Te process for granting licences would be streamlined under current proposals to 24 hours as opposed to two months. Some of the new changes are expected to be implemented in 2018.

“Tanks to CPI, most of our players won’t ever have to deal with the hassle of currency exchange before sitting down at a game. Tat’s not only a big win for them – but also for us! Accepting what our players have in their wallets is critical to earning their loyalty. And, because SC Advance is so secure, we know it’s going to recognize and reject any fraudulent note, regardless of its currency, each and every time. It was the perfect solution for us.”
“Our customers clearly know what a difference having the best banknote validator makes,” said Anette Jauch, CPI sales director for Gaming – EMEA. “SC Advance has proven itself time and again to keep players happy and attract more money to the cashbox. We are so proud that it was chosen as the preferred banknote validator for Casino Schaanwald and that we can support CAI’s debut expansion into Liechtenstein.”
