Slot machines say no to cash
April 17, 2006 on 10:10 pm | In Slot machine articles online |Picky slot machines in some Atlantic City (New Jersey, USA) casinos are rejecting the new design US ten dollar notes. Introduced recently with added anti-counterfeiting technology, the bills are just different enough to cause problems for some slot machines.
“The problem is extensive,” Virginia McDowell, a spokeswoman for Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., told The Press of Atlantic City. “
In the future this issue will be mitigated by two factors - remote download of new software to each slot machine to instantly upgrade its note acceptance capabilities - and the eventual introduction of completely cashless slot machines via smart card or similar technology.
In any case, the reluctance of the slots to accept what they perceive to be “invalid” cash is a good thing, it means they’re doing their job.
