Review JCM GLOBAL
JCM Global presented the next stage in the evolution of currency validation at ICE
The way the world spends money is evolving with gaming transactions being no different. The message fromthe ICE Totally Gaming stand of JCM Global was that evolution was in the currency validation manufacturer’s DNA.
JCM is helping casinos everywhere evolve their gaming floors to be even more accurate and secure with three key products launched at ICE 2013; its Dynamic Network Applications, its Mobile Wager Wallet and the iV8 table game bill validator.
Operating wirelessly or hard-wired, Dynamic Network Applications (DNA) passively monitors the EGM ‘SAS’ line for critical housekeeping data, while securing two-way communication with all critical peripheral components.
Tom Nieman, Vice President of Global Marketing at JCM Global, said: “DNA is a validation port on steroids. The amount of extensive, real time reports it provides is unreal. It delivers firmware updates instantly, with no downtime, across the entire operation. The back end is a highly regulated information highway. It instantly verifies peripheral devices, updates software versions and enables the viewing of reports. DNA will continue to evolve with more applications. The bill validator is no longer just a bill validator.”
The evolution continues to table games with the new iV8 table game bill validator, which gives operators Intelligent Validation at eight notes per second. The iV8 bill validator was developed specifically for the high-volume table game marketplace of Macau and Las Vegas. It has a compact, sleek, streamline design and has been proven to increase play time.
“This month we’ll have three units out on trial in markets where the buy-in process on high volume tables can slow the game down. The denominating process in Baccarat can shut down play for minutes, which in those markets can cost fortunes. Buy-ins are inserted directly into an adjoining tray where every note is then validated and counted and the total value displayed for everyone to see and verify, the player, the dealer, pit management and overhead surveillance, all at an

iV8 moves rejected or suspect notes into
a separate tray during tabulation. This ‘reject’ tray is capable of handling up to 50 notes per buy-in. The entry tray has a capacity of 200 notes, enabling iV8 to process the largest of buy-ins. Because iV8 validates and counts each note, it helps to eliminate human errors and potential fraud in counterfeits, adding to the operation’s bottom line.
“The real advantage with this validator though is in the number of extra games the casino can have each hour,” Mr. Nieman added. “Instead of buy-ins stopping play for up to three minutes, the iV8 buy-in process takes mere seconds, allowing play to resume much more

quickly, and therefore adding the potential for a full hour’s play.”
In terms of evolution though, it is probably Mobile Wager Wallet, that remains the most futuristic, however this is also a product for the here and now. Mobile Wager Wallet is the world’s first fully interactive mobile wager network that connects players, QuickJack redemption ATM kiosks and gaming devices. Developed in conjunction with Techfirm, Mobile Wager Wallet delivers mobile transaction capability across the entire casino operation, quickly, easily and securely. NRT, the leading provider of multifunctional redemption ATM kiosks, has integrated the Mobile Wager Wallet technology into their ATM. This integration allows casino customers to withdraw virtual funds from ATMs onto their phone and into their mobile wager wallet for use at electronic gaming machines, and potentially at retail, food and entertainment venues within a casino property.
Mobile e-money is commonplace in Japan, with millions of smartphones being NFC enabled. Outside of Japan, the technology is just starting to be accepted in all aspects of automated transactions. It is anticipated to grow quickly in North America (Google recently announced its launch of a Google Wallet).
