MEI Announces ICE Lineup

MEI has announced the lineup of advanced cash-handling products the company will display at February’s ICE Totally Gaming trade show.

Cash-handling equipment supplier MEI has announced the lineup of products it will display at stand N7-122 February’s ICE Totally Gaming trade show in London.

The company will be displaying its successful payment solutions such as the SC Advance portfolio, including Easitrax Soft Count, as well as previewing the new SCR banknote recycler.

The SCR is a two-denomination note recycler based on MEI’s SC platform, which has a field-installed base of 1.5 million units. It combines the performance and reliability features of SC Advance technology with the benefits of note recycling as part of a total cash management solution. And, because the development is designed for the challenging German gaming market, the architecture features an anti-stringing module as part of a feature set the company says “will set the standard for security in note recycling.”

The SCR performs all the functions of a traditional accept/dispense unit from a single closed-loop system that accepts, accounts for and stores cash from one player to give as change to the next.  This eliminates hopper starvation in AWP applications and, as a result, machines can run for longer periods of time without requiring maintenance.

The SCR features the same acceptor head as the SC Advance note acceptor. SC Advance evolved from MEI’s winning Cashflow SC note acceptor.

MEI will also be exhibiting Easitrax Web – a value-added feature to the cash management program that is now installed in more than 100,000 games worldwide.  Easitrax Web makes it possible to create customized reports and access that data anywhere in the world.

The PPM Advance, a next-generation support tool, will also be on display. According to the company, the product “helps operators gain even more control over their games by generating newfound operational efficiencies and lowering maintenance costs.

“It allows technicians to perform quick and easy in-field updates for currency data, configuration data and software; performance diagnostics; and audit data reporting.”
