CASH HANDLING
SC Advance: More Than a Note Validator
Casinos across the U.S. have partnered with Crane Payment Innovations to incorporate nearly 4 million SC Advance note validators into their machines.

n the current gaming industry landscape, casinos are faced with shifting demographics, labor constraints and costs, and the ever-more-competitive environment for capturing and maintaining consumer spend. While there are several ways to adopt and overcome these challenges, leveraging payment
technology can be a simple and effective win to drive a long-term gain in revenue, operational effi ciency, consumer experience and brand equity. Given this, having a central payment system that is equipped to handle all forms of payment is critical for sustained success. That’s why casinos across the U.S. have partnered with Crane Payment Innovations to incorporate nearly 4 million SC Advance note validators into their machines.
Your Central Hub for Everything Payment At its core, the SC Advance is a banknote validator with a low cost of ownership that provides secure note acceptance in a fl exible
design that fi ts into a variety of gaming applications. Touting a 98% fi rst-pass acceptance rate with the lowest jam rate in its class for both street-grade cash and TITO tickets, the SC Advance ensures a smooth and uninterrupted playing experience. The SC Advance can also be easily extended to accept
alternative forms of payment, acting as the enabler for any payments in your casino such as cashless transactions with digital wallets.
Simply attaching a Bluetooth® module onto an existing machine allows the SC Advance to handle cashless payments by operating in conjunction with Pavilion Payment’s VIP Mobility app. VIP Mobility enables guests to pair their device to a machine via a QR code, offering a seamless way for patrons to manage their funds from their phone without having to interrupt their session. Upgrading an existing SC Advance is the quickest and easiest way to enable cashless payments, reducing the operational overhaul required by alternative methods. If the market should further evolve and casinos begin embracing
new forms of payment, CPI has the institutional experience, reach and technology to evolve with it and accept any digital payment that arises in the future.
A Portal Into Greater Operational Effi ciency Casinos are currently experiencing record-high revenues, which means that with high visitation numbers, employees are busier than ever. Reducing machine downtime as much as possible is crucial when you’re short-staffed and multiple employees are scrambling to address operational issues during peak times. By integrating Easitrax software with the SC Advance, you can predict and prevent these issues before they happen, saving you any loss of revenue from excessive downtime. With Easitrax Web or Connect, operators can monitor each SC Advance cashbox through either a website or real-time mobile app, receiving alerts when a slot machine’s cashbox is full or needs attention. This allows operators to get ahead of any issue before it affects the consumer, resulting in a frictionless playing experience and minimal revenue loss. Operators can also use the Easitrax dashboard to see which machines are low on in-demand notes, and recirculate them without making a trip to the bank or engaging a CIT.
Ready For Whatever Comes Next As the casino industry moves into the future, regulations are bound to evolve, prioritizing consumer preferences, operator needs, and technologies that effectively promote responsible gaming and implement know-your-customer best practices. Having a payment system that can keep up with whatever comes next is paramount for running a successful and competitive casino. Our solutions are designed to serve as more than just a facilitator for cash payments - they function as the central hub for anything payment-related within your casino. Regardless of what lies ahead in the future of gaming, CPI solutions are fully equipped to handle it.
