JCM Global has completed an upgrade of more than 1,400 slot machines at Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino in Coarsegold, California, installing its iVIZION bill validator across the property’s casino floor.
Following the installation, the entire slot floor at Chukchansi Gold now utilizes JCM’s iVIZION bill validator technology. The property operates more than 2,000 slot machines, all of which are now equipped with the system.
“Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino is pleased to announce the recent upgrade of all UBA bill validators to the latest JCM iVIZION bill validator technology. Our partnership with JCM spans more than 20 years, dating back to the early WBA series, and this latest advancement further reinforces our commitment to delivering a superior guest experience,” Sean Emel, Director of Slots at Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, said.
“With more than 2,000 slot machines now equipped with state-of-the-art iVIZION bill validators, guests at Chukchansi Gold will benefit from enhanced performance, reliability, and security. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with JCM as we invest in technologies that elevate our casino floor,” Emel added.
Chukchansi Gold also uses JCM’s GEN5 thermal printer and ICB Intelligent Cash Box system as part of its slot operations.
“The Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino has been voted the best casino in Central California for 18 years for many reasons, and JCM is honored to continue our partnership with the property. We have worked closely with the Chukchansi Gold team for more than two decades and are thrilled to complete this latest phase of the technology road map we created for the property,” Dave Kubajak, JCM’s senior vice president of sales, marketing, and operations, said.
JCM iVIZION bill validator uses Contact Image Sensor technology to scan banknotes and tickets, capturing images of both sides and scanning significantly more data points than traditional validators, while maintaining high acceptance rates.
