SHOW REVIEW
CPI Crane Payment Innovations showcased a suite of connectivity- enabled solutions for the gaming industry during ICE. Alongside an extensive product range for coin and banknote validation, the company’s key highlights at the show included the Easitrax Connect business intelligence platform as well as the CPI Ticket Purchasing Kiosk, featuring the Alio card reader. The Alio portfolio from CPI leads the company’s suite of connected cashless solutions. This new range of all-in-one card readers combines PIN pad, card reader, and screen into a single device. Alio enables all forms of electronic payment, including magnetic swipe, chip, and contactless, as well as the full range of mobile pay options. Built with gaming operators in mind, Alio’s large screen (available in 3.5” and 4.3” models) supports PIN-on-glass capability to enable high-value transactions. Integrated with the CPI ticket-purchasing kiosk, Alio also enables patrons to maximize play by purchasing a TITO (ticket-in-ticket-out) play voucher without having to visit an ATM. Backed by the expertise of the existing CPI cashless portfolio
– currently encapsulating over 700k live connections – Alio is positioned to provide new payment options for gaming operators. “Accepting more forms of payment has shown to increase how much gaming revenue operators are able take in,” said Anette Jauch, EMEA Sales Director of Gaming. “Alio makes it easier than ever for customers who don’t carry cash to play. And, because the Ticket Purchasing Kiosk is so compact, it’s a far more affordable option than an ATM or redemption kiosk. That means operators can place more of them around the gaming floor – and in more convenient zones for their players.” In addition to Alio, CPI also exhibited its Easitrax Connect platform. Connecting to the SC Advance, Easitrax Connect is designed to help operators manage their floors in real time. It provides unprecedented live visibility to device performance, data analytics, and up-to-the-second insights. Since the software launched in 2019, more than 12,000 machines have been connected worldwide.
