City Casino Group of Bulgaria has selected the Cashflow SC83 bill validator from payment mechanism specialist MEI to be installed as standard equipment on all new slot machines.

City Casino operates over 1,200 slots and other electronic gaming tables at 17 venues around the country, with plans to expand further in 2010.

Georgi Stefanov, project manager at City Casino, said, "Our strategy is to be acquainted with the premium product manufacturers in the casino industry. We had heard so much positive feedback from casinos specifying the MEI Cashflow SC83 that we were very keen to take part in a VAT."

"VAT" is MEI shorthand for "value-added trial," which allows an operator to test the quality of MEI products under live-action conditions.

"The ease of entering the banknotes is paramount-the experience with note rejection and
note jams, leading to machine downtime, had a negative impact on our business in the past," said Stefanov. "The MEI Cashflow SC83 has solved this problem for us. It has been reliable since the first day in operation."
