Leading transaction technology supplier JCM Global has received additional patents for its innovative Fuzion slot technology, which adds kiosk-like capabilities to slot machines.
JCM has been aggressively pursuing comprehensive patent protection on the Fuzion system, and U.S. Patent No. 10,140,817 is the latest in a long line of patents JCM has earned for its groundbreaking products.
“We are thrilled to continue to receive additional patents for our Fuzion technology,” said JCM Global Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations David Kubajak. “JCM’s spirit of innovation dates back to the company’s beginning in 1955, and ever since, our global teams of developers have been relentless in their pursuit of innovative products and technologies that help our customers operate their casino floors in more secure, more profitable ways.”
Fuzion was first unveiled to the gaming industry at the Global Gaming Expo 2017, and earned immediate and widespread accolades from attendees for its abilities to greatly enhance functionality at an electronic gaming machine, including a gold medal in GGB magazine’s Gaming & Technology Awards.
When paired with JCM’s iVIZION bill validator, JCM’s GEN5 thermal printer, and JCM’s PNA network device; the Fuzion technology creates possibilities such as:
- Increased revenue – Fuzion turns any EGM into a multi-function kiosk through iPROMO, by printing and redeeming tickets for external systems (promotional, lottery, sports, pari-mutuel, fantasy sports, etc.)
- Enhanced security – Fuzion actively monitors on every machine for money laundering, and other suspicious activities. Every transaction has a bill image and serial number for detailed reporting of cash box contents.
- Improved efficiency – Fuzion monitors the real-time performance of any connected device, allows remote upgrading of firmware, and assists in automated W2G forms for Jackpot processing.
- Added mobile connectivity – Fuzion provides a mobile connection to the EGM and peripherals to allow new features (Mobile I/O, Mobile Wager Wallet, iTITO and Mobile User Interfaces).
