mechanism, have made this a very attractive product to operators and service technicians alike. Additional features of the SP include a unique Bonus credit system, and remote downloading of firmware and software.
The Microcoin QL coin
validator has a wide acceptance in global gaming, with specification from OEMs such as IGT, Aristocrat and Konami. It enjoys popularity in other markets and an overall reputation in the industry at large as the best high speed multi-coin and token acceptor in the world today. Its success has been based upon the capability to reliably operate at up to 10 coins per second as a single or multi-coin acceptor across a wide range of world currencies, whilst maintaining a strong protective barrier against fraud attempts. AstroSystems’ Global Bill
Acceptors range is truly diverse. The stackerless GBA ST2 bank note reader has been particularly successful in the challenging
European gaming and amusement markets, especially with its 85mm note width acceptance. Its ease of servicing and cost- effectiveness, along with impressive levels of reliability, have been the major contributing factors. Software and firmware can be downloaded via USB stick, or via ccTalk and RS232 interfaces, to further enhance the simplicity of operation. The GBA ST1 is an integrated stacker with a
modular architecture and secure, lockable cashbox design. The ability to dis-assemble the unit and then re-assemble it within 30 seconds is a plus with service technicians, as is the ability to re-configure the GBA ST1 from upstacker to downstacker operation with only the change of the front fascia. Also particularly beneficial for the amusement sector is the opportunity to mount ST1 in a horizontal orientation, allowing it to be fitted into standard AWP-style cabinets. The most recent addition to the product
family is the GBA GV1, a front loading note validator designed for security markets ranging from kiosks, payment systems to gaming. Whilst it is designed to deliver on market demands for form and fit, it has unique characteristics which make it an attractive solution with regard to serviceability and modularity. All of the note and coin validation solutions
available from AstroSystems are supported by comprehensive customer software packages, and backed up by excellent technical and after sales expertise. To learn more, phone 01235 772201, visit
