Universal Entertainment announced that they have created a brand-new game machine which is optimized to accept multiple currencies including US dollars, Euro, Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars, and Philippine pesos.
According to a report from the JASDAQ stock exchange, Universal Entertainment stated:
”Up to now, it was only allowed to play any gaming machine using the bills of the country where a casino is operated or those of certain countries. This system has significant features enabling the use of bills of various foreign countries to save the time and effort of currency exchange, which will improve casino players’ convenience, and at the same time, significantly reducing the personnel cost associated with the money exchange services.”
Machine Details
Newly developed machines will allow customers to choose among available currencies while playing their favorite slot games. It will be suitable for VIP users who will avoid the long-lasting process of conversion. Casinos will also profit from automatic machines as they will need less staff to manage operations. It will result in significant savings for casino providers.
Universal noted:
“The Slot Program Play System makes it possible to provide preferred customer services independently configured by casino operators to players who insert a certain amount of money or more in a casino slot machine within a certain period of time. It does so by systemizing the rolling programs that have been conventionally administered as preferred customer services at baccarat and other table games.”
Current Situation
Automatic slot machines are currently optimized to work at the Okada Manilla venue in the Philippines. Machines are created in line with PAGOR guidelines and Universal hopes to expand its application to other venues. With these innovative machines, Universal is on the way to becoming a globally recognized brand. The company hopes to:
”Leverage to the maximum extent its proprietary technological development prowess as a manufacturer of amusement machines for the Japanese market and the advantages that it enjoys as the parent of a corporate group containing an IR casino operator in order to expand its casino-related operations going forward.”
