Winner: TransAct – Epic 950
TransAct’s Epic 950 printer has gained a groundswell of support in Asia since the product was installed on the floor at Wynn Macau in September 2006.
High reliability and ease of integration, and the ability to easily swap the printer between one device and another, have been cited as reasons for the success of the Epic 950. Strong sales and service support from the local TransAct team are also seen as a big plus.
TransAct’s Epic 950 printer was specified as the printer of choice on all the slot machines at Melco Crown Entertainment’s City of Dreams resort on Macau’s Cotai Strip® when it opened in June 2009.
Honourable Mention: FutureLogic – GEN2
The GEN2 printer is the second-generation ticket-in, ticketout (TITO) printer by FutureLogic. Its proprietary Intelligent Ticket Handling technology ensures that cash out tickets are fully printed before being ejected from the slot machine. To improve the printer’s reliability further, the IntelligentBezel feature detects for obstruction near the bezel and reduces paper jams, by waiting for a clear path before a ticket is ejected. A separate port is provided for convenient firmware upgrades without the need to remove the printer from the slot machine.
