Monaco has set a precedent within the Gaming industry. With gaming traditions dating back to 1856, its glamour and prestige are unmatched worldwide. SBM’s decision to specify MEI CASFHLOW in its five casinos – Casino de Monte Carlo, Casino de Paris, Sun Casino, Monte Carlo Bay Casino and Summer Casino – is reflective of its desire to offers customers the best possible experience across its 1,000-slot operation.

The conversion to MEI began when Erik Wijma and the Suzo-Happ European Casino team introduced a VAT trial as a way to test the CASHFLOW SC’s performance. Erik Wijma of Suzo-Happ in Europe explained, “The industry looks to SBM to prove their worth. SBM is dedicated to anything that can improve the player experience, so their interest was almost immediate and the trial was able to quickly commence.”

After ninety days, SBM could see a real difference and became convinced of the MEI CASHFLOW banknote reader. Mr. Pierre-louis Castel, Technical Manager of the Slots Department stated, “The installation was easy and the results at the end of the trial were positive and clear: the acceptance rate was found to be far superior to other models used in our machines.” Mr. Castel continued, “Banknote and ticket acceptance plays a critical role in the revenue of every slot machine. We really saw the value in carrying out this VAT. These units need little to no maintenance and are well appreciated by our floor staff and the players who can now enjoy uninterrupted play.”

Mr. Castel further explains the benefits of placing MEI on the casino floor, “The trouble-free performance and very high acceptance rate of the MEI acceptor have significantly increased machine up time and revenue. Thus, we have decided to order all new machines with MEI acceptors as a standard fitting”.

The combination of best-in-class products with an in-depth technical team of Suzo-Happ is highlighted by Mr. Castel’s final comment, “I would also like to add that this product is backed up by their very professional sales and technical team who assured a full and comprehensive training course for our technicians”. The casino industry is continuing to benefit from the commercial and technical knowledge of the Suzo-Happ team – that spans a whole range of casino components.

Mark Greenawalt, MEI’s European and African Gaming Director, states, “We’re very pleased to have an operation as prestigious as the SBM group recognize the value of CASHFLOW SC. The result speaks for itself … c’est magnifique. In many ways, we feel as if we have won the Monaco Grand Prix: it’s a glamorous victory, was a team effort and required speed and precision to win the race. We’re very proud of our race car, the CASHFLOW SC, and welcome the any opportunity to take it for a test drive. MEI would like to thank SBM for its confidence in our products and for their continued business.” (E-02.03.09)
