Already undergoing trials in the European market, following exceptional first-time acceptance in exhaustive UK field trials, Ardac Elite is the first in a new generation of acceptor: traditional acceptors sample only parts of a bill; Ardac Elite, on the other hand, takes a true ‘full-colour’ image of the whole bill using state-of-the-art optoelectronics. More than that, it also scans the whole bill using UV and IR light. The high-resolution whole image is then processed using ultra-high-speed digital techniques which enable Ardac Elite to identify the latest inbuilt security features anywhere on the bill; unlike competitive products which have ‘blind spots’. This ‘feature focus’ enables the highest first-time acceptance of real bills and rejection of all known frauds.

Ardac Elite’s scanning technology also allows acceptance of coupons and tickets, giving operators maximum flexibility for customer payment. And its wide-angle opening provides ease of insertion, enhancing the gaming experience for slot players.

The benefits for casino operators don’t stop there. Exceptionally tolerant of dirt, smoke and scratches, Ardac Elite maximizes in-service performance and reduces maintenance costs. What’s more, thanks to a range of bezels, looms and protocols, it can be integrated easily into existing machines and, with USB connectivity, it’s the ideal acceptor for new-generation machines.

Speaking in the build-up to G2E, Ron Rollins, Money Controls’ Vice President of Global Gaming, said: “Ardac Elite is truly the most exciting product to hit the money-handling business in the last twenty- five years. It’s already creating a stir throughout the European gaming market and looks set to repeat this worldwide. With high-security performance, increased machine turnover, and simple serviceability, Ardac Elite is the ultimate future-proof bill and ticket acceptor.”
